Net Direct Systems

Businesses today demand an all-encompassing view of security combined with robust, proven security technologies that protect them from threats and vulnerability. Maintaining the integrity of your security infrastructure is critical to your continued success, and requires an in depth knowledge of the latest technology and how to apply it to your specific business requirements.

NDS security professionals come from a variety of backgrounds – from government and DoD to Fortune 500 companies. Each of our highly skilled professionals brings a broad range of experience and expertise in dealing with multiple facets of security - from policy and procedures to implementing specific vendor architectures.

NDS personnel are highly skilled, heavily certified professionals active in organizations that reflect their expertise. Organizational memberships include the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) and the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2. Certifications held by NDS staff include, but are not limited to:

• CISSP
• CISA
• SCSE
• SCSP
• CCSE+
• CCSI

Furthermore, NDS personnel have or are participating on the advisory boards of organizations such as McAfee, Inc., Secure Computing, Inc., and Computer Associates, Inc. Demonstrating the broad base of knowledge, NDS security personnel hold in excess of 17 patents. Our technical depth, solid security expertise and keen insight stand ready to help you develop a network security infrastructure that is resistant to disruption or failure, designed for rapid recovery, flexible, adaptive, scalable and highly secure.

Secure. Scalable. Reliable.

NDS security solutions and services cover several functional areas – including legal and compliance - and our heavily certified team has developed practices and procedures to assess, plan, design, implement and manage comprehensive security solutions as well as provide training for your staff. Many of our security consultants are also multi-disciplined in other specialty areas such as data network design, and server administration. As a result, NDS can offer a broad knowledge base of related requirements rather than just a single point solution.

♦ Assessments — The NDS Security Assessment is a comprehensive, operational review or "snapshot" of the current state of your network security environment. It helps determine what security vulnerabilities exist on your network, identifies their location, helps determine severity, and demonstrates how to effectively correct them. To address your specific business needs, NDS is able to perform assessments within an array of standards. Specific methodologies include:

• National Security Agency INFOSEC Assessment Methodology (NSA IAM)
• National Security Agency INFOSEC Evaluation Methodology (NSA IEM)
• Open Source Testing Technical Manual (OSTMM)
• National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

♦ Planning & Design — Whether it’s policy writing and validation or technical mapping of an environment, NDS personnel have the experience and tools to design a comprehensive security solution for your organization.

Short-range tactical fixes are appropriate for environments with major security problems, but to appropriately align risk management using cost effective, repeatable processes, NDS utilizes proven fundamentals. While an organization may have skilled staff configuring and maintaining the security infrastructure, losing a staff member to a competitor could severely impact the ability of your organization to protect itself.

♦ Implementation — Whether it’s speeding time to deployment, improving the repeatability of deployments across sites or addressing multi-vendor challenges, NDS stands ready to help. Our previous experience and proven, repeatable processes enable:

• Quicker deployments
• Multi-Vendor Integration
• Experience in similar organizations
• World-class documentation
• Repeatable, expected processes

♦ Security Managed Services — Whether augmenting existing staff or providing additional capabilities, NDS can provide you with the ability to accurately project costs, assign SLAs and rapidly react to security events. With a focus on training and knowledge transfer, we empower your existing team to tightly integrate the right people, technology, and processes to ensure the continuity of your organizational security even after we leave your site.

♦ Legal & Regulatory Compliance — Industry regulations can significantly impact your organization’s security strategy. For example, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA and other regulations require Internet communications are secure and protected. The NDS Security team can help you identify the proper technology and control measures to support your compliance program.

We have the experienced personnel ready to support you in developing, deploying, and monitoring all your compliance policies in a consistent, sustainable and automated fashion. Our comprehensive approach ensures policies evolve to counteract the continuously adjusting landscape of regulations and threats.

♦ Secure Wireless — Similar to any wired network, a WLAN requires a comprehensive security solution to guard against intruders and hackers. However, the security needed is completely different because a WLAN's vulnerabilities are in the air. The airwaves surrounding a WLAN must be constantly monitored and protected to ensure the security of enterprise wireless LANs. NDS solutions can enable you to leverage the benefits of enterprise wireless LANs with the peace of mind that your data and corporate networks are secure.
