READI Systems takes a comprehensive look at all aspects of the virtual infrastructure and storage to protect data to complement a robust application of security. It is about the data. Protecting the data and preventing exfiltration and unauthorized modifications takes strategic application of protections that does well beyond the choice of development language or deployment mechanisms. The Cloud has enabled customers to one stop shop applications and license security enablers. The Complete Website Security needs to include all aspects.
Inclusion of virtual firewalls, intra and extranet concepts to isolate business units and vertical supply chain interactions is a must. READI Systems acknowledges that customers do not always know the system to system or application to data consumer interactions to develop heuristics. We will help establish norms and Cloud based audit triggers so that learned system behaviors will be incorporated in application firewalls and audit standard operating procedures.
READI Systems uses automated security test tools and regression testing to determine if releases introduce security flaws or the existing baselines is vulnerable to the latest vulnerabilities exploited across the internet. We make sure that reports are compared and the National Vulnerability Database, scanners and vendor sites are monitored with respect to each customer’s software baseline as part of security configuration management processes. Working with devops tools and delivery mechanisms, we focus on repeatable processes and regression testing to ensure the systems remain secure.
Cloud architecture is an opportunity for our customers to transfer risk by having Cloud Provider solutions implemented. Historically, customer sensitive data has been kept on its internal datacenter assets. With the continued migration to the Cloud, infrastructure security must address hybrid architectures. As Cloud cost realization becomes part of the design tenants of performance and capacity planning – it is even more crucial that the infrastructure security elements provide virtual private network connectivity at all levels of communications. READI Systems is expert in the assessment and execution of cloud migrations and hybrid cloud initiatives. The Cloud solutions are only as secure as the design, implementation and anomaly detection efforts implemented by the customer’s internal IT teams. We go the extra mile beyond design to include documentation and training of customer personnel so that they can be self-sufficient in the daily security operations. Infrastructure security is the first line of defense and perimeter security capabilities must be layered to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the data.
READI Systems provides solutions that ensure daily operational security. Many do. READI Systems designs per its namesake (Resilient Enterprise Architecture Design Integrators) goes beyond lights on. It pulls into the design mission continuity and planning to implement layers of recovery point strategies and expectations with the cost models. It has experience in data and website replication with hot-hot, hot-warm and cold recovery site emergency implementations for grid down recovery project management. We acknowledge while natural disasters and utility challenges exist, it is more likely an inadvertent administrative delete, insider or hacker incident that will corrupt or disable a mission. READI Systems prides itself to become a mission enabler for the life of the systems it supports.
Customer availability, data sensitivity, environmental challenges and that of its customer base are considered by READI Systems beyond the traditional compliance scan reports and remediation work. It has fundamentally been ahead of the curve with risk strategy formulation and development than the Mitre ATTACK Framework and NIST National Vulnerability website of CVSS version 3 scoring system to include geographic considerations in the system and data security it its modeling. Risk management includes the application of resources (thinking money) to address systems short comings to include personnel weaknesses. READI Systems partners with the customer to address these risk elements before the system is compromised and others say I told you so. READI Systems wants to put the customer in the position to acknowledge risk decisions based on resource funding such that if double points of failure occur, it wasn’t a surprise.
