Network Security

One of our primary goals of every project is Layered Security. As we develop a solution, we ensure that the network, the server, and finally the web application comply with, and in many cases, exceed industry best practices.

There are many providers of functional solutions out there, but when the requirements call for a secure implementation, the field of providers narrows greatly-we proudly consider ourselves to be in that narrowed group.

NetShapers® Frontdoor Firewall

We supply network security services using our NetShapers FrontDoor Firewall. It is a fully customizable stateful firewall using technologies such as Network Address Translation, Transparent HTTP proxy, DHCP, and Virtual Private Networking including "roamer" access. It is designed to be an all-inclusive Network Security tool to help us manage the network security of small to mid-size businesses. We manage the box remotely, so there is no need for you or your staff to worry about keeping your network secure-we take care of it for you.

FrontDoor Firewall Features:
The FrontDoor Firewall product differentiates itself from its every major competitor by being the only true customized solution. It was developed and tested over the course of two years to become a toolbox of network security features. This toolbox then allows us to build up a network defense system from scratch with a default deny all rule, therefore, we only open up the ports we use, instead of starting off with an initially open configuration and closing off ports that we do not use. Following the rule of Security through Obscurity, which states that a system’s popularity is directly proportional to its network security vulnerability, our system’s level of penetrability is next to 0%, since our system is customized down to the OS level for nearly each installation.

Quadruple pass-through rule processing – any traffic going in/out of the firewall is evaluated four distinct times against four distinct rule sets, which allows a greater level of granular control within a network

Full stateful packet filter operation, including statefulness support for the ICMP and UDP protocols (allows for a wider range of network cloaking options)

"Smart" NAT (Network Address Translation) – conditional bi-directional NAT adds yet another layer of security to the system by masquerading IP addresses

Transparent HTTP proxy – allows for specific control of web-based content available to your employees

Denial Of Service protection – custom code within the OS slows down the packet response rate to suspected hosts, therefore preventing the attack from causing link saturation

Digital Certificate based Secure Remote Management interface – allows for quicker response times and lower maintenance costs

Guaranteed 4 hour response times on "network-down" emergencies, maximum 4 hour response times on others (usually less than 15 minutes)

Industry Standard IPSEC compliant VPN module – with encryption key strengths of up to 2048 bits, and support for the latest encryption algorithms, including Blowfish and Rjandel, cracking the code becomes a next to impossible task.

Roaming Dialup Client VPN capabilities – as log as the user has access to the internet, a secure VPN connection can be established with the main office.
