Network Security

Entac's network security consultants have a wide and in-depth experience of all aspects of network security, from next generation firewalls to enterprise secure routing and mobility solutions. 

We can deploy just about any technical solution, whether leading edge or more traditional devices.  If required, we can also train your support teams or hand over to your managed service provider.

Technology Deployment

At Entac, we're vendor agnostic.  That means we can concentrate on delivering the best solution for your requirements, rather than pushing our preferred vendor.  We will recommend the best technology solution we can find to meet your requirements, taking into account your budget, strategic business goals, and ongoing support requirements as well as technical details.

We like to work with our clients' staff closely so that we can ensure at all points during a project to ensure that the solution is right for your business, but if you need someone to come in and work independently, we can do that too!

Some of the technologies we can assist you with are:

  • Firewalls (including web app and database firewalls)
  • IDS/IPS
  • Routers and switches
  • Wireless and mobile solutions
  • Host-based security
  • Remote access solutions
  • Network monitoring and response
 

 

 

IPv6 Specialists

The Internet as we currently experience it is based on the IPv4 protocol.  As of the 31st of January 2011, IANA - the global body for assignment of new IP subnets - ran out of IPv4 prefixes to assign to regional authorities.  The exhaustion of the IPv4 space means that the Internet will increasingly migrate towards the new IPv6 protocol.  Some ISPs already support the new protocol, while others are planning their migration to IPv6.

The transition to IPv6 is not an easy step to make - it is a radical change in the fundamental architecture of the Internet, but through Entac, support is available.   IPv6 brings a wealth of new features with it, as well as finally solving long standing problems with IPv4 such as the need for NAT, as well as properly built-in security and mobile support.

Entac can support your migration to the next generation of the Internet Protocol, whatever stage your migration plans are at.  We can help and guide your planning from selecting your ISP and designing your perimeter  to re-addressing, dual-stack configuration and final implementation of the switch-over to IPv6. 

Design & Architecture

The fundamental task of the network is to carry data between your clients and services.  Until relatively recently, the idea of securing that traffic was considered unnecessary.  With the advent of the massiveily inter-connected Internet, with access available globally to internal corporate systems, the security of networks has become of paramount importance.

Not only is network security more important than ever, it is also more challenging than ever.  The move towards an ultra mobile workforce and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is making the network security professional's task more difficult than ever.

Entac consultants have first-hand experience of this environment and are experts at creating innovative, agile solutions to fit our clients' business requirements.  We use a service-centric approach to maintain security as an enabler rather than a restriction on your business.
