When network security issues arise, do you want a faster, simpler way to resolve them? We provide the extra support you need.
As the threat landscape continuously evolves, your existing firewall technology faces increasing pressure. To keep up, new technologies are constantly added, creating the challenge of managing multiple vendor solutions with different contact processes and escalation paths.
At Net Desire, we act as an extension of your IT security team, managing and supporting multiple firewall technologies, each with its unique escalation paths. Our escalation-level engineers (beyond first-line support) ensure performance issues are swiftly resolved.
Firewall Protection:
The gateway/perimeter defense system must be robust enough to prevent emerging threats like DDoS, Command & Control attacks, DNS hijacking, and numerous other known and unknown threats. Next-generation firewalls equipped with intrusion detection and prevention, SSL inspection, application control, traffic inspection with antivirus, and sandboxing significantly strengthen your network perimeter.
Network Detection and Response (NDR):
As your IT infrastructure grows, so does the number of networking devices within your network. For security teams, it’s crucial to have full visibility into internal network traffic. NDR provides in-depth visibility, making it easier to identify and respond to network threats—because the network is often the main source of security risks.
Network Access Control (NAC):
It’s essential to know and control which endpoints and devices are communicating with your critical infrastructure, ensuring compliance with your organization’s security policies. NAC solutions help ensure that only authorized devices interact with your network according to policy, providing total security in line with organizational and compliance needs.
Our Security Partnerships Active Response Centre delivers the capabilities you need to stay ahead of emerging threats and maintain strong, resilient security.
DLP & MDM
Data Security & Privacy
In today’s digital age, data is one of the most critical assets for any organization. To protect it from potential leaks, it is essential to classify data and establish robust policies to prevent exposure across all possible channels.
Data Classification:
Data classification is a crucial approach for identifying, protecting, and managing information, quickly becoming a best practice. When integrated into a layered security strategy, it allows organizations to defend against various threats, whether from external attackers or unintentional internal leaks. It also unlocks the full potential of data, driving innovation and productivity.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP):
DLP is a strategy to ensure that users do not unintentionally or maliciously leak sensitive information outside the corporate network. DLP software safeguards data by applying rules that protect critical information from unauthorized access. Proper user permissions and monitoring data flow are vital to preventing insider threats and ensuring the integrity of company data.
Data Privacy:
Everyone has the right to privacy. Information such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Personal Health Information (PHI) must be protected to preserve individuals’ rights. Industries and governments have created regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, NISA, and RBI Guidelines to enforce data privacy. Organizations must comply with these regulations to safeguard sensitive information.
Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB):
As businesses increasingly migrate to the cloud, sensitive data becomes harder to control. A CASB provides visibility and control over cloud data, enforcing a wide range of security policies. These policies may include authentication, single sign-on, authorization, credential mapping, device profiling, encryption, tokenization, logging, alerting, and malware detection/prevention.
Encryption:
Encryption is the process of encoding data to prevent unauthorized access. If encrypted data is exposed, it will remain unreadable without the proper decryption key. Encryption solutions protect sensitive data across corporate devices by securing files, folders, emails, attachments, removable media, virtual disks, and even entire disks. These solutions are user-friendly, support remote control of encryption keys, and do not require a server for deployment.
Mail Security
Email has become the most widely used communication method for businesses and individuals, making it crucial for it to be both secure and reliable. However, issues like virus-infected emails and network wiretapping can compromise its reliability.
A mail security product is designed to safeguard the email channel from various threats that could potentially enter the network.
These security solutions perform several key functions, including:
- Anti-Spam: Filters out unwanted or malicious emails to prevent spam from overwhelming inboxes.
- Anti-Phishing: Detects and blocks attempts to trick users into revealing sensitive information through fraudulent emails.
- Anti-Malware: Scans and prevents the delivery of malware, ensuring attachments and email content are free from harmful threats.
By scanning sender addresses, email content, and attachments, a mail security product ensures that only legitimate emails are allowed to pass through, protecting both the network and sensitive data.
Identity Access Management & PAM
Data and resources should be accessible only to authenticated users, with permissions granted strictly according to the organization’s policies.
Regardless of where employees are working, they need access to organizational resources such as apps, files, and data. Traditionally, most employees worked on-site, where company resources were secured behind a firewall. Once on-site and logged in, they could access what they needed. However, as remote work becomes more common, ensuring secure access to these resources is vital.
Privileged Access Management (PAM):
PAM is an identity security solution designed to protect organizations from cyber threats by monitoring, detecting, and preventing unauthorized privileged access to critical resources. It works by combining people, processes, and technology, giving visibility into who is using privileged accounts and what actions they are performing. By limiting the number of users with administrative access, PAM enhances system security, while additional protection layers help mitigate potential data breaches by threat actors.
Identity Governance and Administration (IGA):
IGA solutions streamline user identity lifecycle management, enabling enterprises to manage user access efficiently. Security administrators can automate the provisioning and de-provisioning of user access throughout the access lifecycle. IGA works closely with Identity and Access Management (IAM) processes to help admins manage permissions and maintain compliance. Key IGA features include provisioning, entitlement management, segregation of duties (SoD), access reviews, and role-based access management.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to verify users’ identities when logging into systems. Security experts recommend multi-factor authentication because passwords can be easily stolen or guessed, leaving accounts vulnerable. With 2FA, in addition to the password (something the user knows), the second factor is “something the user has”—such as a cellphone—making it significantly harder for unauthorized individuals to gain access.
By implementing these strategies, organizations can ensure that only authorized users have access to critical data and systems, regardless of location, while protecting against unauthorized access and breaches.
