Home Services Consult And Change Secure Information Network Security

Network Security

With IT increasingly converging, optimal security is an essential element. Computacenter's Network Security services enable customers to reduce risk through the implementation of cost-effective and compliant security solutions

A service component of our Secure Information solution.

What we do

A secure networked environment underpins an organisation's ability to deliver IT services in a protected, consistent and risk mitigated manner.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach, which is why Computacenter takes a holistic view of an organisation's security needs, risks and challenges. Our services include:

• Network Technology Evaluation:
  We assess an organisations current technologies and new products to define the most cost-effective security framework for the organisation.
  
• Identity and Access Management:
  From federated identities to security tokens, we can define and deploy the technologies needed to prevent unauthorised access.
  
• Vulnerability Lifecycle Management:
  Gain a better understanding of the security risks facing an organisation and how to remediate them.
  
• Policy Compliance Management:
  Computacenter will map the organisations security measures to current legislation and industry mandates to identify any gaps and enhance performance.

How it helps

Computacenter will enable organisations to develop a network security blueprint that is structured, efficient, controlled and assured.

This will result in:

• Reduced risk: With stronger network security defences, the organisation and its data will be less exposed to internal and external threats, preventing downtime and boosting shareholder and customer confidence.
  
• Lower costs: By reducing the risk of a security breach, organisations will be protected against expensive data loss or financial penalties arising from non-compliance. Computacenter also help to identify the most appropriate risk/cost balance for your organisation and optimise your security solutions to reduce expenditure.
  
• Greater agility: With assured levels of network security, new business services can be deployed more quickly and with less associated risk and expense.
  
• Compliance: Maintaining compliance is a major financial and operational cost. Computacenter services not only help to determine the current state of compliance but equally designs and deploys solutions to ease the ongoing management of the security compliance challenge.

Why we are different

Our network security services underpin the Computacenter 'end to end' datacenter aligned approach to IT service and solution delivery. They are pragmatic and vendor-independent. They are all based on the same solid foundations:

• Skilled resources: Computacenter has a dedicated networking and security practice with fully qualified BS7799 and CISSP consultants. In addition industry security specialisations, our consultants are highly vendor trained and possess a deep understanding of high impact security considerations, including PCI DSS.
  
• Breadth and depth: We have more than 20 years' experience delivering networking and security solutions, and can meet all an organisation's security requirements – from solution evaluation and design to implementation and support. We have a highly-scalable supply chain providing access to a broad security product portfolio.
  
• Quality of partnership: We have long-term relationships with a number of vendors, including Check Point, Juniper, Cisco, McAfee, Microsoft, Palo Alto, RSA and Symantec. We continually update our security solution
  portfolio in accordance with changing regulatory and compliance frameworks.

Where we have done it

AEGON UK
"The security infrastructure implemented by Computacenter has helped us ensure that the mobility solution adheres to our own internal policies as well as those set down by external parties. Computacenter helped ensure the desktop migration was completed on time and in budget. We now have a more stable and secure desktop environment.

At the same time as increasing the flexibility of our sales force, we had to ensure that customer and corporate data was protected allowing staff to access applications through public wi-fi hotspots could expose the AEGON network to malicious activity. We had to minimise these vulnerabilities and the business risk inherent with remote access solutions."
