With
the wide range of expansion of networking, be it any field
of business operations, or defense of the country no IT
organization can afford to be without high caliber and proactive
security, monitoring and management capability. In the recent
times within a short span the influence of networking has
grown leaps and bounds resulting in virtual dependence of
whole corporate world. This web-based technology has greatly
improved the business efficiency by enhancement of communication
skill with the customer. This has also brought along-with
it the new dimensions of threat to the security of the confidential
data of an organization.Computer security comprises of all
the methods and procedures which assure that data entered
into a computer today will be retrievable at a later time
by, and only by, those authorized to do so. In most computers,
security systems are installed, keeping in mind the cost
in system performance, ease of use, complexity and management
time. In today's competitive world every organization need
to safe guard its precious information resources so as to
reduce risk factors to a ground level.In a recently conducted
survey, a fact has been established that more than seventy
percent security threats that an organization faces are
from inside. The "Vulnerability" of your network
and hence the confidential data has increased. The level
of security implemented depends on how crucial the data
is, how vulnerable is the system to security threats.We
in VIBRA have studied these requirements of customers deeply
and found that security measures implemented in an organization
with respect to LAN and WAN need to be implemented as per
the security needs and the concept of "Plug & Play",
as promoted by vendors generally, should not be applied.
Moreover, regular up-dating of security measures at short
intervals is necessary. This is where consultants like VIBRA
come in picture.
Digital
economy demands computerizing and networking all your
operating resources. VC's with their associates in-depth
knowledge, expertise, and experience in setting up networking
infrastructure and its management, would take care of
the entire gamut - managing your systems, database, applications
and your Internet infrastructure, using sophisticated
software. You can also take help of our Remote Network
Management Services or the on-site consultancy services
to set up your own Network Operations Center.
We recommends
that:
The organisation should
develop a robust set of security policies and
procedures to minimise information security risks.
Senior management should
commit to protecting the information assets of
the organisation by playing a leading role in
adopting and enforcing security policy and reviewing
security preparedness on a periodic basis
Users should be made
better aware of the safe practices for using the
IT resources of the organisation.
Secure network architecture
should be designed with strong access control
policies enforced between network segments.
The server and network
administrators should afford high priority to
fixing the vulnerabilities and holes in the servers
and network devices. [The list of these vulnerabilities
with their fixes are presented as appendices in
this report]
Insecure configurations
settings of servers and network devices should
be tightened to safeguard these critical resources.
[The list of unsafe settings and their appropriate
values are discussed in the appendices of this
report]
Security best practices
in administering network and servers should be
developed and their compliance should be monitored.
