Smart Networks Require Smart Security
Networks
In recent years, issues with security that simply did not exist on analogue systems are now critical to the integrity of an IP network. In recent years systems have evolved from centralised environments to distributed environments.
This is especially true on large integrated systems, where a threat agent could exploit vulnerability, leave the whole system inoperable in minutes, cost thousands in compensatory measures, such as manned guarding and take days to identify and eliminate the vulnerability.
The best aspect of IP networks is everything can 'talk' to everything else.
The worst aspect of IP networks is everything can 'talk' to everything else.
Securing these networks against unwanted access is fundamental, for example a VOIP gate intercom is great for integrating into a system, but it is also an easy access point for anyone with a laptop, determination and a little knowledge.
We offer: -
- Full evaluation of network, with a detailed report and recommendations
- Alternative design and upgrade path to update and rectify vulnerability's
- Produce Network security policy, with regard to operating and securing telemetry and vulnerable systems
- Strategy on managing logon and passwords - every IP camera has a username and password associated with it, having an audit trail of who is allowed access is a core recommendation of the CCTV codes of practice
- Production of firewall rules - to lock down the system and only open the ports required
- Set-up of Virtual Private Network, (VPN) and Internet Protocol Security, (IPSec) tunnels for remote secure monitoring
- Advice on implementing and securing a voice over IP, (VOIP) intercom or public address, (PA) system
- Bandwidth recommendations for streaming video and audio
- Arrange and document penetration tests of network and systems
