Services
24 x7 Security Monitoring
The earthwave 24 x 7 Security Analysts constantly monitor, analyse and report on all security matters affecting the customer gateway. Our team consists of industry certified engineers, with significant experience in analysing attack patterns and malicious activity, enabling them to effectively distinguish between false positives and real security incidents
Threat/Incident Response and Forensics
Earthwave deploys leading Correlation, Data Mining and External Threat & Verification techniques. Our 24x7 Watch Team continuously monitors systems under earthwave's management. Detected incidents are immediately processed, and incident detection and response procedures initiated. As part of this process client technical and on-call representatives are advised and kept informed during the course of the incident with formal post-incident reporting and forensics data provided
Redundant and Multi-Vendor Tiered Firewalls
With this module we add redundancy by deploying a pair of firewalls as well as additional security by deploying another pair of firewalls in a tiered architecture. This module further secures network access and minimises losses due to downtime
Site-to-Site and Remote Access VPN
Earthwave deploys standards based site-to-site & client remote access VPNs to secure the integrity of information transmitted over public and private networks. By leveraging the VPN technology built into firewalls, routers and VPN concentrators, this module creates cost-efficient trust relationships for critical online business operations acting across multiple locations. In addition, we help coordinate VPN communications with client business partners and other third-party participants
Network and Host Intrusion Detection and Prevention
This module supplements your firewall protection by adding Network and/or Host based Intrusion Detection and Prevention services to the gateway architecture and quietly monitoring network and server traffic, watching for suspicious activity and stopping attacks in progress. By strategically placing intrusion detection sensors on your network and on critical servers, earthwave security operations experts can manage the devices around the clock, proactively watching for security violations or misuse that originate from inside or outside the network. Alarms automatically signal suspicious activity, prompting quick response and escalation as required
Virus and Spam Protection
The Virus and Spam Protection module provides automatic, real-time protection against virus and spam threats at the email gateway through continuous scanning, virus detection, cleansing, and quarantining; policy management; and delivery of the latest virus definition updates.
URL, Web and/or Content Filtering
The URL and/or Content Filtering modules deliver the capabilities for organisations to protect themselves against web and/or email based threats, meet legal and regulatory requirements, implement productivity saving policies and manage the intellectual property passing through their network. The service can be co-managed by the customer with controlled management access to the URL and/or Content Filtering service via the earthwave Security Portal
Secure Mail
The Secure Mail service provides an enterprise secure messaging solution for protecting e-mail and files shared internally and across company boundaries. It combines strong content security authentication, encryption, and data integrity checking with an unprecedented set of rights management features. Two protection levels Secure Delivery and Secure Content give you the flexibility to apply the appropriate amount of security on a message-by-message basis
Strong Authentication
Your company needs to provide remote network access to employees, business partners, suppliers and customers. At the same time, you must ensure your network cannot be compromised by unauthorised access. User authentication is a key component of any corporate security strategy. With the Strong Authentication module, you can control and authorise access to corporate resources, intellectual property and mission-critical business applications using best-practice Two Factor Authentication methods. The service provides the answer to the question is the person who is attempting to access protected files and/or resources an authentic user or an impostor?.
Secure Hosting
Secure Hosting is typically provided in conjunction with Gateway Services, but may be provided as a stand-alone service. Secure Hosting is provided for organisations wishing to have either a website or server hosted in a DSD certified and ASIO T4 accredited secure environment.
Rack space is available in either a full rack or half-rack configuration. We can provide a secure (hardened) server for the hosted applications or you can provide the server which we will harden to the appropriate level.
The hosted device can be managed by earthwave on your behalf or you can remotely manage it yourself. Tailored solutions for your requirements can be arranged to suit organisational and compliance needs.
Where we deploy the server, the following options are also available:
- Health and performance monitoring
- Availability monitoring
- Load balancing
- Reverse Proxy
- Secure content administration
- Backup and recovery services
- Virus and local firewall protection services
- Patch management services
- Host intrusion detection & prevention services
- Local firewall, spyware and virus protection
FedLink
FedLink uses the Internet to provide government approved connectivity between departments and agencies. This leads to significant savings on the cost of leased lines for secure communications. By using the Internet, FedLink provides a cost-effective solution that can reach regionally-based agencies, service providers and overseas. FedLink Agencies can communicate between themselves up to the PROTECTED level depending on their internal network and gateway classification. The security of FedLink comes from the IPSec international standard. IPSec creates authenticated, encrypted links between participating agencies to create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) across the public Internet.
