As network security threat vectors increase in both number and complexity the challenge of maintaining and adapting to these evolving threats has become more critical than ever. With each new attack vector it seems as if security vendors are pitching a new "comprehensive turn key security solution" to quench all of your security challenges. Nearly in parallel with these new security considerations are the mounting regulatory requirements that many firms must adhere to. So how do we manage all of these?

A Proven Methodology:
Softcode Digital Security consultants have successfully assisted dozens of clients in designing, consolidating, and implementing enterprise wide security solutions. From host based intrusion detection, to the design of multi national Security Operations Centers we have the breadth and depth of knowledge to manage a diverse range of security and operational challenges.
For all security infrastructures to be effective they must be both manageable and scalable. A variety of other considerations must be included in any plausible design.
• Business needs/goals
• Support staff and applicable skill sets
• Designing for future expansion/merger plans
• Budget
• Vendor consolidation
• Regulatory, compliance, client, and partner requirements
• Scalability
• Remote access requirements

Current applications, appliance and vendor considerations:
Many security vendors and consultancies approach a network redesign with the hope of introducing expensive new hardware appliances or security software solutions. Put simply, the introduction of a new vendor solution doesn't equal stronger security. Many times it complicates operations, can require a new skill set, hired hand, or managed service in order to manage this new solution, and ultimately becomes shelfware. Softcode Digital Security consultants recommend first rate solutions without bias and where possible without the need for added operational burdens or skill sets.
Improved security does not end with infrastructure re-designs. Our consultants understand that security goes well beyond a new firewall, vulnerability scan, and patching. Processes are as important as the technologies that are implemented. With this in mind we make recommendations for improvement in processes where it will benefit an organizations security response capabilities, maintenance, and overall security posture.
Finally, our consultants couple their deep seated technical knowledge with years of project management experience to assist in timely, effective, and on budget delivery of all new security infrastructures and processes.
