Cybersecurity

In an era of evolving cyber threats, cybersecurity is not just a priority—it’s a necessity.

At Attracting Solutions, we take a cutting-edge, comprehensive approach to security. Cybersecurity protection can no longer be about securing the perimeter, protecting endpoints, scrubbing email, or data encryption. Security involves a unified approach that integrates various security defenses such as Endpoint Protection (EPP), Email Security and filtering, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) and Unified Threat Management (UTM), to create an encompassing security framework that combines all these protections to create a secure environment, throughout IT infrastructures.

Attracting Solutions provides integrated cybersecurity solutions that work together to cover all the bases, because security is only as strong as the weakest point, and when an attack occurs, a coordinated response by all players is needed. 

In today’s technology landscape, collaboration can occur in the office, from home, across the country, or around the world. Providing secure remote access is key to ensuring productivity and business continuity. Protecting the perimeter is no longer enough; all traffic should be identified, scrutinized and verified to be safe. Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is the new paradigm for remote access and networking, because works on the belief that no traffic can be assumed to be safe, all traffic must be authenticated and verified throughout the network. Single Sign On is an important method to reduce the overhead and identify traffic in a less cumbersome, more efficient manner.

When operations are global and diverse, providing a single framework for secure unified access and management, across various platforms, cloud infrastructures and topologies, is key. Whether through secure cloud, web and virtual gateways and firewalls, leveraging integrated security, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) to create a unified virtual security platform.

Sleep easy knowing the security of your IT infrastructure is under watchful eyes, around the clock. Attracting Solutions partners with leading providers of Security Operations Centers (SOC) to provide 24/7 monitoring and analyzing security alerts and events, responding to security incidents, and ensuring the overall security posture of the organization’s IT infrastructure. Powerful artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms are leveraged by experienced security technicians to respond to security threats quickly and efficiently.

Close the door to email security threats!
Email is the most common way security threats and malware get into systems, because though email, cybercriminals can access a computer across the country or across the world, that they cannot access physically. That’s why email security can be the most important way to stop viruses, ransomware, BOTS or other malware for getting into your IT systems. Email security will check email for viruses, including scanning email content, URLs and links, and inspect attachments in siloed sandboxes, to test for embedded threats in executables, PDF’s, videos, photos, spreadsheets, and other docs. Email protection also includes configuring proper safeguards for outgoing email against spoofs and imposters, or improper email rejection using SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Email security will also check for unauthorized email servers, incoming email spoofing and impostors, and identify and label external emails, so organization will know when an email comes from outside and can be extra careful. Unwanted domains and spammers can also be blocked.

Computers, laptops, notebooks tablets and servers are sometimes the last line of defense against viruses and malware. If a security threat is able to breach firewall protections and email security, or penetrate a wifi network, proper protection of the end device, the computer or server, can stop the threat. When endpoint protection is integrated with a Security Operations Center – SOC, and Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), security resources can be brought to bear to respond swiftly to contain the damage and remove the threat. For these reasons, up to date, cloud managed endpoint protection, integrated with an overall security framework is a key component of a proper security posture.

When Wi-Fi is turned on, anyone within earshot of the wifi signal can get into a network, exposing systems to threats. Physical access to the network is no longer needed. Criminals outside our door, in a lobby or van across the street can use the wifi to penetrate the network and wreak havoc. Proper Wi-Fi security, using up to date authentication methods, encryption standards and protocols, private and hidden SSID’s, and properly isolated guest networks is key.

Keep systems protected by installing timely updates and patches with automated update services delivered through Attracting Solutions managed services. Hackers and cybercriminals are constantly finding holes and vulnerabilities in commonly used operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows Server, Apple masOS, Linux, system BIOS, and firmware used by key IT devices including switches routers, and firewalls. The vulnerabilities are then used to penetrate systems and install viruses, ransomware, malicious BOTS, and other malware. When the criminals begin to exploit the weaknesses they have found, security engineers around the world detect the exploits, and the race is on to update systems to correct the vulnerabilities and through System updates and patches, before a hacker attacks, and it’s too late. For these reasons, installing timely updates and patches is key to keeping systems safe and protected.

IT Security is no longer about securing the perimeter, protecting endpoints, scrubbing email, or data encryption. Security involves a comprehensive approach that includes all of these items, and more, to provide an encompassing security framework that leverages all these items, together with Zero Trust and artificial intelligence, to protect against cyberthreats throughout IT infrastructures. Attracting Solutions provides integrated security solutions that cover all the bases

When a security threat is discovered on a computer or other device, responding quickly to stop the damage from spreading and further compromising systems is critical. Taking appropriate action as soon as possible can allow siloing clean systems areas from the infection, and containing damage so the impact is minimized. Proper virus removal ensures that the systems are in fact clean and safe, so systems can be safely brought back online. Knowing how to identify and leverage a clean backup is also key. Cloud backups are sometimes the only, last resort the recover from a malware attack.

But restoring using a clean backup to replace infected systems must be done properly or systems will not operate correctly and systems can become reinfected.

Additional IT Services include:

Test security with Penetration Test (Pen Test). Penetration tests use IT security experts to attempt test and breach security infrastructures, including wired network infrastructure penetration testing of switches, routers, firewalls and other network attached devices, and wireless WiFi penetration testing of wifi networks, including AP’s, authentication methods, encryption standards and protocols, private hidden and guest SSID’s, cracking of encryption keys, and packet analysis.
