Firewall

Protect your information and confidential data.

Information security has been on the agenda of the most diverse studies these days, especially when we think about the high number of attacks that have been taking place. Knowing this, companies tend to seek increasingly effective solutions to protect their confidential information and data. One of the main security barriers, and also one of the most effective, is the so-called firewall, which can be installed in different sectors of the systems and help to combat intrusions. Because of this, having a good firewall installed is an extra guarantee of security and difficulties for a possible attacker. To better understand our services and the benefits offered, let's quickly summarize what this technology is.

What is Firewall ?

The firewall is a system or device responsible for monitoring the entry and exit of a network, performing a kind of evaluation to let or not enter the main network. In general, it can act to evaluate each request received or in a specific way. When it acts in a more targeted way, it is usually linked to a series of rules and is used together with other systems and other security devices. Altogether, the firewall has been in operation for almost 30 years and remains one of the most effective solutions in the world. Because it has such a strong performance, it is possible to identify a series of types of firewall, especially when planning something more aimed at protecting a certain vulnerability. Many people believe that the firewall is just a system, a piece of software. However, currently, it is already possible to use it in several ways, including as hardware.

How it works

Knowing the importance of a firewall, we prepared a complete cycle service, that is, with monitoring from start to finish of what we understand to be the system installation cycle. To do this, we follow a few steps:

  • Diagnosis

    In the diagnostic part, we will analyze all the vulnerabilities that your company may have with regard to systems, services and servers. With this, it is possible to identify not only where the points of improvement are, but also to know which types of firewall would best suit your reality. Although the firewall is universal and works for everyone, its implementation will depend directly on the system you want to protect. That is, while company X protects its web server, in company Y it can be a barrier to the database.

  • Implementation

    During the implementation, the actual installation of the firewall in the business systems takes place, including adapting possible technologies so that the process occurs correctly. At this stage, the entire process is closely monitored, and you will be aware of everything that is being done to complete it. In addition, we also present our work plan, that is, everything is installed on your systems after prior authorization.

  • Management

    Once installed, the firewall needs to be managed, that is, closely monitor its results and what it can say about that service itself. For example, you can find out how your rejection rate is and the reasons for it. Managing this application is directly linked to performance reports and results obtained. Thus, it is possible to follow and understand the next steps. Furthermore, it is in the management stage that it is possible to determine if the location was strategically chosen and if it is giving the expected results. In this way, it is possible to make changes or plan new action strategies.

  • Maintenance

    Despite being a system that works alone and is sufficient, like any application, it is necessary to carry out some negotiations to maintain its operation. That's why we run all this part to make sure the application is working properly.

Efficient backup policy

Security policies are a fundamental part of any company, in addition, having a consolidated data protection strategy can help a lot in the confidence of customers and professionals. With that in mind, we offer a complete service for efficiently creating a backup policy, bringing to the company everything necessary to act more securely and protect the necessary data. But what is a backup conceptually? What are the advantages of a backup policy and how can this service be performed? Below we will discuss more about the topics, exemplifying everyday situations that may occur in case of non-existence of this policy. In addition, we will demonstrate a little more how a backup service can work and how it helps your company in its daily tasks, including in a legal sense.

What is backup?

Conceptually speaking, backup is nothing more than an activity, or a set of activities that are carried out in order to generate copies of data elsewhere. For example, copying data from your computer to an external hard drive. The backup is exactly this transfer, but also the specific objective behind the action, in this case, being able to recover that same data in case of loss, theft, or problems in the original storage system. The options for storage are quite wide, ranging from the external HD, as we mentioned, to DVDs, pendrives, and the most used solution today, which is the cloud. In practice, of all these, the cloud is the one that most manages to fulfill the objective of the action.

How it works

For a company, just performing a sporadic backup is not enough, and may even cause several conflicts such as data loss or information inconsistencies. Therefore, the ideal thing is for the company to establish a backup policy. The policy will deal with several points, such as, for example, defining the type of backup for each situation, in addition to the ideal frequency for each case. In addition, it is also possible to determine where this data will be stored. Our service deals directly with this, not only performing specific and defined backups, but also setting up an efficient policy. As a result, your company now operates with the security of having an official document in hand that ensures security practices. Another great advantage of having an established policy is being able to determine possible responsible for each area and each chosen task. In this way, it is easier to map actions and activities.

Why have a backup?

It may seem ineffective at first, but having a simple copy of your main files is a really efficient way to have greater security. Imagine, for example, a company machine burns out or simply has server problems, how is all the data stored locally? In addition, there may still be various natural disasters and force majeure situations that make it impossible for the company to take any action. In addition, backup is also a way to guarantee one of the pillars of information security, availability. After all, you can explain to your client that he suffered an attack, but how do you explain that you didn't have a single backup of his data to be able to present? Backup helps not only with security, but with your company's own reputation and the trust of your customers. Therefore, it must be taken seriously as a constant policy that goes according to what is established in the basic principles.

Save information

is essential for the full exercise of administrative functions

Storing information and having more space on servers is a routine for all companies, since inevitably growing means generating more information without being able to leave the old ones behind. In this sense, having a place to store this information is essential for the full exercise of administrative functions. So today we are going to talk about our storage service. Adhering to storage becomes almost a survival for large companies, especially when we talk about not losing information and preserving their integrity. Remember that information security is a pillar for operation today.

What is a storage?

Storage is nothing more than a company's data and information storage, whether on the network or locally. Even so, it is still possible to be used for other functions, such as, for example, a backup source. Despite having other variations as well, storage is primarily used to increase the storage capacity of servers. It is understood the increase in capacity both to store more data and to optimize the processing of these servers. It is important to remember that memory is one of the main points of a server, and can determine its operation and processing speed.

Formats

With a very broad concept, storage presents some types, dividing its characteristics into large groups and establishing some criteria for use.

  • DAS - Direct Attached Storage

    A device connected to computers and works as an addition to space, an extension. With that, it is even used to optimize applications, as it increases space and helps to have more usability. DAS also allows for backups and is widely used for large volumes of information. Because it is directly connected to the machine, the DAS can only be used by one user at a time.

  • NAS - Network Attached Storage

    Connected directly to the network and works almost as a separate system. In part, it is an operating system and is used as its own server. As for its use, it can be seen as a data manager, and can be used by several people, precisely because it is on the network, facilitating information management.

  • SAN - Storage Area Network

    Dedicated storage networks, that is, they are directly connected to the network and have a better performance than the NAS. Naturally, it turns out to be one of the best options for any company. Its security is far superior to other models, in addition to having a faster speed.

Ideal model for your business

Choosing the type of storage and how it will be used within your company's process is an important task, which is why we do it with the necessary care to ensure it works. In practice, the first step is to understand the storage purpose your company is looking for. After all, as we have seen, a type can be more suitable for some functions than others, or even offer a better result just by its operating model. In this way, it is also necessary to have an idea of ​​the necessary capacity, that is, how much your company intends to direct to it and how much your total load should be to handle this redirection.

The time needed and expected to process the data is also an important issue, as it directly influences the optimization aspect. Finally, we also analyze security and what level it is for the data that will be stored. Some data depends on more effective and calculated security, while others can be safe with less need for storage.
