Network Security

From the server architectures and network monitoring to the continuous scan of industry and hacker sites for new vulnerabilities, the data center is built with a bunker-style mentality.

Hosting Network customers access their systems through industry leading secured encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN). In addition, our clients can choose between 2 firewall options: the Cisco PIX firewall and CheckPoint Firewall-I. Both offerings are configured in high-availability, fail-over clusters.

We also offer network intrusion detection services and 3rd party vulnerability assessments. The firewalls prevent any direct access to the database or the operating system. Operating system and database administration accounts are only accessible by highly qualified personnel.
