Security Assessment and Implementation Services:

A secure computing environment does not simply occur. Effective Network Security encompasses many areas, including technology, human relations, and business methodology.

Using a combination of leading-edge technologies, consulting strategies, and fully supported implementations, the Computer Revolution Africa Network Security Practice can assist organizations to protecting their most valuable corporate assets.

A strong security program begins with a study of the client’s business needs, determining how day-to-day operations are conducted, and then developing a scope of work that delivers security at a level complementary to your requirements. Computer Revolution Africa Network Security Practice accomplishes this goal utilizing its tested methodology to deliver the following service solutions:

• Assessment and Penetration Studies
• Architecture and Implementation for Secure Infrastructures
• Specialized Solutions

Assessment and Penetration Studies

Determining what to protect is key to ensuring that your security plan will be economical as well as highly effective. Our Assessment and Penetration Solutions program assists clients in the creation, modification, or assessment of their security program. Starting with a customized, business focused interview process to better understand current business initiatives, culture, and the overall technical environment to create a targeted plan for a successful project.

Computer Revolution Africa’s Network Security team then executes the test plan(s) to determine where the client's business is most vulnerable to compromise or damage. The assessment is designed to identify internal, external or combined vulnerabilities, determined by the nature and scope of the engagement. Computer Revolution Africa Network Security team employs industry-leading commercial tools, as well as proprietary vulnerability identification systems and methodologies to provide the most comprehensive view of the client's network security status.

Additional areas of the assessment may, based on scope, include:

• Reviews of the organization's current Information Security Policy and Procedures,
• including recommended remediation with actual policy development if required
• Physical Security assessments of the client’s premises
• Social Engineering to determine the availability of confidential information Key

Deliverables include:

• Detailed network topologies, as discovered
• Prioritized vulnerability and risk information
• Remediation recommendations, including budgetary estimation, if so scoped

Architecture and Implementation:

The Computer Revolution Africa Security Services offering focuses on technology implementations. Through on-going service to our clients, we have identified and tested a selected number of leading-edge products that provide great assistance in the delivery of a secure computing environment. Each of these products fulfills a demand for a specific task within a secure environment.

Our tests have proven that no single product is capable of meeting the demands of all environments. A strong firewall product rarely has the built-in capability to provide other functions such as strong authentication or mail filtering. Often, the manufacturer compensates for this weakness by optimizing the product to support a complementary application.

The integration of these applications into the total security solution provides strong results. Computer Revolution Africa supports a variety of technologies including Firewalls, Intrusion Detection, Virtual Private Networks, Authentication, Bandwidth Management, URL Filtering, Content Control and Monitoring products. Our engineers are certified in all of these technologies and have an excellent track record of successful implementation. Additionally, included in every implementation is detailed documentation to fulfill corporate procedural requirements.

Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery:

No one likes to think of the effect a disaster may have on their daily operations. However, the possibility always exists for some unplanned event to bring your business to a screeching halt. Unexpected situations, ranging from a key storage device failure to a natural disaster, can paralyze operations. A strong Business Continuity Plan addresses how your enterprise must respond to a disaster, minimize its effect on continuing business, and define a quick recovery path. Computer Revolution Africa Security consultants can assist in the creation of an effective Business Continuity Plan.

Service Level Agreements (SLA’s):

Service Level Agreements are designed to record a common understanding about services, priorities, responsibilities, guarantees and warranties. Each area of our service scope has the "level of service" defined. Our SLA may specify the levels of availability, serviceability, performance, operation, or other attributes of the service, such as billing. The "level of service" can also be specified as "target" and "minimum," which allows customers to be informed what to expect (the minimum), whilst providing a measurable (average) target value that shows the level of organization performance.
