Web expansion raises risks along with benefits
Enterprises are taking advantage of Web-based technologies to extract every possible business benefit. In doing so, they’re also uncovering the risks inherent in providing external access to their networks and proprietary business content.
The opportunities presented by the Internet are limitless. Along with creating new sales channels and making it possible for employees to exchange information freely, the Internet enables e-transactions to flow across your organization and between you and your partners, vendors, and clients.
However, once linked to the Internet, or even intranets and extranets, your organization becomes accessible to a wider community, increasing its vulnerability to hazards associated with broad exposure. The additional entry points can make your organization susceptible to malicious intrusions, brand damage, and financial losses. And the threats don’t all come from outside. Your organization is also at risk from intentional employee attacks and unintentional mistakes.
As complex inter-organization systems grow, so does the intricacy of designing a comprehensive security solution. The cyber environment requires that organizations approach security on a variety of fronts, because no single technology can deliver complete assurance for the security of an entire information system. It’s clear that exploiting the Internet’s power, while protecting the security of networks and servers, as well as the integrity, confidentiality, and validity of business content and applications presents a serious challenge. Let Unisys help you meet that challenge.
We have built the Unisys Security Architecture as a framework to assist you in minimizing the risks associated with increased Internet accessibility so that you can realize the full potential of the Internet. The Unisys Security Architecture includes a selection of services that make up our Unisys Security Solutions
portfolio. Our holistic approach provides an integrated, total security solution from the creation of policies and standards through on-going security management.
Policies, Standards and Guidelines
A first-rate security system begins with well-structured security policies and processes to protect the critical information that drives your business. Unisys security consultants work with you to develop and implement information security policies that serve as the guide to protecting your information assets. Our experts evaluate your needs to establish standards that dictate specific technical requirements – for example, secure configuration standards for your operating systems, databases, and other software interfaces. We also provide guidelines to embed security measures throughout your entire infrastructure.
Network Infrastructure Security
One of the most essential requirements to maintain a robust and secure environment is keeping
unauthorized traffic from penetrating an enterprise network. Our Network Infrastructure Security Services provide firewall, switch, hub, and router configuration, designed to restrict network access to authorized traffic. We achieve this level of service while also maintaining the performance characteristics of your network. Our standard Network Infrastructure Security offering includes Security Assessments, Web Server Hardening, Demilitarized Zone Fortification, and Penetration Testing.
Server Infrastructure Security
At the server level, Unisys Server Infrastructure Security Services protect the operating systems essential to mission-critical e-business applications. Included in this offering are our Server Hardening Services, which remove non-required operating system capabilities. This, in turn, reduces the vulnerability of your server platforms. Additionally, these services assess whether system features are securely configured and installed. Unisys Server-based Intrusion Detection Services provide an additional measure of protection by identifying and rejecting transactions that appear suspicious or that would be unexpected under normal operating conditions.
Application Security
Because applications are the lifeblood of e-business, they must be highly secure and trustworthy. Unisys works with you to create an environment that safeguards the privacy, integrity, and validity of your applications. Unisys Application Security Services provide authentication and authorization within proprietary and custom applications. Likewise, we can safeguard software packages from leading providers such as Siebel, Ariba, and Intershop, as well as Unisys-developed applications.
Security Management
The Unisys Security Management offering comprises an integrated firewall, remote intrusion detection, and security management solution specifically designed for e-business environments. Our consultants will plan, build and configure your mission-critical firewall environment. Through the Unisys Security Command Center (SCC), a state-of-the-art security and network management facility, we can remotely monitor and support your firewalls and intrusion detection systems. The Unisys SCC is certified as a Managed Firewall Provider by TruSecure Corporation, the leading Internet security assurance company.
Proven performance
Each of the services within the Unisys Security Solutions portfolio is based on the knowledge we’ve developed providing security solutions to commercial and public sector clients over many years. We also draw on our expertise in designing and installing global networks, which deepens our security experts’ understanding of where and how networks can be penetrated. To ensure that our security consultants remain up-to-date on Microsoft and UNIX operating systems, as well as other operating platforms, they receive ongoing technical training. In fact, Unisys security consultants have earned technical certifications from top manufacturers such as Cisco Systems, Checkpoint, Microsoft, and ISS, among others.
