Network Audit Services:

IrisLogic SecurNet Audit Services are an essential procedure for every organization in order to accurately collect conclusive information about the vulnerabilities of a network and provide effective solutions. However, before beginning a security audit, IT managers must first define the reasons for implementing risk management to help determine the objectives for the organization. The objectives should always keep in mind the basic tenet of risk management: create a positive impact on the bottom line.

SecurNet Audits are performed on-site and consist of six essential phases:

• External Security AssessmentEvery network must be protected from external attacks. IrisLogic’s first audit phase determines the viability of existing hardware in preventing attacks such as denial of service, IP spoofing, ping of death, routing redirection, and so on. State-of-the-art security tools and scripts are used in a concerted effort to attack existing network firewalls to discover every possible external security vulnerability.
• Network AnalysisNetworks can be viewed as complex engines, but often a single point or area of failure is to blame for poor network performance. IrisLogic’s comprehensive Network Analysis delves deeply into the customer’s network topology to determine the quality and effectiveness of the current network technologies. Documentation provides a detailed analysis of existing network problems.
• Host AnalysisCritical servers or identified hosts on the network are inspected for possible security failures. In this phase, IrisLogic uses sophisticated host scanners to inspect the servers, determine what services the hosts are running, and identify levels of patch revisions, file permissions, password files, and so on.
• Threat AnalysisThreat analysis plays an important role in building an effective security policy. IrisLogic takes a holistic approach, using industry research, trends in criminal activity and regulatory measures, and changes in technology as our knowledge base. Armed with cutting-edge knowledge, we can accurately assess a customer’s vulnerability to an outside attack.
• Policy AnalysisThe next phase in building an effective security policy is to carefully analyze the existing corporate security policy. Employees are interviewed to determine policy awareness and adherence, while existing policy documents are reviewed for content. Through this process, implied, official, and unofficial risks are brought forward and reconciled with the Threat Analysis. The production of a new or revised security policy completes the phase.
• Audit Report & RecommendationsWhen all the necessary data have been collected from the previous five phases, a report is provided to management, as well as an oral presentation to company personnel. The Audit Report details the issues involved with security architecture, network topology, risks, and policies. Finally, recommended solutions are outlined, which include a timeline and projected costs.

Considerations

For Internet mail servers, a very important factor is the support of standards. The major protocols are SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for outgoing mail and POP3 (Post Office Protocol) for incoming mail. A more recent protocol is IMAP4 (Internet Messaging Access Protocol), which offers a number of important features, including user management of mail on the server. Other Internet protocols include ESMTP (Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), APOP (Authenticated Post Office Protocol), MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), and Ph (Directory Access protocol). Many mail servers are also adding S/MIME, SSL, or RSA support (for message encryption) and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) support (for accessing operating system directory information about mail users). In general, the more standards a server supports, the better.

Due to the increasing volume of e-mail traffic, the scalability of a mail server for an organization can be a major issue. It is also important because mail server products tend to differentiate themselves by the message volume of their target customer and the number of e-mail accounts they support. Some are intended for corporate and enterprise e-mail, often processing millions of messages in a short period of time and providing accounts for more than 100,000 users, while others target small businesses that may handle only a few thousand messages per week and support less than 100 users.

The highly-publicized viruses that attack via mail clients have put the spotlight on e-mail as a major point of vulnerability in an enterprise’s firewall. In response, mail server vendors (along with major client vendors) have begun producing add-ons and built-in features that help to scan e-mail, segregate questionable messages, and deal with viruses and spam mail. As might be expected, this is a rapidly expanding element of e-mail servers and should be considered important when comparing products.

E-mail servers are also know to rank high in installation and management difficulty. That’s because they are tied to inherently variable source (Internet connection and e-mail traffic) and because they require constant attention to user lists, user rights, and message storage. Thus, it’s important to look for servers that provide a certain modicum of ease of use. A GUI interface is nice, but it is not necessarily the route to easy administration. The type of interface is often related to the user’s platform / operating system, and it is important to keep in mind that many products are intended to run solely on a single platform, such as Unix or Windows.

Proxy Server Services:

A proxy server is an intermediary between a workstation user and the Internet to ensure security and provide administrative control & caching service. A proxy server is associated with or part of a gateway server that separates the enterprise network from the outside network and a firewall server that protects the enterprise network from intrusion.

IrisLogic offers consulting and implementation services to provide you with an ideal SecurNet Proxy Server solution delivered within budget and on time. IrisLogic offers the following proxy server products:

• Microsoft Proxy Server
• Squid Proxy Server
• Surfwatch URL Filtering

Features

Organizations can reduce network traffic and user wait times by using Proxy Server to distribute and manage information. Proxy Server caches frequently accessed documents automatically and requests data from its source only when that source has been updated or has expired, which reduces network traffic and gives users access to fresh content without the wait.

Organizations can configure arrays of proxies for better scalability and reliability. Proxy arrays enable distributed caching for efficient load balancing and fault tolerance.

Increase network security and user productivity by filtering content and controlling both internal and external access to information. Proxy Server lets administrators limit access to objectionable content at the Internet gateway by filtering URLs, content such as viruses and HTML tags, and content types such as ActiveX.

Proxy Server makes it easy for administrators to manage intelligent networks of proxies. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support eases user and group management in a distributed environment.
