SECURITY SOLUTION

In today's economy, companies face two countervailing demands: leveraging the reach and flexibility of IP networks to do business more effectively, and securing these networks from the potential dangers of the Internet. Ignoring business opportunities and threats is not an answer. You need to take a proactive stance and implement the right technologies and procedures to protect and enhance your network - and grow your business.

ACM offers a wide range of Security Services that help you leverage the immense opportunities that IP networks and the Internet have to offer, while mitigating network security threats.

Taking An In-Depth Approach To Protecting Your Network

The most effective approach to managing security challenges is layered security, or a "defense-in-depth" strategy. Companies must look across many systems and operational procedures to ensure they have reliable security practices and technology to lower their security risks. ACM deploys security services for its customers in a variety of layers including:

Network perimeter security
Managed Firewall Services
Intrusion Detection/Prevention

Application security
Anti-virus & Anti-Spam
Content filtering

Endpoints (laptops and PCs) security
Personal Firewall/IDS Services
Policy Management

Identity Management
Digital Certificate Services

Data integrity

Since network security is a moving target, it is critical for companies to understand and inventorise what competencies are held in-house, and to establish what expertise is needed from external sources. Moreover, network security challenges cannot be met with the purchase of a single technology or system. Customers must routinely examine and adjust their network security posture to address the changing landscape of threats. ACM combines industry-leading security technology with specialized security staff and processes to help enterprises selectively outsource security tasks.

Instead of protecting customer networks like a castle with a single drawbridge entrance and exit, ACM guards its customers' networks like a well-run airport. Just as a good airport carefully checks passengers, baggage, employees, equipment, entrance and exits, ACM guards your network at multiple levels using a wide range of best-in-class technologies. Choose ACM to guard your network with this same "defense-in-depth" approach and you can rest assured that your data and infrastructure will be secure.

Security Management

Security management's goal is to assist you in creating an IT environment where you have constant access to accurate data. We help to protect your data from unauthorised access and modifications while maintaining the highest possible data availability at all times.
