What is Smart Security?

Smart security starts with the first layer of defense to your network formed by the security gateways on the network perimeter, acting as a shield to protect your critical resources from intruders. These security gateways (firewalls, VPNs, remote access servers, portals) are programmed to allow the good guys in (employees, customers, partners, and others) while keeping the bad guys out, although it does not always work this way.

We refer to this layer as "smart security" because we architect our enterprise security solutions based on the following concepts:

1. All elements on the network perimeter should behave as a UNIFIED protective shield.
2. There should be a COMMON authentication, authorization and audit system to allow and trace users beyond the perimeter. This function should not be performed by the gateways, but rather by a separate layer which we term the Identity Management layer in our framework.
3. Firewalls and IDS provide a false sense of security. If the good guys can get through, there is a good chance the bad guys will too. We work on the assumption that the gateways forming the network perimeter can be compromised (malware, weak OS configuration, administrator errors, etc.). Therefore, internal gateways and stronger identity management systems should be deployed in conjuction to this service layer (see our Identity Management Services)
4. More security breaches are committed by employees (intentionally, by negligence, or accidentally) than by hackers. Therefore, security gateways on the perimeter are not enough.
5. We believe in the 3Rs: REDUCE, REDUCE, REDUCE. Eliminate unnecessary gateways (eg. provide access to resources through thin-client solutions or portals instead of remote access and VPN; a single authentication system instead one for each device).
6. PRODUCTS ALONE CAN'T PROVIDE ASSURANCE. Only the organization can achieve assurance through management commitment and a framework of sound policies and procedures.

We see ourselves as partners in the process of providing you with the trust and confidence in conducting eBusiness. Securewise offers the following services for building the "protective shield":
