As your trusted Network Service Provider, AhelioTech is here to help you understand the direction we see Cyber Security and Technology Liability Insurance moving. You may have already implemented some of these practices but as Cyber Security needs advance, AhelioTech continues to provide topics of discussion for your security posture. We have included some areas which customers like you are asking to discuss.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security product that is used to verify a user’s identity at login. It adds two or more identity verification steps to user logins by utilizing secure authentication tools. This is an additional layer of defense to prevent a breach on multiple local and/or mobile devices that may be difficult to secure otherwise.
AhelioTech recommends Duo Mobile for MFA to protect your local computer logins, Microsoft 365 logins, VPN and network remote access, along with many other applications. Securing your data at all levels and endpoints is made easier with MFA.
Phishing and Cyber Security User Training and Awareness
Approximately 90% of Cyber Security attacks and breaches occur due to phishing. The AhelioTech Phishing and Cyber Security User Training and Awareness Platform powered by Huntress Curricula addresses the boring ‘Death by PowerPoint’ information security awareness training that drives employees to resent security instead of embracing it. Our behavioral science approach trains employees using short, memorable stories based on real-world cyber-attacks.
It is a fact that user error is the weakest link in Technology and Cyber Security. AhelioTech helps educate your users of these potential pitfalls. Contact AhelioTech today to discuss training options.
EDR & MDR
EDR is the baseline monitoring and threat detection tool for endpoints and the foundation for every Cyber Security strategy. MDR rapidly identifies and limits the impact of threats without the need for constant human monitoring.
AhelioTech recommends Huntress to both manage Microsoft Defender and provide enhanced security layers via persistent foothold and ransomware canary monitoring, external recon, process insights and a threat ops team for active threat hunting.
Next-Generation Firewalls
Next Gen Firewalls (NGFWs) are deep-packet inspection firewalls that move beyond port/protocol inspection and blocking to add application-level inspection, intrusion prevention, and bring intelligence from outside the firewall.
AhelioTech recommends Fortinet firewalls to address the need for a NGFW. These firewalls can be licensed for many levels of protection, including the most common of protection levels – the UTP bundle, which includes FortiGuard IPS Service, FortiGuard Anti-Malware Protection (AMP) — Antivirus, Mobile Malware, Botnet, CDR, Virus Outbreak Protection and FortiSandbox Cloud Service, FortiGuard Web Security — URL and web content, Video and Secure DNS Filtering, FortiGuard Anti-Spam. Our trained professionals are here to help you determine what this means for your network security.
DKIM & DMARC
Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an email authentication technique that allows the recipient to confirm that an email was sent and authorized by the owner of that domain by giving the email a digital signature.
Once the recipient determines that an email is signed with a valid DKIM signature and confirms that the body of the message and attachments have not been modified, it allows the email to be delivered. DKIM signatures are hidden from end-users and validation is done on a server level preventing potential user error of opening malicious emails.
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) is an email authentication protocol. It gives email domain owners the ability to protect their domain from unauthorized use, commonly known as Email Spoofing. The purpose of implementing DMARC is to protect a domain from being used in email attacks.
AhelioTech has trained experts to assess your organization and determine the needed DKIM and DMARC protections.
Internal and External Security Scanning
AhelioTech Network Scanning and Threat Detection, powered by Nessus Professional vulnerability, scanning provides a point-in-time vulnerability scan for all network assets. Performing these scans allows for tracking and remediation of any identified security issues, as well as satisfies scanning requirements for many Cyber Security and Cyber Liability Insurance requirements.
