Knowledge Base

Solution Approach

Providing effective information security solutions includes a balanced combination of four elements, Technology, Process, People, and Facilities.

Solution Approach

Technology

Technology provides the tools for information assurance including systems for implementing and managing information security. Examples are identification & authentication, host and application access control, packet filters and firewalls, intrusion detection, vulnerability scanners, virtual private networks, and encryption among others. We offer and work with the latest technologies in these areas and have many of them available for review in our product demonstration lab.

Process

Process is necessary to derive benefit from technology. Our processes includes an integrated set of methods and techniques including landscape discovery, risk assessment, boundary protection, intrusion detection, incident response, and enterprise management.

People

People provide the expertise to use the technologies and the processes. Our staff are actively engaged in solving current day problems for both commercial and government sponsors. Our experience spans many of the critical infrastructures such as banking, telecommunications, government, intelligence, and military.

Facilities

Facilities provide the physical environment and infrastructure for information security. Our extensive security, computing, and networking facilities for information assurance host product and technology demonstrations, system design, engineering, and testing. Our secure facilities include government accredited areas, screen rooms, storage, processing and communications.
