System Defense  Consistent with all Perimeter Intrusion Defense solutions, our philosophical approach to System Defense is to stop viruses before they reach you. In order to do this, a comprehensive multi-layered defense is required.
In today's environment, most organizations rely solely on a desktop anti virus solution as their virus defense. Unfortunately, Malware seems to find its way into their networks anyway. In fact, of all the problems that are encountered in IT, few are as prevalent and costly as Malware attacks. The bottom line is that successful anti virus defense is no longer a matter of simply installing an application at the desktop or server level. Malware is an increasingly complex and constantly evolving area of network security.
Perimeter has developed a multi-layered defense approach that combines the best aspects of both human analysis and intervention to combat zero-day exploits (new viruses) and best-of-breed technologies for ongoing Malware defense.

Host Intrusion Prevention |
No security infrastructure that relies on a single prevention mechanism is complete. Some types of activity can only reliably be detected at the host level. A clever attacker can use tools to take control of a legitimate system to use as a source of attacks, further hiding activities by using only encrypted network protocols such as SSL preventing network based IDS/IPS from being able to detect the malicious activity. Malicious activity contained with encrypted network protocols cannot be detected by Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). Host Intrusion Prevention Services, or HIPS is therefore required to mitigate this vulnerability. Host-based Intrusion Prevention resides on the host and monitors the device at the operating system and application levels. This is extremely desirable because it is the applications and operating systems that are the direct targets of malicious attacks. The host sensor uses a variety of techniques to detect attacks and misuse on a protected system. These techniques include analyzing the security event log, checking the integrity of critical system files or checking the operating system kernel for compromises such as buffer overflows and denial of service. This hybrid analysis approach ensures that no misuse or attack goes undetected.
Perimeter's 24/7 Secure Operations Center Analysts deploy and manage the Host Intrusion Prevention devices. These devices identify and prevent malicious behavior, thereby eliminating known and unknown ("Day Zero") security risks and helping to reduce operational costs. They aggregate and extend multiple endpoint security functions by providing host intrusion prevention, distributed firewall capabilities, malicious mobile code protection, operating system integrity assurance, and audit log consolidation, all within a single product. Because they analyze behavior rather than relying on signature matching, it provides robust protection with reduced operational costs.
Host Intrusion Prevention goes beyond conventional endpoint security solutions by identifying and preventing malicious behavior before it can occur, thereby removing potential known and unknown security risks that threaten enterprise networks and applications. Because the device analyzes behavior rather than relying on signature matching, its solution provides robust protection with reduced operational costs. The service aggregates and extends multiple endpoint security functions by providing host intrusion prevention, distributed firewall, malicious mobile code protection, operating system integrity assurance, and audit log consolidation all within a single agent. |

In today's world, a company's business information can be one of its most valuable assets. Customer records, vendor lists, financial records, schedules and similar information can be worth an incalculable amount, and their loss due to a disk crash or inadequate backup procedure can cause serious business disruption. Unfortunately, many companies do not adequately safeguard their business information. Perimeter's Remote Backup service provides you with reliable, on-demand, online storage where you can flexibly and securely back up and recover your critical digital files. Don't let fire, flood, theft, hackers or equipment failures threaten your business with severe disruptions.
Perimeter's Remote Backup service captures and stores data from your environment by utilizing your existing Internet connection. Options can be selected for backup scheduling, and, after the initial full backup, delta backups are performed to reduce the time required and bandwidth used. Perimeter employs a combination of servers with carrier-class reliability, multiple redundant RAID-configured drives, and an enterprise-class network architecture to ensure that your critical business information has the highest level of protection.

Regulatory compliance whether Sarbanes-Oxley, California SB1386, GLBA, PCI or other requirements requires that your institution protect sensitive information at all times and guard against unauthorized access to that data. The key to complying with these regulations is to be able to monitor and enforce security policies at all times; especially with regards to critical system access.
Perimeter's System Access Audit/Alerting Service (SAAAS) is a reliable, proactive and practical enterprise class solution to centrally monitor and analyze critical system access records which are stored within Windows NT/2K/XP/2003, Novell Netware and Linux server SYSLOGs.
The SAAAS uncovers valuable system access data and trends that are buried within the vast amounts of information contained in SYSLOGs. This information would otherwise go unnoticed or would require near full time review and analysis to determine. The SAAAS creates an audit trail and alerts your authorized personnel of login attempt failures, lockout events, login/logout times as well as off hour system access. |

Perimeter's Policy Compliance service provides organizations with information to proactively measure comprehensive security best practices across the enterprise. This automated service helps compliance and security officers to better understand IT policies, implement industry-mandated compliance initiatives, and manage and monitor acceptance among designated departments and personnel.
Perimeter utilizes a comprehensive series of system security tests to measure various security aspects of the machines (workstations and servers) located on your network and compares the results with Perimeter's Recommended Security Policy. This Recommended Security Policy represents best practices for network security. The system security tests are based on seven top level categories of tests:
- Login Parameters
- System Auditing
- User Rights
- Security Mgmt
- Event Log Settings
- File Permissions
- Passwords
Policy compliance reports for each of these 7 test categories are made available daily through our secure web portal. |
