Solutions Overview
This solution has been architected to provide the building blocks to secure the edge of a network with the ability to coexist with existing security mechanisms. The Perimeter Security Solution provides three key features:
Prevention - Provides the first line of defense for removing known viruses and preventing malicious attacks. This process entails securing systems, configuring applications, checking for known vulnerabilities, determining the minimum necessary system services to support operations and preparation for response.
Detection - Provides quick detection of intruders and viruses/worms that either pass through the firewall undetected or as an internet attack that occurs behind the firewall. Detects potential issues at various points in the network and its systems and consolidates them in a single scalable and rackable presentation display.
Response - Once detection is made, immediate action must be taken to limit risk and prevent further exploitation of the system. This solution is intended to provide management tools to quickly identify the exact characteristics and respond to new security attacks and trackback functionality that leads back to the source of the attack.

Perimeter Security Solution
Enterprises are relying more and more on the Internet and the Web to run their business. Today's new breed of security threats make protecting data and minimizing downtime more important than ever. Without proper planning and precaution, an enterprise can experience disastrous security intrusions that can result in lost revenue and decreased productivity - not to mention identity and property theft. For an enterprise, assessing, planning, implementing and managing an infrastructure and security policy that can help prevent such disasters from occurring is critical.
MasStor Technologies provides a comprehensive set of defense-in-depth architectures and integrated solutions designed to prevent, detect and quickly respond to any form of security threat. Based on an open-architecture platform, these solutions enable an enterprise to pick and choose components that best suit its needs. This application brief will review defense-in-depth approaches and strategies for perimeter security, secure access and authorization and secure identity and authentication.
Due to the increase in blended threats and the dynamic nature of attacks, protecting part of the network is like not protecting the network at all - full coverage is a necessity. Full coverage consists of a firewall to monitor and filter network traffic, application proxies to provide control over specific protocols, an antivirus solution to protect against automated, self-propagating viruses and worms, a virtual private network to keep authorized users connected and a content filter to protect against liability issues. This new solution provides a single integrated view to Internet security threats so that Enterprises, Financial Services/Insurance, Government, Heathcare and Service Providers can respond faster and secure network resources more effectively.
Security Architect Service
As your organization evolves and new technologies emerge, it is important to keep pace with change and understand where all your threats and vulnerabilities lie. Developing a robust security architecture that effectively combats these issues is the foundation of your network. Through well-defined, highly evolved and flexible security architectures you can ensure that any changes are incorporated quickly and easily and your digital assets remain secure.
The Security Architect Service ensures that you have a partner who can help you meet the challenges of designing, developing and implementing a security infrastructure.
Firewall Managed Services
Firewalls are the foundation of an organization’s security infrastructure. However, it must be configured correctly, monitored and updated, otherwise attacks and unauthorized access from both inside and outside of your organization become more likely. A poorly configured firewall or rule base that is left unchanged over time can produce weaknesses and holes that can be exploited. Security is a specialized field, with new threats and vulnerabilities occurring daily it can be difficult to keep pace and ensure your defenses are robust enough to withstand attacks.
The Managed Firewall Service is a flexible, remote management service that delivers cost-effective protection without requiring in-house resources and expertise. The advanced firewall platform establishes the security best practices necessary to ensure a high level of network access and information availability with integrity and privacy.
24x7 monitoring provides immediate alerts and response to potential threats or service outages.
Vulnerability Assessment, Detection, Remediation and Prevention
Our Vulnerability Assessment Service provides remotely managed, scheduled or
on-demand security assessments of network perimeters and
web applications. The service uses a MasStor Technologies customized
toolset and market-leading products such as IBM
Rational AppScan to pinpoint vulnerabilities, assess relative risk,
recommend fixes and enable informed decisions for protecting critical online
information assets.
Managed IDS service
Implementing firewalls and other security technologies in conjunction with a solid security policy should form the foundations of your security infrastructure. However, no security infrastructure can be 100% secure and as connections on your network increase so does the risk of your network and valuable data being open to attack or compromise. The threats can originate both externally and internally within your organization, with individuals looking to exploit flaws in operating systems and penetrate security holes in firewalls and networks. Ensuring that you monitor who or what is accessing your network is vital to prevent unauthorized entry and deliberate attacks.
The Managed Intrusion Detection Service unobtrusively monitors network traffic for potential threats and prevents attacks or misuse from damaging critical online information resources. This comprehensive, managed 24 x 7 service protects networks, servers, applications and databases without requiring an extensive client investment in hardware, software and technical staff.
The service supplements firewall protection with cost-efficient intrusion detection and response. Based on award-winning Network Intrusion Detection technology, the service uses strategically placed sensors to monitor all network traffic leaving or entering the corporate network. MasStor Technologies security experts then use this information to rapidly identify potential threats and respond appropriately to minimize the risk.
