Network Infrastructure
Designing and maintaining a network infrastructure can be a challenging and complex process. When it is time to expand the network, replace old equipment, or add new technologies many organizations find they lack the time, staff and/or expertise to properly execute. CipherEx’s team can help. We want to help you create an optimal network infrastructure that is accessible and secure. A data center designed with a focus on flexibility and growth to accommodate the present and future needs of your organization.
At CipherEx, our team is highly specialized in network design and implementation. We focus on enhancing efficiency, improving security, and flexibility in design that allows for growth and improvement with a low impact on resources and network “up-time
We offer specialized tools for design and validation of your network including
- Ixchariot (Ixia)
- NetBrain (Network Diagram and Flow)
- AirMagnet Survey PRO
- SteelCentral NetPlanner (Riverbed)
- Tenable Network Security Scanner
- AlgoSec (Firewall Optimization)
We provide stability and flexibility in design that will allow you to plug in your server anywhere and function properly regardless of its location. These issues disappear with next generation data
centers utilizing Software Defined Networking (SDN).
Networks are unique and consequently so are each of our customers’ needs.With this in mind, we strive towards catering to your company’s unique network and needs.
Advantages of Infrastructure Design
- Features a hierarchical design
- Reduces network complexity
- Enhances network security, availability, and reliability
- Improves fault isolation
Redundancy and High Availability
Deploying and maintaining a network environment, that requires nonstop availability, is critical to business success today. We strive to reduce network complexity and increase network availability.
Network applications must cross various network segments starting from the Enterprise Backbone to the Enterprise Edge and back. All segments of the network must be resilient and recover promptly. Thus, allowing for faults to be transparent to users and network applications. A failure detected anywhere in the network can result in termination, interruption or violation of service-level agreements for business-critical applications. Such applications include Voice, E-commerce, Storage-area networking, Work-Flow, Trading and Point of Sales.
We offer a resilient network design which enables network-wide protection.This is done by providing fast recovery from faults that may occur in any part of the network.
Network Cabling and Organization
Network cables can be a nightmare if they are not organized. CipherEx has successfully completed several cable organization projects. If your organization is in need of these services or any other services we offer, please contact us at sales@CipherEx.com. We look forward to making your life easier!
Firewall & Secure Communication
Firewall Audits and Optimization
Firewall configuration has become more challenging as more network-based services are added, along with an increasing number of protocols that need to flow through the firewall. This complexity often leads to incomplete or bad configurations that impose a threat to an organization’s security.
Secure Client VPN Access
For efficiency and productivity many organizations utilize remote access VPN. A VPN must be secure and user friendly to ensure proper connectivity and usablility.
Secure Partner and Vendor Connections
As companies rely more heavily on their networks for online and business to business (B2B) transactions, network security becomes increasingly important. How much network access a company gives to its partners or suppliers, along with the security and data-recovery strategies of the partners, will affect the company’s risk level. When you integrate your network with the networks of other companies, whatever happens to them can also happen to you.
Security risks from B2B transactions often relate to privacy, which includes protecting credit-card information and other data from outsiders. Authentication and access are paramount concerns. It is critical for companies to verify that the people with whom they are transacting business are the people they claim to be and that their level of access is appropriate.
Firewall Audits
Do you feel like your firewall rules are out of order?
Do you have too many rules and are they too complex? Not sure what’s going
on?
We have specialized tools we can use to solve these issues and optimize rules offline. Whether you have 10 rules or 1,000, they will be optimized in sequence reflecting your unique traffic needs and patterns. Companies are usually concerned with incoming traffic and are not watching another threat–outbound traffic. Threats often come from within your network and data breaches often come from within your organization.
So how do you protect your organization from internal threats? Next generation firewalls have capabilities, such as URL filtering, along with blocking known malware sites to protect employees and the organization as a whole from data breaches.
CipherEx uses specialized tools that analyze and optimize firewall policies to reduce risk and optimize firewall performance. Firewall rules are copied and analyzed offline with no packet transmission, reducing risk and improving change management.
Firewall Policy Optimization
Firewalls work more efficiently and are easier to manage when the policies are uncluttered and free of unused rules and objects. CipherEx engineers will help you to optimize rules and will point out possible security holes and threats in an easy-to-understand report.
Network assessment
is Your Network Up To Speed?
CipherEx utilizes specialized tools that allow us to dig deeper and better understand your network behavior.
A deficiency in your network infrastructure design and configuration can lead to unstable and erratic network behavior. Our network assessment provides you with a clear depiction of your network infrastructure which highlights key design shortcomings and miss-configurations that can often lead to frequent unexpected outages.
We will work with your team to understand your environment, its applications and business needs. A deep dive allows us to gain in-depth insight into the type of network traffic that is flowing through a network. If necessary, we will model your network, build a virtual environment and perform a, “what-if analysis,” in order to locate the source of the issues that your organization is facing. We look for security flaws in the design and configurations that can lead to a compromise.
We will work with your team and provide you with a detailed report along with directions on how to remove security issues or design flaws.
Network Infrastructure Hardening
Are you worried about your infrastructure and its security configuration?
Correct device configurations alone are insufficient in securing a network infrastructure from attacks.
In addition to the initial configurations, the process of hardening is necessary to secure networks. Hardening includes steps to stop and remove unused services. Hardening standards need to be developed for each device based on its function and placement in the network. For example, an Internet facing switch is hardened differently than a user switch. Although these devices might be identical in every way, the hardening standard will be considerably different.
Moreover, operational procedures are essential to keep the standard and configurations current. CipherEx engineers will work with your team to create all necessary standards and procedures. As a result of the developed standards, hardened configurations will be produced for each network device which will improve your network security stance.
