Network Security
Information is easily the most valuable asset of any organization.Is the information system vulnerable to external attacks? How does one know what is the risk to one’s business? And how much is the risk? How does one protect vital information resources from hackers, competitors & unauthorised internal users? Does one have the right internal controls in place? And where does one begin?
These are some of the most basic questions that haunt the CIO’s & information system managers of many organizations whose primary role is to allow uninterrupted, secure IS access to authorised personnel & keep the unauthorised hackers at bay. While it is true that most of us are aware of the importance of IS security, seldom are we aware of what does it take to succeed in a security mission
Why Outsource?
Reducing costs associated with installing, maintaining and monitoring security hardware and software & thus avoid capital expenditure.
Non requirement of personnel as that much of security requires specialized tasks and dedicated & trained staff. The cost implications of maintaining such trained staff (if available) on your payrolls is upward of USD 60,000.00 a year & it does not include the cost associated with turnover & recruitment or the technological cost to implement the security measures
Current Services Offered
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) & Analysis
This service includes active monitoring of the customer premise network, anomalous data analysis for possible cyber attacks, IP thefts, breaches of policy, etc.
Penetration and Vulnerability Testing
Vulnerability scans include one-time or periodic software scans or hacking attempts in order to find vulnerabilities in a technical and logical perimeter. It does not however, assess security throughout the network.
Penetration testing includes internet penetration, dial-up penetration / war dialing, social engineering, denials of service, physical access, even to the point of stealing a laptop or breaking into a home system
These services include scanning the exposed or real IP address (web servers, email servers, proxies) owned by the organization and scanning the internal (private) network for any kind of vulnerabilities and holes that would lead to intrusion or any kind of hacking activity. The services can be broadly divided into
External Assessment: This Involves outside evaluation of your network and systems to determine if any vulnerability exists. The service involves probing your router, firewall, servers and other network devices with the various tools that the hacker community uses to invade and exploit your network
External Assessment inspects your systems and procedures from the same vantagepoint as computer criminals. This uncovers any bugs, existing vulnerabilities and any other possible vulnerability that could create new opportunities for hackers.
Our External Assessment consists of a series of scans to uncover the weaknesses or holes in your networks and systems. You receive a complete report of our findings, including a detailed risk assessment and recommendations on how to fix detected vulnerabilities
We can work alongside your IT staff to implement practical solutions that will improve your security posture
Internal Assessment: Internal Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your security from inside your organization. We will examine all aspects of your systems and procedures, such as general security practices, network vulnerability, firewall readiness, encryption methods, access control logical and physical) and virus protection procedures. Internal Assessment evaluates potential risks within your network and systems that could be exploited.
We will also work with you to create the proper combination of policies, procedures and technological solutions for securing your network. This may mean implementing the changes recommended from our initial assessment or providing subsequent assessments
Firewall Implementation & Management
This service installs and upgrades the firewall (software & hardware), virtual private network (VPN) & commonly performing configuration changes.
Future Services
On-Site consulting
This is customized assistance in the assessment of business risks, key business requirements for security and the development of security policies and processes. It includes comprehensive security architecture assessments and design (including technology, business risks, technical risks and procedures). The consulting also includes security product integration and on-site incident response and forensics. Fire – fighting & emergency solutions are part of this service.
Managed security monitoring
This is the day-to-day monitoring and interpretation of important system events throughout the network, including unauthorized behavior, malicious hacks and denials of service (DoS), anomalies and trend analysis
Compliance monitoring
This includes monitoring event logs not for intrusions, but change management. This service will identify changes to a system that violate a formal security policy —for example, if a rogue administrator grants himself or herself too much access to a system. In short, it measures compliance to a technical risk model.Global Development Center - The Concept

- Reduced management overheads
High quality deliverables through quality optimized processes. CyberQuest Systems has successfully established operational global Development Centers in USA and Canada.
CyberQuest Systems combines off-shore and on-site execution, seamlessly in an innovative manner to provide an optimum combination of services, which reduces costs and development cycle time.
These are specifically tailored to meet your specific requirements and offer you the best value for money. Activities during the software development life cycle (SDLC) which involve extensive interaction with the user, they are usually provided on-site at the customer's location. And once the function or design specifications are clear the activities are typically moved offshore.
E.g. - The initial systems study and high level design are executed on-site. The low-level design, development or conversion takes place off-shore.
