Damovo In Network Security

Securing the network is one of the most challenging tasks that your IT team undertakes. Installing a firewall and some anti-virus software used to be sufficient to keep your information safe from hackers, but threats have now evolved dramatically. Many attacks pass straight through traditional defences, for example by masquerading as legitimate web traffic.

What used to be best practice is no longer good enough. Hackers are far more sophisticated than they used to be, so whilst firewalls and anti-virus software are still necessary, they are no longer sufficient.

Damovo approaches the security of your network in a number of ways:

Security policy

We start by helping you to develop a security policy or to refine an existing one. Network security is a trade-off between risk, access to information and cost. So it is essential that we have a common understanding of appropriate protection levels.

Vulnerability assessment

Unknown, un-patched or rogue devices on networks are all too common, and they undermine the effort that has been made to secure it. We can fully audit your network and provide a ‘threat profile’ which indicates how secure your devices are. This is especially valuable if you have to comply with security-related legislation.

We employ a variety of techniques, from using regular automated scans to running penetration tests by either CISSP or CESG CHECK accredited personnel.

Secure access

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) enable you to securely connect your remote offices and staff to the IT systems at your main office. The use of VPNs for secure remote access enables flexible working patterns which improve work-life balance, reduce your overall environmental impact and use less office space, which also saves costs.

Voice Firewall

This provides visibility and control of all your voice trunks and call activity, whether TDM or VoIP, enforcing predefined access and usage policies. These detect voice service disruption and abuse, toll fraud, unauthorised network access and usage, and other restricted call traffic - as well as blocking internal and external attacks over phone lines.
