C5i's certified network and security engineers are experts in the installation, management, and protection of complex networks, whether they're in an office or on the battlefield. C5i's Network Security Engineering services include:
Installation and Configuration
Even the simplest networks can be difficult to install and configure correctly, especially if you want to ensure that they are secure. C5i network and security engineers can install and configure network components on a wide variety of platforms, such as Windows, UNIX, Linux, etc.
If your users are mobile and need to access your systems from a distance, C5i engineers can provide secure access to your network and applications by installing remote access hardware and software. C5i can provide a virtual private network (VPN) that uses secure tunneling protocols such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) protocols.
Infrastructure Monitoring and Management/Intrusion Detection
Once you've installed your network, keeping it running smoothly can be an equally huge challenge. And even though your network administrators can tell whether the network is up or down, can they tell if someone has infiltrated the network or compromised your system or data?
C5i network and security engineers are experts in all facets of network management, especially network security. We can monitor your network for potential problems and threats and often identify them in real-time.
Patch Management
One of the most effective, but often overlooked, ways to protect your systems and networks is to apply the patches and updates that software and hardware vendors regularly release. As hackers and cyberterrorists find new ways to break into your networks, you can make sure you stay protected by applying those security updates.
But keeping up with the myriad of potential exploits and subsequent patches can be a full-time job. That's why many organizations look to C5i for their patch management tasks. Our network engineers and security experts continuously monitor the threat landscape - identifying the most lethal threats, gathering the latest patches, and installing and configuring the patches on the applicable customer systems.
Help Desk/Incident Response Support
C5i help desk and security experts provide exceptional desktop support and network troubleshooting for government IT security organizations. C5i help desk support personnel are trained and certified in a wide variety of software and hardware technology and can provide expert phone support as well as problem prioritization and escalation.
We can even provide a fully supported call center to support your computer or communications operations.
C5i's Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) is comprised of highly skilled security and network engineers who follow a comprehensive process for reviewing and responding to computer security incidents and activity. The C5i CSIRT can perform both proactively as well as reactively help protect your mission-critical assets.
A Proactive Approach (the best defense is a good offense)
C5i's Network and Security Solutions can also be provided as a managed service, providing your network with continuous, around-the-clock monitoring and management. Click here for more information about C5i's managed services.
