Infrastructure protection

Cyber threats lack distinct borders and the tactics and technologies are constantly evolving. Therefore, a breach of information, infrastructure security issues and system failures lead to significant financial and reputational loses to organizations. A lack of security can give users and attackers unauthorized access to enterprise resource within the network where they can install malware and other malicious tools that can impact the business.

Why infrastructure protection? 

Infrastructure protection is about securing critical business application infrastructure and protecting technology, systems and business assets. The systems can range from internet connection either wired or wireless networks, hybrid integrated on premises, cloud solutions, servers, endpoints, software for maintaining and accessing critical data.

Without proper understanding of the design and security architecture, threats against the business will be difficult to detect. Infrastructure protection provides visibility on threats to your technology infrastructure that might cause disruption to your business such as:

• Weaknesses in infrastructure design and security architecture
• Presence of Malware, spyware and ransomwares
• Indicators of compromises within the infrastructure 
• Traffic inspection and defining the appropriate access control
• Risk of threat actors being able to gain access to internal resources
• Threat actors trying to exploit vulnerabilities on publicly accessible services, for example corporate websites, email or remote access.
• Can Legacy hardware and software, introduce vulnerabilities into critical systems

Safe harbour:

• Knowledge of firewall services and protocols allowed and blocked 
• Well categorised traffic inspection by IPS/IDS appliance
• Filtered content and file classification
• Alert when services are under attack from an external source
• Business-critical machines are physically inaccessible to most employees
• Corporate owned devices, if stolen or lost, does not reveal sensitive data
• In case of failure in business-critical systems operations can continue within a short period of time

If you do not fulfil the above bullet points your infrastructure might be at risk. Our security assessment can help bring clarity to your infrastructure protection. Contact us for more information.
