Adage Network's professional
practice in Security utilizes best of breed and proven methodologies
in our approach to protecting our client's digital assets.
Cyber security is an important part of Adage's ultimate goal
in optimizing and managing the corporate, institutional, and
government network infrastructures. Our methodology takes
the initiative away from the threat and empowers the IT Security
Staff to proactively monitor and manage the network in real
time. The responsibility for corporate and client data from
internal abuse and outside attacks, represents not only an
IT problem but more importantly a business problem.
Adage Networks can help with the summation of security audits
and written security policies. We do not recommend the deployment
of any networking technology without the associated security
policy in place. The various areas of need will vary between
clients but for customized threat mitigation the security
policy may include:
- Industry Best Practice and Policies
- Network Risk Analysis
- Detailed External Audit Review
- Action Plans for Problem Resolution
- Guidelines for "Access as Secure as Possible"
- Detailed and Written Security objectives and thresholds
Security Audits vary from network to network. Adage uses
commercial tools as well as "White Hat" hacking
practices to determine where the corporate vulnerabilities
are in the network. Depending on the complexity of the network
and the liability for infrastructure breaches, the audits
may include:
- External Firewall Penetration
- Email and Web server Denial of Service Attacks
- Secure Identification and Access Testing
- Wireless MAN in the Middle Attacks
- Vulnerability assessments.
Once the written security policy is in place, and the audit
has been completed, then it is time to lock down the network
and the corporate data. Adage’s methodology encompasses
the entire network and ensnares each vulnerable point with
the tentacles of central security frame work architecture
Adage builds efficiencies and ROI into an IT function. The
top down approach builds on Adage Network's historic leadership
in the Network Management space. Through a central management
console we can correlate events, de-duplicate, and have one
set of rules for escalation purposes and monitoring, all in
real time. Now you have one place to proactively manage and
monitor your security infrastructure from the Firewall, IDS,
and Anti-Virus, to more complex protocols like Access Control
Management, Anti-Spamming and Wireless Security protections.
Adage uses vendor neutral methodology incorporating the right
solution for the right network. Adage supports several Security
Management platforms including Open's System Watch, Micromuse,
Aprisma SSM and Lucent's Security Management Server. The best
in class solution will enhance the end user experience by
providing proactive, real time monitoring, advanced reporting,
multiple platform integration, and optimizing the existing
investment in security.

The Adage security frame work incorporates tried
and true components like Firewalls/VPNs, Intrusion Detection
Systems, and E-mail Anti-virus. But today's evolving corporate
landscapes often requires new evolving security protections
as well. This includes Wireless Security, Access Control Management,
and Content Filtering with Anti-spamming components. Adage
can help you untangle these tentacles and use them to your
advantage to build a healthy proactive security solution.
