Complete Information Security Series-Atlanta GA

Information security is rising as more hackers seek new ways to exploit network vulnerabilities. Interestingly, there is not a single type of end-point that hasn’t been exploited or any form of communication on the Internet that is not vulnerable to hackers.

For this reason, INSI has introduced a complete information security series to help protect Atlanta’s small- and medium-sized businesses. No matter your risk or information security budget, INSI has you covered. Our information security series includes:

1. Risk Assessments and Vulnerability Checks

There are two different types of risk assessments: regulated and supply chain. Regulated industries include healthcare, insurance, banking, accounting, and any company that processes credit cards. Similarly, clients and partners often request Supply Chain Risk Assessment if they share sensitive client data with you. We have both covered. INSI Risk Assessment series includes:

  • Network vulnerability tests – Examine-IT is our vulnerability scanning service. Under this program, INSI will perform vulnerability scanning of a network to identify open ports exposed to hackers and unused ports that need to be secured. This service is priced quarterly or semi-annually. 
  • Regulatory risk assessments – Assess-IT is our risk assessment program which uses a framework to identify, rectify, and document security measures required by government regulations (HIPAA, PCI, SOX, GLBA, and FERPA). 
  • Supply chain risk assessments – There are two types of supply chain risk assessments: those under a regulatory framework and those that a business partner or client requests. 

2. Mobile Device Protection

Today, most companies have a “bring-your-own-device (BYOD)” policy for cell phones, and end-users are connected to their work emails, calendars, and applications. As a result, mobile phones have fewer controls than any other end-point on the network. Therefore, INSI implemented a mobile assessment program and threat defense program:.

  • Fortify-IT – Fortify-IT is our Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) program that provides mobile protection for your general employee population and BYOD users. This program will provide reporting, assistance with end-user remediation, policy creation, assisted deployment, threat escalations, mobile advisory, and recommendations. 
  • MobileAssess-IT – INSI’s Mobile Risk Assessment provides experienced assessment experts who will evaluate the risk to mobile phones/tablets, policies, and impact on policies, and then recommend actions to better secure and align mobile devices to your business practices.  

3. Email Protection

Email is the most significant vulnerability to your company because your end-users are constantly attacked by phishing and spear-phishing schemes. Every email that travels over the Internet has the potential to be seen by hackers. That is why INSI has a complete series of email protection services. This includes:

  • MDR-IT – When Antivirus isn’t enough, consider INSI’s MDR-IT.  Our Managed Detection and Remediation (MDR) program records all events on your endpoints. When a credible threat is detected, our team will analyze the chain of events in real-time and determine the validity of the threat. Once identified, the malicious activity immediately stops it in its tracks, and our team guides you through the remediation.
  • Encrypt-IT – INSI’s email encryption service, Encrypt-IT integrates with Outlook or Webmail platforms.  As a result, the end user will only need to click a button to encrypt an email. The receiver will receive a secure link to unencrypt the email.
  • AV-IT – AV-IT is our Antivirus package. INSI will manage and maintain best-of-class Antivirus that will clean and prevent viruses from infecting your devices and network. Most importantly, INSI checks the status of your AV daily to ensure agents are up-to-date and reporting accurately. 
  • STOP-IT – Stop-IT is our spam filtering package. With this program, you can stop spam from entering your inbox. Interestingly, INSI’s spam filtering has over one million rules that filter out bad emails from going to your end-users. In addition, it also provides identity protection to prevent phishing.

4. Application Protection

The most common developer applications have code that has been exploited. Unfortunately, your developers have no way of knowing which code is compromised. As a result, you end up with highly compromised custom programming. INSI protects your custom applications by analyzing, scanning, and monitoring the application at the code level.

  • AppSecure-IT – With our AppSecure-IT, INSI can see an attack inside the application at the code level. Just as important, we can block attacks at a code level without the need for code or programming modifications. AppSecure-IT will also enhance your SIEM or MDR with improved data. 

5. Network Security Monitoring, Checks, & Response

Your network is constantly under attack by new threats. The best defense is a program that regularly checks your information security settings, tracks real-time threat monitoring and event correlation, and provides an actionable incident response. Our ultimate program includes vulnerability assessments, Security Information and Event Monitoring (SIEM), and Managed Detection and Remediation (MDR).

  • SIEM-IT – Our Security Information and Event Management service, SIEM-IT, provides real-time threat monitoring, event correlation, and incident response. Powered by Cybriant, our team of engineers watches, gathers, analyzes, and reports on suspicious activities in your logs. In the past, only enterprise companies could afford this level of service; now INSI makes it available to small- and medium-sized businesses too! 
  • Pre-Tect-IT – INSIs PreTect-IT  combines SIEM, MDR, and Vulnerability Management. With this program, we apply patch management across your organization and establish secure vulnerable configurations—even on remote and mobile endpoints. Then we assign a team of highly qualified security analysts to oversee your system around the clock and calendar. Most importantly, this team guides you through the entire remediation process. 

Complete Information Security Consulting Services

Most small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) do not have security experts on staff. Yet, SMBs are the most vulnerable. INSI’s Chief Information Security Officer becomes intimately familiar with your organization and will design a security roadmap that covers controls, risk, compliance, and best practices based on your risk.

  • CISO-IT – INSI’s Virtual Chief Information Security Officer, CISO-IT, thoroughly understands your environment to establish strategic security planning, development, and a security roadmap designed just for you.
