Managed Security Services (MSS)

Protect your critical infrastructure from network attacks and vulnerabilities using Livermore Software Laboratories' Managed Security Services (MSS). Our in house experts use sophisticated tools to provide 24 x 7 x 365 internet security, vulnerability and threat management services for your firm. LSLI will install and manage a complete security system at a fraction of the cost required to manage and build comparable functions in house.

Services:

Network Security Management

• intrusion prevention and detection
• security monitoring
• vulnerability assessment
• penetration testing
• incident management
• Virus Scanning
• content filtering
• VPN

Vulnerability and Threat Management Services

• Indentify and prioritize security vulnerabilities
• Continuous, monthly or quarterly network vulnerability assessment

Firewall and Intrusion Prevention management

LSLI installs, configures and supports the firewalls(s) that also include intrusion detection and prevention. The firewall also blocks SPAM and executable file attachments that can carry viruses. Anti-virus and URL content filtering can be added to the services.

Vulnerability and Threat Management Services

LSLI provides two levels of Vulnerability and Threat Management services.

Quarterly Threat Analysis Service performs the following functions on a quarterly basis. Scans the entire network and identifies and prioritizes all security vulnerabilities. A complete report is sent to the client.

Continuous Threat Analysis Service continuously assesses the network, identifies new hosts as they come online, automatically asseses their security posture along with all previously identified hosts.

• Continuous network mapper
• Continuous network scanning
• Remote management and updating of Threat Analysis systems from central site
• Prioritization of vulnerability mitigation efforts
• Workflow management to remove vulnerabilities via Risk Mitigation System (RMS)
• Automatic rescan to verify all vulnerabilities marked as fixed were indeed fixed
• Dynamically generated reports that show security posture over time
• Automatic e-mail notification of critical vulnerabilities

Security

LSLI's MSS provides the highest level of security possible using technology that has successfully withstood all Internet attacks for a period of more than 9 years. No vulnerabilities have ever been reported by CERT, BugTraq, SANS or the FBI's NIPC; a record unequaled by any other vendor. The PORTUS Application Protection System is an appliance that integrates the functions of a firewall, application level defenses, content filter, web cache, workload balancer and report generator. Solutions are available to meet the requirements of small, medium, large and ultra-large organizations requiring multi-gigabit per second throughput.

The software and hardware can be upgraded to support larger workloads as required. Both vertical and horizontal upgrades are available.

PORTUS provides application level defenses that block more than 1000 application level attacks that pass undetected through the best of the Stateful Packet Filters. High Availability is integrated into PORTUS using fault tolerant hardware and software technology. This provides customers with a highly reliable product that detects, isolates and recovers from hardware and software errors on the fly.

Reports and Audits

Our MSS provides more than 60 customizable reports that can be produced on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Clients receive immediate notification of any vulnerabilities uncovered. LSLI performs a complete test and audit of system immediately after installation and configuration.

Reliability

The LSLI MSS solution uses fault tolerant hardware and software to provide high availability services suitable for mission critical applications. The hardware is configured with redundant components that reduce single points of failure that can cause a service disruption. This includes redundant hot-swap power supplies, redundant hot-swap disk drives. Some SMP models also support Dynamic CPU Deallocation which prevents CPU errors from disrupting transactions.

The software provides non-disruptive hardware & software upgrades. Hot plug PCI slots allow card replacement or upgrades without disrupting the system. Additional disk drives can be added and configured while the system is running. Software upgrades and configuration changes can be applied without disrupting operations.

High Availability (99.999%) configurations are available that offer complete redundancy with automated recovery from hardware and software failures. Automated log archival, and disk space management eliminate system disruptions caused by disk space shortages. Automated alerts are issued when storage thresholds are exceeded permitting human intervention to avoid service outages. Automated warning are issued when hardware and software of error thresholds exceed acceptable thresholds. This allows for scheduling of preventative maintenance prior to hard failures.

Support

LSLI takes full responsibility for correct installation, configuration and interoperability of the hardware and software solutions. LSLI provides and installs all software updates. LSLI provides off site functional and security testing of the solution. LSLI provides off-site backups of the software configurations. LSLI contracts for on-site repair of all hardware. Several levels of hardware support are available ranging from 9x5 M-f to 24x7. LSLI performs problem determination and resolution.

LSLI has been developing and distributing network security solutions for more than 10 years. LSLI has developed OEM firewalls as well as PORTUS the only firewall with 10 years on the market without a reported security breech. LSLI has been providing MSS for more than 3 years.
