Helping Your Business Effect a Truly Robust Security Posture

Network & Data Security is, singularly, the widest ranging and most important consideration for any Enterprise Network.  Modern-day security threats require us to do more than just defend the ‘Edge’. We are now required to implement multiple layers of security across our networks and end user devices. GGR Communications are proven experts in this field and hold Cisco’s Advanced Network Security Architecture Specialisation. This makes us ideally placed to help your business realise true peace of mind for the security of your Corporate and Customer data, be it at the network perimeter, at user’s end points or in the Cloud.

Next Generation Firewalls

Protecting your business against today’s sophisticated malicious attacks means deploying the industry’s latest Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW). These devices go beyond access control and filtering. Through Cisco’s Secure Firewall range, GGR Communications can help ensure that your network and data security systems can automate responses to network breaches using intelligence provided by Cisco’s Talos Team. Talos is a leading commercial threat intelligence team, analysing threats at scale across the globe every day and building protections against emerging attacks. Combined with Cisco’s Secure Firewall appliances, Talos threat intelligence helps organisations stay ahead of high-profile breaches and large-scale ransomware and supply-chain attacks.

Allied with Cisco’s Secure Firewall range is the Firewall Management Center (FMC), providing broad visibility across your network. It continuously monitors for suspicious activity, helps detect and stop threats, prioritises alerts, correlates threat information and automates networking and security operations. Using Cisco’s Secure Firewall solutions across its 1200, 3100 and 4200 Series appliances, virtual platforms and Meraki MX models, GGR Communications can deliver Application Visibility and Control, Next-Generation IPS, Advanced Malware Protection, URL filtering and DDoS mitigation.

DNS Level Security

Through DNS (Domain Name System) level security, GGR Communications can provide solutions that protect your organisation’s users from accessing harmful data on the Internet. Through Cisco Secure Access, GGR can provide DNS and Intelligent Proxy services, providing protection when users access data outside the traditional security perimeter. Secure Access DNS provides inspection, reputation analysis and traffic filtering, helping organisations protect users without relying solely on their in-house DNS server or ISP service.

With Umbrella, your business can help prevent phishing, malware and ransomware. Cisco Umbrella processes billions of requests each day, using threat intelligence to identify attacker infrastructure and block malicious requests before users are affected. Umbrella also provides visibility into Internet activity across locations, devices and users, helping organisations understand and manage security threats while reducing the risk of malicious activity reaching their network.

MultiForm Factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication, or MFA, is an approach to protecting your users’ login credentials against attacks such as keystroke logging and man-in-the-middle attacks. MFA requires the presentation of two or more independent authentication factors. MFA allows users to authenticate themselves to servers and applications using a simple-to-operate and simple-to-deploy solution, with a variety of convenient methods to verify their identity. These can include a code on a token, a push notification to a mobile application or a phone call-back.

Here at GGR Communications, we provide a range of 2FA/MFA solutions to fit different organisational requirements, including Cisco Duo, RSA SecurID Access and Dell Defender. All passwords are vulnerable, and compromised credentials can provide attackers with access to your systems. MFA is therefore an essential element of a modern-day security policy, providing an additional layer of protection against unauthorised access.

Context-Aware Security

With the sheer volume of information being processed by organisations, keeping pace with ever-developing security needs is one of the most important and challenging considerations for your IT infrastructure. Via the deployment of Context-Aware security measures, GGR Communications can assist your Security Team in gaining better network visibility and intelligence, allowing them to continuously monitor, detect, analyse and respond to advanced threats before, during and after attacks.

Context-Aware security solutions can enable your business to assess external requests for data based on user identity, location, time and application awareness. This information is collected by network sensors and analysed through advanced security algorithms and continuously updated threat feeds, allowing for real-time detection of security incidents and automated mitigation methods.

Context-Aware Security provides a robust yet flexible security model that allows each potential threat to be addressed individually rather than applying a blanket response, which can be disruptive and costly. This approach allows users to access the data they need while quarantining questionable users and blocking attacks, helping protect your data, bottom line and business reputation.
