Security Consultation

EMS has and works with some of the best security experts in the field. Unlike many other companies who say they can do security, we have the real experience to back it up.

We have worked with the FBI and multiple state's authorities and prosecutors to help track down, catch, bring to trial, and convict numerous individuals who broke the law hacking into systems or attacking them. We have also worked with Sprint to help identify and fix major vulnerabilities in the Cisco IOS. We have worked with major corporations and government agencies to alert them to security issues on their networks that were being exploited by hackers on the internet and in many cases provided actionable evidence for them to pursue it. We also have developed new ways to help detect insecurities on the internet to protect our own network and the networks of our customers.

In an area where nothing can ever be 100% secure, with new vulnerabilities being found daily and many being exploited before there are even fixes made for them, we secure everything that can be secured and work to reduce the risk of potential damage as much as possible.

We believe in a comprehensive security plan, one that may include any or all of the following customized to your companies specific needs and budget:

  • Main Firewalls - These will be your front line of defense from many types of probes and attacks towards your network.
  • Segmented LAN with additional Firewalls protecting critical systems - This will help protect your servers should an internal server get compromised by limiting traffic and connections to each critical server.
  • Advanced Intrusion Detection and Logging - This will not only detect activity but keep a safe log of it incase anything bad does happen you have a starting point to investigate.
  • Assessing servers and applications and protecting each one from specific types of threats. (Example: SQL Injection attacks that can be used to steal information from your databases or used to corrupt or delete information from them)
  • Securing routers from external access/exploitation - Protect your routers from un-authorized access and potential vulnerabilities
  • Enabling C2 security auditing levels on SQL and other servers. C2 is a security requirement from the US Department of Defense. It certifies that a system has a high level of secured resources and auditing capabilities
  • Adding backup plans/servers. Even the best security can sometimes be broken, many times from the inside by employees who open a virused e-mail etc. By having many backups you have a failsafe to fall back to in case the worst happens, your databases and files will be secure and able to be restored. 
  • Detecting and securing open resources. Many times companies don't even realize they have open file shares or resources others can access.

In the case someone does break into your network, we also can help evaluate the server to help determine how they got in, what they did, and what they gained access to. We can also help investigate and extract evidence to provide a starting point for the authorities to pursue criminal actions and track down who did it. Likewise in some cases we can help recover data off the server that was deleted. In other repeat cases we can help setup a Honey-Pot to monitor data sent/received and help create a sting operation for the authorities to catch the criminals.
