Automated Security Audits

Beratung has extensive experience with these tools and can help you to analyse audit reports and react appropriately.

Prevention

Beratung can advise how to design security into your business processes. Beratung can install scanning and auditing software, define and implement a secure network architecture and recommend procedures and policies to optimise the safety of your network. Beratung's security expertise is available to help you configure a firewall, set up secure remote access to email and data and implement a virtual private network (VPN).

If you are interested in an economical way to outsource your security efforts, Beratung's 24x7 Network Support services include continual remote network monitoring with a fast response to problems.

Disaster Recovery and Virus Removal

Beratung has expertise in recovering systems that have been compromised, are suspect or have failed as a result of a security breach. Beratung can help assess the damage caused by an attack and restore normal business operations and any data lost during an attack. Beratung's experience with security reduces your downtime and allows Beratung to recommend efficient ways to prevent or contain future attacks.

Security Planning

Every business should have a carefully thought-out security strategy that includes both Proactive and Reactive plans. The proactive or pre-attack strategy is a set of steps that helps minimise vulnerabilities and develops a contingency plan. The reactive strategy or post-attack strategy helps security personnel assess the damage caused by an attack, repair the damage, document the experience and get business functions running as soon as possible.

Beratung's expert IT consultants can help you perform a full risk assessment and define a computer security strategy that can implement security policy and controls to help minimise future attacks and threats.

Configuring Microsoft ISA Server 2004

Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 offers policy-based security, enhanced performance and easier management by providing both a firewall and a Web cache server integrated within Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. The firewall provides extensive data filtering, control of access policy and traffic routing. The cache improves network performance by storing frequently requested Web content.

Beratung's trained consultants plan and implement a configuration that supports your business requirements without adversely restricting your network.
