The following security services are provided to customers receiving hosting or cloud services from the Nics Data Center:
1) Firewall Service
The firewall management service performs user authentication, inspection and logging, and provides DoS attack protection and S2S and IPsec support. Dedicated and/or shared firewall management can be provided on request.
2) Load Balancing Service
When a website or company application faces heavy traffic, the extra load is distributed to different servers so that it keeps running without interruption, and redundancy is provided so that the service flows from another server until a problem on one server or application is resolved. Dedicated or shared service can be provided on request.
3) SSL VPN Service
Employees can connect securely to the company network over the internet without the need for any software or hardware.
- Dedicated SSL VPN: Service delivered on dedicated hardware for the company, with licensing and end-to-end client-to-site VPN support.
- Shared SSL VPN: Thanks to management from a central system, this service can be offered without hardware or licensing costs.
4) IPS/IDS Service
Attacks arriving at customer systems over the internet are detected in advance and blocked, protecting servers against attacks. Dedicated, shared and host-based IPS services are available on request.
5) Viruswall Service
E-mail content and attachments are scanned on an IP basis by antivirus and antispam servers before being delivered to the messaging server, protecting against malicious content.
6) Web Application Firewall
A service designed to protect web-based applications exposed to the internet, available as hardware or cloud-based protection.
Unlike traditional firewalls and IPS/IDS devices, it is not only signature-based; by analysing the traffic coming to applications and evaluating the results, it can block zero-day attacks.
7) Efficient IP-DNS
The Efficient IP DDI solution SOLIDserver is an appliance designed to deliver high-performance DNS, DHCP and IPAM services. Some of its distinctive features:
- DNS Guardian: Analyses DNS server transactions to provide high-performance attack detection during volumetric attacks, stealth attacks or DNS tunnelling attempts on trusted customer data. It provides statistics on its unique performance and reports on DNS traffic without the need for additional devices to collect statistics and create reports.
- DNS Firewall: Based on RPZ (Response Policy Zone), it offers a dedicated layer of defence to monitor and analyse DNS traffic and protect users and infrastructures against DNS-based malware. DNS Firewall prevents connected devices from being infected and blocks malware activity by allowing recursive DNS servers to stop or redirect queries from clients trying to reach domains and IPs known to be malicious. Infected devices can be identified and located on the network so the damage can be fixed quickly.
- Hybrid DNS: Integrated into the SOLIDserver appliance, it reduces zero-day vulnerabilities with two best-in-class DNS engines managed easily and transparently on a single device.
- DNS Blast: Delivers cache DNS performance of up to 17 million DNS QPS.
