Estimates are that billions of dollars are lost every year to cybercrime. Yet a recent survey by CSO Online discovered “two-thirds of the IT executives said their company did not have a well-defined company-wide security policy or plan in place” and “half of the companies in the survey have no system in place to determine if the company's infrastructure is under attack?”

An organization’s data and resources are constantly in danger from attack and misuse. Furthermore, confidential information must be protected from industrial and international espionage. By implementing a solution to protect your IT resources, you can prevent catastrophic system outages, save money on lost productivity, and prevent legal challenges due to information disclosure.

Polymorphic Systems will perform a comprehensive threat analysis and design preventive measures to minimize your risk. We’ll review (or create) security policies and procedures, install secure hardware and software, and design and develop custom solutions that reduce your exposure and maximize your comfort.

1. Security Consulting

   • Needs Assessment. Determine scope and requirements based on risk, government regulations (e.g. HIPAA), trends, business objectives and budget. Polymorphic Systems will review and recommend the best possible security architecture for your needs.
   • Policies and Procedures. We will work with your organization to develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of your data.
   • Network Topology Mapping. Polymorphic Systems will help you identify potential network access points and security holes across your entire topology (WANs, LANs, Trusted Layer, DMZ, Firewalls, IP Sprayers, Gateways, and more).
   • Installation and Configuration. Rushed installations often leave system security defaults in place, leaving the doors wide open for even the lowliest script kiddie. Polymorphic Systems will install products and help configure them to provide crucial security. We document parameter usage, and correlate the settings to your business requirements.
   • Custom Development. Security goes beyond firewalls and virus protection. Many companies need to implement custom solutions that provide a more efficient and secure solution than out-of-the-box products furnish. We design and implement custom security solutions such as:
     • PIN/password management
     • Distributed active directory management
     • Application roles and control
     • DBMS Grant control
     • Intrusion monitoring
     • Single sign-on

2. Risk Assessment

   • Security Audits. Polymorphic Systems will perform an unbiased, comprehensive engineering review of your current network security systems to ensure compliance with prevailing security policies. We can also help perform intrusion detection, firewall configuration and review, vulnerability analysis and penetration testing. The results of this audit remain confidential, so that policies, procedures and systems can be implemented before a hack makes the headlines!
   • Intrusion Detection. Most CIOs, when asked whether they know if their computing systems have ever been hacked, reply “I don’ know.” Unsettling. Especially when almost 73% of all companies have been hacked in one form or another.Using state-of-the-art hardware and software monitors, Polymorphic Systems will show you attempted hacks and their source. Most companies are surprised how many unauthorized attempts there are to gain access to their computing systems every day.
   • Firewall Configuration Review. The bulwark of your organization’s network security is the firewall. Sitting on the perimeter of a network. the firewall protects your internal resources from outside attacks and regulating network traffic. Polymorphic Systems provides expertise with a broad range of firewall technologies including Check PointT, Cisco Systems, NetScreen, and others.
   • Vulnerability Analysis. Polymorphic Systems will evaluate both external and internal risks to your network and help you develop measures to detect and prevent security breaches.
   • Penetration Testing. Using state-of-the-art tools and methods, we’ll attempt to penetrate your network. Our professionals will document the results and recommend solutions to prevent future intrusions. All reports will be in the strictest confidence.

3. Security Products

   Polymorphic Systems will provide an independent review of products for your new security plan. We can then implement and configure solutions such as:

   • Authentication
   • Firewalls
   • Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
   • Secure Remote Access
   • Encryption
   • Digital signatures
   • Virus protection
   • Content filtering

   In addition, we can develop customized solutions to assist in the administration and operation of these products.

4. Crisis Management

   If you are in the midst of a crisis such as a denial of service (DOS) attack, a suspected security breach or administrative lock-out, our experts can come in and help you identify and resolve these problems in a timely and cost effective fashion.
