Information security is consistently hitting the headlines. Stories abound about new viruses, new vulnerabilities and new attacks. The drive for information security has been fuelled by media stories about hacking and the public's corresponding growth in awareness of cybercrime.

According to the Department of Trade and Industry's 2004 report on Cybercrime, computer viruses and attacks cost £ 15bn in 2004. The average cost of a security breach was £ 50,000. 45% of perpetrators of cybercrime were hackers, 13% were ex-employees, a further 13% were organised criminals and 11% were current employees.

With threats both external and internal, information security has moved rapidly up the agenda for both SME's, Education, Public Sector organisations and Corporates in the past decade.

Organisations now utilise the benefits of communicating via the internet. It is imperative that these connections are protected from intrusion whilst allowing those authorised with entry at appropriate levels. Each organisation will have a security policy that is specific to their needs and will dictate particular technologies as part of the solution. Although the policy may not change on a day to day basis the management of security will need to reflect any day to day changes in staff or external access, necessitating a formal change control system.

Computrad have a holistic approach to Security and provide complete solutions that can be split into key areas as follows.

•  Firewall and Encryption (Protection)
•  Intrusion Detection & Prevention (The proactive approach)
•  AAA (Access, Authentication and Accounting)
•  Certification (3rd party security checks) and Load Balancing/High Availabity

Computrad are independent from the software and hardware suppliers and will integrate applicable products to form bespoke solutions.

To ensure the security solution maintains its effectiveness Computrad will fully manage a system including conducting changes to a formal procedure that will be acceptable to those requiring a firm audit acceptance. Research shows that many organisations assume they have protection, but sadly find when tested that the particular parameters have not been enable or enabled incorrectly. Computrad's experience providing these systems can therefore give confidence that the security policy is indeed being implanted correctly.
