The Firewall/VPN

Adage Networks helps you make the right choice when choosing a Firewall for your infrastructure. Key selling points for Firewalls and VPNs include: Best in Class Performance, Price per Mbps, Policy based Management, number and type of Cert Advisories, remote management functionality and scalable future proof technology.

The IDS:

The Intrusion Detection Systems is an integral part of any complete security solution. As the firewall works hard to keep out the harmful elements, no network is immune. The IDS searches the network for known signature pattern threats, protocol parsing, and anomaly detection, and suspicious application activity. When a suspect event is detected the IDS alerts the security team for immediate investigation and problem resolution. Adage Networks supports the Enterasys Dragon and Cisco IDS solution.

Email Security and Anti-Virus:

Public and corporate America has come to depend on email communication just as much as they have the telephone and in many cases more. The window of communication to the internal and external network is also a window of threat to the very health of the network. Protecting the email system is also vital to the core business. The threats to the email health include viruses, worms, corporate hacks including buffer overflows and password grabs. Any one of these threats can have devastating consequences if not mitigated. The capture of sensitive data from an Exchange server during a corporate hack can cost corporations millions in liabilities, market advantages and reputation.

Adage secures the digital mail system with solutions which protect against the attack from buffer overflows, Denial of Service, password cracking and Trojan horses. Also important is comprehensive Anti-Virus, Spam Control, and Content Filtering. The correct solution will protect your corporate data from both internal and external threats.
Adage Networks has partnered with CipherTrust and Network Associates to deliver these solutions.

Wireless Security:

The promise of high ROI and low technology barriers for implementation will spur the wireless deployment from $2.4 billion to almost $5.2 billion by 2005. Wireless; however have certain inherited security flaws:

• Rogue Access Points (deployed out side of internal IT departments)
• Wireless bleeding and broadcasting outside of walls
• Man in the Middle attacks
• Denial of Service
• IP and MAC address Spoofing
• Packet sniffing

To combat the rogue deployment and data capture, Adage Networks can offer cutting edge solutions to monitor, manage, and secure your wireless network. We offer solutions based on new security technology specifically for wireless but also the design know how to bring LAN technologies into play for a comprehensive lock down and lock out of Wireless network traffic. We offer solutions from small PDA devices for WLAN management and spot checking to a real time 24x7 Wireless Security packages all designed to incorporate Best Practices from the LAN/WAN network. We are proud of our associations with AirMagnet, AirDefense and Checkpoint in securing our client's wireless infrastructures.

Access Control Management:

Understanding our client's requirements is where Adage changes solutions into business models. With our Access Control Management we tie the physical to the digital, from directory services to biometrics; we wrap our security tentacles around the problem and give control back to the administrators and management. This level of integration is where customization, from a client prospective, gives our solutions the dynamic power missing in many security architectures.

Directory Services: The power to control access to your network and databases is fundamental. Building the right directory service is paramount to the health of your digital environment. The right solution will provide centralized control over the identities and access rights of both internal and external users. Users can access the information they need for their job function but are barred from access to areas outside of their "need to know." Real ROI dollars can be achieved as well by enhancing the functionality to provide Single Sign On, Dynamic Rules/Rights Access Management, and Increase web service efficiencies. Adage supports Novell eDirectory and Sun Microsystems.

Physical Security: The network is only as safe as is the access to it. Adage has developed several layers of functionality into digital security including Video over IP Security cameras, biometric secure identification, motion sensors and access control cards. With the development of IP over Video, rules can be written to send traps for pixel distortion, and correlated events structures such as video zoom when access is denied at the data center entrance. We support the March Network solution

Biometrics is the tie in between retinal, palm print, voice or face recognition and the secure identification management system. Access is granted and controlled based on authentication and rules management. Much the same way access cards are now being used not only at facility entrances but also at the computer terminal. Although each control is different, they are all designed for identity authentication and rules based access controls. Adage networks supplies the expertise to tie the physical systems to the Directory Services. We also support the efforts of RSA Security.

The Adage Networks Difference: We take great pride in the fact our solutions are built for the real world to solve real client problems. Any one can sell and integrate a Firewall or IDS solution, and do it well, but we differentiate ourselves by taking our clients networks to the next level and building real Business value into the security framework. We do this by understanding the client pains/needs and building solutions using our technical expertise and partnered solutions. Our core network management background paved the way for our expertise in event correlation and rules definement in Security Management. The technical requirements for this integration is very high and we are positioned to offer these services to our clients.
