Based on his extensive experience in industry Eric's offers a wide range of high end consulting on a range of Network Security Topics.  Some of the many areas of services are:

Products

Assessments – assess the security of a company from all aspects including physical, network, personal, host, policy, etc.  Full assessments look at the company from an external and internal perspective, with the goal of identifying potential issues and giving companies a roadmap to fixing the problems.  Assessments could also be specialized in nature, for example firewall assessments.

                        Network Security Assessment

                        Network Assessment

                       Perimeter Assessment

 

Penetration Testing – assess the security of a company from a hackers perspective.  In this day and age more and more companies are concerned about the threat of their assets to a hacker.  This testing looks at the security vulnerabilities purely from an external standpoint.

                        External Scan

                        External Scan and Probe

 

Firewalls/Perimeter – firewalls play a key role in the protection of most companies, yet most companies do not have them designed or configured correctly.

                        Firewall Design and Implementation

                        Firewall Re-Design and Configuration

 

Intrusion Detection – more and more companies and concerned with being able to detect an intruder that his trying to do damage to their site.  Setting up an intrusion detection system (IDS), requires a lot of skill and must be configured correctly, otherwise the number of false alarms is unbearable.

                        Intrusion Detection Design and Implementation

 

Encryption, VPN and PKI – the proper use of encryption, plays a key role in defense in depth and securing the resources at a company.  Yet most companies do not configure or use encryption properly to protect their corporate assets.

                        Encryption Assessment

                        VPN Design and Implementation

                               PKI design and implementation

 

Security Architecture – more and more companies are starting to realize the importance of security, but they still think of it as an afterthought.  Securing a network is more than just putting in a firewall.  A network must be designed with security in mind, otherwise it will provide minimal protection.

                        Network Assessment

                        Network Security Blueprint

                        Design and Implementation of New Secure Networks

                        Re-design and Implementation

 

Incident Handling – incidents occur when companies least suspect and most companies are not prepared to deal with an incident that could jeopardize the success of their company.  Being able to handle an incident, requires skills and expertise.

                        Incident Assessment

                        Incident Handling Retainer

                        Build out of Internal Team

 

Policy Development –most companies do not understand the importance of having a clear security policy and therefore either do not have a policy or have a confusing unenforceable policy.

                        Policy development

                        Policy review and Re-design

 

Site certification – with the rise of the Internet, companies realize the importance the Internet plays in their on-going success.  They also realize the risk the Internet poses.  Therefore they want to know if their site is secure.  There is no such thing as 100% secure, but a site can be analyzed against a set of security requirements to see how well they meet those requirements.

                        Requirement Generation

                        Site Certification

                        Follow-on Certification

                        Certification Recommendations and Implementation

 

Risk Analysis – companies that want to succeed in this current market, cannot reduce all of their risk, but they must know how to mitigate risk.  By clearly understanding, what is important to a company, proper security measures can be put in place to protect those key assets.

                        Risk Analysis

                        Risk Reduction Implementation

 

Training/Seminars – large and small companies a like need in house expertise to be able to maintain a proper level of security.  General security training is available through many sources and is very good.  Specialized training for certain markets or detailed technical training is harder to come by and is in great demand.  Also, training is a great way to increase the customer base.

                        Hands on Hacking

                        Protecting Your Site by Hacking Into it

                        Security Issues for Financial Companies

                        Daily Consulting

                        Weekly Consulting

 

 

 

Managed Services (Monitoring)

Perimeter (Firewalls and Routers) – any external attacker that is going to breach a company, has to breach the perimeter security.  Therefore, careful monitoring of the perimeter of a company can provide invaluable information to detecting and preventing an intruder from compromising a company’s assets.

                        Firewall Managed Services

                        Router Managed Services

 

Intrusion Detection – as more and more companies understand the threats posed by attackers, they understand the need for intrusion detection systems (IDS).  Unfortunately, they are very hard to configure and require constant care and feeding.

                        Intrusion Detection Managed Services – Network

                        Intrusion Detection Managed Services - Host

 

Servers – the range of devices that incorporate the security perimeter of a network, range from hardware devices to dedicated servers.  Therefore, the servers that are providing security services must be protected.

                        Server Managed Services

                        Email Managed Services

                        Web Managed Services

 

 

Subscriptions

Weekly advisories – the earlier a company finds out about important information, the more useful the information is to the security of the company.  Weekly/daily advisories highlighting key information that can be used to protect a site can be invaluable.

-         Weekly Security Update

-         High Priority Hacker Alert

 

Company watch – a large amount of information that attackers use to compromise a site is found in open source information.  Yet most companies do not realize what information can be found out about them, or the type of information they inadvertently give out.

-         Monthly Company Profile

-         Monthly Company Profile and Risk Analysis

 

Vulnerability list – new vulnerabilities come out on a daily basis and keeping track of them is very difficult.  Also, in most cases since a company is running only a limited set of hardware, only a small percentage of the vulnerabilities actually impact their company.  Having a service that notifies a company of the vulnerabilities that impact their company would be very important.

                        Network Profile

                        Daily Vulnerability Update

 

Vulnerability Scans – since a company is constantly changing, the vulnerabilities that impact the network are also changing.  Therefore periodic assessments of the company can help highlight key areas that need to be fixed to maintain a secure environment.

                        Quarterly Assessments.

                        Monthly Vulnerability Scans

                        On-Demand Vulnerability Scans
