Security

Firewalls

Well designed and effective security architecture must have the ability to change. New security threats, new technologies, new organizational structures all play a major role in today's Internet driven economy.

Effective security begins with a solid foundation. Jade's team of specialists can evaluate your present state of security and establish a framework to meet your needs now and into the future. Along with your team Jade can evaluate your current firewall, intrusion detection, content filter, along with various levels of security policies including risk assessment, antivirus, encryption, VPN, physical security, and more.

Our team specializes in installing and configuring firewalls to meet our client's needs. Our focus is to make a firewall secure yet easy to manage. The current list of firewalls that we install and configure is:

• Cisco Pix
• Symantec Gateways and Appliances
• Checkpoint Firewall-1/NG
• Network Associates Guantlet

We provide a detailed report on how the firewall was configured and our recommendations on how to manage it. Training for your security team can also be arranged.

With Jade's security services you can rely on our product knowledge and expertise to develop a clear roadmap for your security project and provide the oversight to design, implement, and manage your enterprise environment.

Security Analysis

Jade has a simple philosophy when it comes to security analysis: Paranoia is good. The world really is out to get you. Your carefully crafted e-business site is the target of an attack from a wide range of intruders from script-kiddiez with delusions of grandeur to legitimate saboteurs and industrial spies. Don't make their job any easier than it already is. Security is not a product, it is a discipline and mindset backed up by a comprehensive suite of services. The best technology in the world is useless if your staff doesn't understand it's purpose or monitor it's log files.

Security extends beyond the firewall. Don't fall into the "firewall trap." A well configured robust firewall should be a component of a security architecture, but not the end result. You need to understand how to intelligently deploy a multilevel security infrastructure and integrate it into your overall business initiatives. Security is not an afterthought. Too many developers and systems integrators treat security as an optional component that gets tacked on at the end of the cycle prior to final deployment to production. This is a fatal flaw in today's e-commerce marketplace. Security starts with your applications. Design your applications with security in mind from the beginning. A relatively small amount of effort spent in the beginning of a product's cycle yields tremendous long-term benefits. The most advanced security programs on the planet can be obviated by poor coding practices.
