Security Architecture Review

Challenge

Most network infrastructures have evolved over time to meet changing business demands and in many cases security has been an afterthought. To protect critical business services and assets, you need to be confident that your security architecture is providing a comprehensive, multi-layer defense that must be incorporated throughout the business. As security architectures evolve over time, you must also ensure that security technologies remain aligned with business objectives, security policy, and compliance requirements.

The best way to manage security risk and compliance requirements is through a systematic approach that addresses the entire security lifecycle and is built upon a standards-based security infrastructure. If you do not implement effective security controls you place data integrity, information confidentiality, and the availability of business-critical applications at greater risk.

Solution

Secure Application's Security Architecture Review service provides a detailed evaluation of your organization's current network security architecture, technology policy, management practices and planned architecture. The service identifies network and design architectural weaknesses in security, performance, scalability, and extensibility. Our team of security experts recommends improvements to better align the security architecture with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27002 security model, industry best practices, business objectives, and your organization's security policy.
