Security Services

With the efficiencies provided by today’s web based and remote working, connecting your organisation’s network to the Internet gives you the flexibility to access your internal IT resources from anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, this advantage also makes you susceptible to hackers exploiting network vulnerabilities, malicious code, inadvertent infection by mobile employees, and even the threat from within.

Security solutions designed and built by Synetrix are used to protect you from the financial and non-financial risks and losses associated with exposing your networks to the Internet.

Our methodology and approach to Perimeter Security ensures that your organisation benefits from the most appropriate solution, based on your requirements.

Combining Firewalls, Intrusion Management, Content Management, strong Authentication mechanisms and Reporting facilities, we provide an integrated, scalable and highly-available solution to your perimeter needs.

Security Management

A pro-active service to manage ongoing operations of the key components of your security solution. It enables us to react pro-actively to alerts generated by the individual solution components. Be at ease knowing that the core security components are being monitored and managed in real-time, thereby increasing both their efficiency and your security.

Security Awareness

Through a consultative approach, we work with you to develop an assessment of your current security technology relative to perceived vulnerabilities, documented with recommendations on how to improve your risk levels.

Vulnerability Assessment

Managing risk is an ongoing process that requires managing threats and vulnerabilities. To provide you with the assurance that your Internet facing infrastructure continues to remain secure, Synetrix offer a Vulnerability Assessment managed service.

Through a blended automated and manual approach, we periodically run thousands of non-destructive security tests against your Internet facing systems, such as web servers, database servers, firewalls and routers – customised to suite your specific environment – with the findings presented in an easy-to-view HTML report.

The Vulnerability Assessment service managed by Synetrix will guard against human error, demonstrates best practice in addressing risk and meeting corporate Governance objectives, and verifies the effective your security controls and policies.

Secure Remote Access

Today's economy survives on communication, optimised by the flexibility to access information from any location, using any device. Private “virtual offices” connect remote workers, branch offices, and wide area networks together using Virtual Private Networks (VPN) that can be accessed by any public network, like the Internet.

With or CLAS (CESG Listed Advisor Scheme) consultants Synetrix have a wealth of experience in designing and implementing secure, resilient remote access solutions in both the public* and private business sectors.

* For the Government and Public sector, advice and guidance for secure remote access into networks handling RESTRICTED information in accordance with Manual V (use of IPSec in government systems). Validation of Manual V implementations. Secure infrastructure design utilising CAPS approved products.

Intrusion Management

Intrusion management systems are vitally important to network security. With network attacks originating inside as well as outside the firewall, intrusion management is an essential line of defence. Successful intrusion management must rely on the detection of more than just attacks and intrusions. While these are very important events, intrusion management solutions make sense of large volumes of information and use this information to highlight only those events or combination of events that are relevant to the organisation's security posture.

Partnering with best-of-breed security solution providers, Synetrix are able to design and build network-based solutions, designed to identify, classify and stop malicious traffic before they affect business continuity.
