Security

Privacy and security are growth areas. The days of complacency are over and many servers (and the data centres they are in) now require the highest levels of physical and technical security. This means that due diligence is more important than ever and that it will soon be mandatory for many servers (and companies) to meet security standards such as AS/NZS 7799.
 
ICO will help you to meet the highest security standards. We have our own qualified security personnel and we employ the services of two consultant teams. Here are some typical ICO security services:
 
Firewalls
 
Firewalls are managed by security specialists and deployed in a “private IP” space, while customer servers and routers are segregated in Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN). Network security features also include multi-level privileges, OS lockdowns, centralised authentication and device change logs.
 
Security Patching
 
By constantly updating our security systems, we ensure optimum protection for our customers. We monitor and address emerging threats, and quickly process and apply new security patches.
 
Threat Analysis
 
ICO is constantly working on identifying and addressing security weaknesses in servers, applications and activities.
 
Security Testing Laboratory
 
ICO subjects all high security devices to full security testing before they are deployed — including the installation and configuration of the Operating System, the disabling of vulnerable or unneeded services, and advanced vulnerability tests.
 
Certified Engineers and Security Teams
 
To ensure a fast response to a security event, qualified personnel are available 24x7x365. Our security specialists have earned Certified Information System Security Professional certifications (ISO/IEC 17024) and we have working relationships with other security response teams.
