Backup & Security

Viruses, spyware, malware, and ransomware are dangerous pieces of software that have the potential to cause great harm to your business.  Even with network security, human error can invite these incursions into your system.  Eagle Secure Solutions can provide protection for your business from these cyberattacks, as well as physical disasters, with a 4-pronged defensive strategy that includes the following.

Network Security

Depending on the complexity of your network, our solutions may include a mixture of the following:

• • Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware Software – We offer solutions that defend against known malicious software and go deeper to unearth unknown threats using AI technology.
  • Physical and virtual firewalls – These block unwanted traffic from entering the network or certain areas of the network.
  • Email Security—Spam filters and phishing attack detectors, combined with employee training, can significantly reduce the risk of malicious software entering your system through employee error.
  • Web Security—Deploying web security software will make it far less likely for you to gain access to a fraudulent website or download malicious content from the web.
  • Wireless Security – This blocks unauthorized users from accessing your Wi-Fi network to gain entry into your databases.
  • Endpoint Security – Desktops, printers, mobile devices, and more are all entry points for a cyber attacker. Endpoint security protects at a device level rather than approaching protection from just a network level.
  • Mobile Security – As smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other mobile devices become standard operating equipment, your business must consider how to protect these devices as they connect inside and outside the network.
  • Application Security – This type includes hardware, software, and procedures to protect your system from attack while accessing or updating applications.
  • Network Segmentation – Rather than allowing everyone on your network access to everything, network segmentation limits traffic flow based on the criteria you want in place.
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) – A VPN may be the answer for remote or traveling employees needing a safe and secure way to access the network from anywhere.
  • Access Control and Authentication – We can help you set up MFA, access control software, and the policies needed to support these.
  • Network Monitoring & Detection Systems – After mapping your system, you can have live monitoring of your entire system and alerts of incoming threats.
  • Data Loss Prevention – We can help your business invest in the right tools and develop the right strategies to protect your business from data loss, breach, or misuse.

Backups

Eagle Secure Solutions embraces the 3-2-1 rule for data backups, championed within the IT community as the best practice to protect data. The 3-2-1 rule requires a business to keep 3 copies of data (1 active, 2 backups), use 2 different media for backups, and keep 1 backup offsite. We recognize this is ideal for some and a requirement of their governing body for others. We work with various partners to provide complete backup solutions in physical storage and cloud storage. However, you will need to consider the type of backup you want rather than just the location.

• • File-based Backups—This type of backup stores your data saved in files. It is most useful when you have lost a file or found that your current version is corrupted, as you should be able to go to the backup and select the file you need to restore. If your entire system is compromised, your data will be secured in these backups, but it would require time to reinstall the OS, settings, and applications.
  • Image-based Backups—This type of backup captures a snapshot of your computer, including all settings and applications. This method allows you to quickly restore the entirety of your system in the event of a total system failure but could prove problematic if you need to restore one file amongst others that have been modified.
  • Hybrid approach—Keeping both a file-based and an image-based backup allows you to have the best of both types of backup.

Vulnerability Testing

IT professionals worldwide agree that you will be the target of a cyberattack. However, the question is not if you get attacked but whether you are vulnerable to the attack succeeding. This is where conducting a penetration test (pen test) periodically will help your organization find and close gaps. Pen testing will allow for the following:

• • Real-world Simulation – We will conduct a controlled cyberattack on your system to find the gaps in coverage and go as deep as possible to determine the magnitude of data vulnerability.
  • Risk Prioritization – Not all threats are created equal, so the test helps to identify what you should prioritize with your time and funding.
  • Compliance with Regulations – Whether for a governing body, a regulatory board, or cyber insurance, pen testing meets the standard of assessing your network for vulnerabilities.
  • Cost-effectiveness—Traditional pen tests are typically expensive because a team of experts must go on-site to conduct them. Our pen test allows a program to infiltrate your system and send data to a team of off-site engineers who can analyze your network’s strengths and weaknesses. The overhead and peripheral costs are lowered, allowing us to provide the same or better experience for a fraction of the cost.

Robust Incident Response and Disaster Recovery Plan

If everyone is going to be attacked, and if some attacks are going to succeed, then the resiliency of the business matters greatly. Eagle Secure Solutions will work with you and your staff to develop plans that give you a manual for recovery.  Either by working from one of our generic plans or crafting one of your own, you will have the roadmap to identify IT problems, develop the plan to resolve them and restore your systems as soon as possible.
