Dallas Data Center

In a perfect world, the only people who are accessing your network are people you know and trust. You may want vendors and clients to have access to your network. You most likely want remote users to have access to your network. But what about hackers who try to see what they can do to your network?  How do you tell the difference between legitimate and illegitimate access? Dallas Data Center’s Security Solutions will inspect all inbound and outbound network activity and identify suspicious patterns that may indicate a network or system attack from someone attempting to break into or compromise your system.

DDC’s Security Solutions protect your systems in the following areas:

Network Security

IDS (Intrusion Detection System) Services

A network intrusion is an attack that comes from outside your network, usually across the internet. Intrusion detection systems and intrusion prevention systems (IDS/IDP) are important elements in any network security plan. A dedicated IDS/IDP device can detect a much broader range of malicious activities than those built into most firewalls.

Server Security

OS Hardening

Out of the box, nearly all operating systems are configured insecurely. Dallas Data Center minimizes a computer's exposure to current and future threats by fully configuring the operating system and removing unnecessary applications. Our tech support team constantly configures your system and network components properly, deleting unused files and applying the latest patches.

Procedure:

• Follow a CIS Benchmark
• Disable or restrict services
• Configure periodic automatic updates
• Install CSUSB Root Certificate

HIDS (Host Intrusion Detection)

HIDS will analyze network traffic destined for the installed host. Like a network IDS, a HIDS can sniff packets on a network segment, but a HIDS is more adept at monitoring the local system for changes (e.g., system registry edits, crucial DLL modifications, etc.). HIDS is designed for a particular OS platform and monitors specific types of servers (e.g., Web, email, file, etc.).
