Intrusion Detection Monitoring
In order to monitor your Internet connection, we install a machine on your network to watch for suspicious traffic. We monitor your connection live 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If there is a high level security threat, our intrusion detection system notifies our staff of trained professionals. We then block the nefarious traffic and contact you personally in order to provide you with comprehensive information regarding the attack. We also monitor your internal network for policy violations, free of charge.
Penetration Testing allows you to correct vulnerabilities before hackers exploit them. Our penetration testing begins with a quiet attack to check Firewall responses. After determining the type of hardware and software used at the perimeter, exploits are applied to gain access. At service conclusion, a two part report is compiled containing an executive summary of any vulnerabilities found in the network, recommendations of measures needed to close the holes, and a technical rendering of the data generated during the test.
Standard SMTP uses unencrypted means to send and receive e-mails; these emails are subject to being hijacked and important company and client information may be stolen. Our e-mail encryption system allows the delivery of encrypted emails to customers and employees using a pre-trust relationship through SSL on your server and your confidential information is stored on-site, in your DMZ, rather than being stored by a third party provider.
A Softwink Firewall can protect your network from worms, viruses, and hacker attacks. Using ingress and egress stateful packet inspection, we can prevent hackers from getting into your network, prevent private information from leaving your network, and enforce compliance of your institution's internal Internet usage policy.
Using Softwink's Spamguard © can reduce your spam by 99% while protecting your email against malicious worms and viruses. Softwink's Spamguard sits between your network's e-mail server and the Internet. As e-mail is received, Spamguard scans every e-mail to check for spam and to identify malicious attachments.
In addition to network security design, auditing, and evaluation, Softwink can provide a full range of network services, including:
- Firewall / DMZ Installation
- Security Assessment Auditing
