Sarenet delves into managed security services

Written by Amy Ralls | Oct 26, 2018 4:00:00 AM

Sarenet has developed its own firewall to protect applications hosted in its cloud and performs security audits of its clients' devices.

Sarenet takes a new step in its service offering with a decided commitment to managed security with an adaptable and configurable proposal to the needs of each organization and which according to the company is especially attractive for companies that want security in different layers (LAN, WAN or the perimeter of the network) or who wish to outsource everything related to cybersecurity in their headquarters.

Fortinet's MSSP Gold Partner in Sarenet's managed security offering highlights traditional firewalls, as well as application firewalls and perimeter defense against denial of service (DDoS) attacks.

To cover the need to protect applications hosted on servers in its cloud, Sarenet has developed a proprietary firewall that also includes balancing and caching functionality. With this service, it minimizes the risk posed by the security vulnerabilities of the most used CMSs (Content Management Systems).

On the other hand, the DDoS attacks force to be on permanent alert. Sarenet has developed a novel system that allows you to cut attacks to IPs on your perimeter trunk routers, leaving all attack traffic off even from your network. The great advantage is that the system can be managed by the client by installing temporary filters in the border routers to protect their service during the attack.

Evolutionary security audits

As part of its new service offering, the company launches evolving security audits for clients, designing contingency plans so that in case of disaster they can be activated in a secure and transparent way from an external environment.

The client has a panel where he can see his devices scored by the level of security they have. By selecting one, you can see the evolution of the security of the team, its vulnerabilities and how to solve them. With this tool, the client always has an updated image of the security of their assets, being able, in addition, to request the intervention of a Sarenet technician to solve the problem indicated by the system. For Aitor Jérez, commercial director of Sarenet, "this is an important change regarding traditional audits that as a result give us a static picture of the state of our equipment and that blindly leaves us until the execution of the next one".

With 23 years of experience in providing IT services to companies, Sarenet is able to offer the widest range of solutions to be able to comprehensively manage all the IT service needs of any organization.
