Internet Immune System - A System Architecture
for Protecting Your Networks and Internet
Gateways
Today, large companies, organizations, and
agencies are expanding and updating their
internal infrastructure of networked computers.
These increasingly complicated networks are
interconnected with the global information
infrastructure through the Internet and business
partner networks. These interconnections -
implemented as Intranets and Extranets - are
increasingly vulnerable to attacks. At the same
time, information technology (IT) is
proliferating, and these low cost encrypted
Internet-based "electronic borders" are
increasingly hard to define and protect.
The solution is to create an "immune system"
to protect the entire IT infrastructure against
external and internal threats by making security
pervasive and preventing incidents where
possible, and detecting and responding
appropriately when necessary. Just as immune
system constantly monitors the health of a body
and uses a range of means to prevent, detect,
intercept, and defeat disease, an Internet
Immune System must be equally aggressive in
controlling attacks.
More information on the Internet Immune
System approach may be found in
the Digital Immune System for Protecting Your
Networks and internet gateways (PDF File).
An Internet Immune System is not a technology
or suite of technologies, it is a basic change
to the management of IT infrastructures that use
Internet technologies for cost advantages.
Threat Assessment, Requirements Analysis,
Design, Integration, Deployment and Operation
must all be linked by strong Technical
Leadership and effective Project Management.
We can integrate security using a wide range
of components and system topologies including
client-server solutions, thin clients using the
Internet as transport, VPN LAN-LAN solutions,
encrypted WAN solutions, and wireless networks.
We also focus on usability since security fails
if it is onerous or awkward. IT GlobalSecure's
experienced staff can develop a comprehensive
Security Architecture and effective design that
meets your organization's Business Objectives. |
