Akibia's Technology Sectors

Leaders of IT security groups are chartered with defining security policies, protecting their IT environment, and ensuring that their security programs comply with pertinent regulations. The day-to-day operational challenges faced by these professionals makes it difficult to gain perspective on the technologies and solutions available to address their IT security requirements. Akibia Network & Security Solutions has developed a framework to assist our clients with understanding the technologies and solutions that will help them address their information security needs. Here is a brief overview of Akibia's Technology Sectors.

Identity Management

Identity and access management technologies allow organizations to manage and control user accounts and privileges. Accurately identifying end-users, establishing appropriate access and controls, while also providing a unified logon experience is an uphill battle facing organizations as users wrestle with the proliferation of logins for systems, applications and portals.

In addition, the authentication and authorization process is a critical juncture for taking proactive measures to protect corporate resources. As a user establishes identity and requests access to resources, it is an ideal time to be proactive in preventing the spread of malicious software throughout the infrastructure. Akibia has integrated a variety of identity and access solutions that improve security without impeding productivity or connectivity.

Messaging

Messaging is the fundamental business application that facilitates communication, coordination, and alignment within organizations. Building a robust infrastructure that provides a secure, trusted channel for communicating is increasingly complex. Defending against SPAM, infections, worms, spyware, blended threats, and information leakage requires a sophisticated, layered architecture that reduces threats without impacting communication. Akibia helps companies develop strategies that extend connectivity while maintaining security with a tiered architecture of solutions.

Network Infrastructure

As the borders of an organization's network infrastructure extend and fade, the need to rapidly react to the changing needs of the organization becomes paramount. Managing this infrastructure to get the best performance, productivity, and reliability while anticipating the demands, resources, and requirements for future business needs is a never-ending challenge for IT professionals. Akibia offers network infrastructure solutions that address the advanced needs of organizations embracing a distributed, remote access-enabled network paradigm.

Security Infrastructure

Security Infrastructures are designed to repel outside attacks, control access to systems, and assure that business assets are secure. Security infrastructures employ a variety of technology and process layers to progressively reduce the threats and exposures an enterprise faces until it reaches an acceptable level. Akibia has been consistently at the forefront of security infrastructure solutions that integrate the needs of the organization with industry best practices and best-of-breed solutions.

Vulnerability Management

To build and manage strong security infrastructures, experienced IT professionals rely on fundamental measures practiced in a coordinated and comprehensive manner. Vulnerability management is a process that establishes and maintains security policies for network and system resources; discovers and prioritizes vulnerabilities; shields and mitigates these risks, and strives to eliminate their root causes. Our accomplished staff of security experts can align your organization's IT practices with industry best practices and regulatory compliance directives to reach a dynamic and effective vulnerability management program.

Akibia has developed this Network Security framework to help leaders of IT security groups understand how to be successful in defining security policies, protecting their IT environment, and ensuring that their security programs comply with an ever expanding list of IT regulations and laws.
