Network Security

A Unified Approach to Threat Management

As communication becomes more mobile, Internet-based and collaborative network connectivity also creates numerous security risks and business challenges— including complying with regulatory requirements, preventing data loss from within, as well as blocking malware and external intrusions. As a result, organizations must develop new capabilities for controlling the kinds of information traveling across their network, how that information is used, and who has access to it. On top of that, organizations not only face the challenge of implementing the right security solutions, but of staying ahead of security threats as the network continuously evolves with business needs.

To effectively defend themselves, organizations need security solutions that combine best-of-breed products along with the ability to plan, design, integrate and operate their capabilities within a dynamic network environment. Advanced Network Systems provides comprehensive threat management solutions that defend your network against an ever-changing multitude of pervasive threats. Our security product portfolio, along with expert assessment, integration and managed security services, ensure the best defenses are continually in place to support the way you do business.

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)

Today, organizations face the challenge of protecting their networks against new waves of attacks that strike with increasing complexity and capability. In addition, the sheer number of new applications, combined with multiple attack points and exploitation of common protocols leave many IT managers struggling to keep up. As a result, the wide and growing range of threats require a multi-layered defense— where actually preventing IT system attacks, rather than simply detecting them, becomes vital. Intrusion Prevention Solutions (IPS) work in conjunction with traditional security solutions like firewalls and antivirus software to provide precise, real-time attack mitigation and detailed forensic analysis, all while allowing good network traffic to pass unimpeded. Advanced Network Systems’ IPS technology solutions offer a higher level of proactive, zero-day attack prevention as well as deeper insight into the activities and operation of your network.

Antivirus Solution

E-mail and Internet use are now a part of daily life. And with them come the infiltration of viruses, worms, hacker attacks and other cyber threats to your network. Malware spreading throughout the Internet, hackers stealing confidential data, and mailboxes flooded with spam are the price we pay for our culture of computing convenience. The good news is that as cyber threats have evolved, so has software to deflect them. Next generation antispyware and antivirus solutions capable of detecting and protecting the most complex new viruses are now available. Advanced Network Systems’ team of security experts can help you identify unprotected systems on your network, deploy and maintain anti-virus/anti-malware products, as well as implement the right security policies. We help keep your security posture strong in the face of a constantly changing landscape of ever evolving threats.

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)

Today's workforce is more mobile than ever – demanding access to a wide variety of business applications and systems from increasingly diverse devices and locations. IT departments must find more efficient, effective ways to satisfy ever-changing connectivity needs. Moreover, they must do so without exposing corporate assets to malware or breach, all while maintaining the control and visibility mandated by industry regulations and privacy laws. Virtual Private Networking (VPN) enables businesses to deliver secure, encrypted connectivity for traveling employees, remote offices, and telecommuters who require access to critical corporate network resources, including email, network drives and intranet resources. Whether your organization needs secure connectivity between geographically separated offices or to provide telecommuters and traveling employees access to the corporate network, Advanced Network Systems’ VPN solutions solve the challenges of keeping all users productive — anywhere, anytime.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

More than ever, organizations are burdened with the need to protect the confidential information that resides on and travels across their network. Yet despite heightened awareness and increased regulations, serious data breaches continue to happen on a daily basis. Whether intentional or unintentional, data breaches end up costing millions of dollars annually in compliance and legal penalties, failed security audits, irreparable brand damage and lost customers. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions allow companies to effectively discover, monitor, control and secure their sensitive data, both on the network, as it is used on desktops or laptops, and residing on end user systems and servers. Whether your data is intellectual property, personal, medical or financial information, Advanced Network Systems has a complete, cost-effective DLP solution to protect companies of any size.

Firewall Solution

If your business is connected to the Internet, installing a firewall is the most effective and important fundamental step you can take to help protect your network. Firewall security blocks certain kinds of network traffic, forming a barrier between trusted and untrusted networks. It protects against malicious users, viruses, and worms that try to access your network. A firewall can also hide information about your LAN from the Internet, as well as log traffic to and from the local network. Advanced Network Systems can help you choose a next generation threat management solution that provides all the powerful, multi-layered protection and ease of management your organization needs.
