Application Security

Secure Networks offers firewall protection that secures your web servers from malicious traffic and prevents attacks to compromise your system. We offer WAF services by our vendor (F5) that utilizes both negative and positive security models for identifying, isolating and blocking sophisticated attacks that may affect legitimate application transactions. It identifies malicious bots that bypass standard detection methods and mitigates threats before they do damage. It deals with mitigations that learn and adapt to your unique application layer user interaction patterns to enable dynamic defences based on changing conditions. Dynamic traffic pattern learning and behavioral analysis enable real-time identification and response to new application attacks with minimal admin intervention.

Two Factor Authentication, Encryption and HSM

Secure Networks provides Gemalto’s TFA for our customers to protect respective data and identities from cyber attacks. TFA services are based on various technologies, the most prominent ones are One Time Passwords (OTPs) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). We offer PKI encryption key management solutions to help you protect the keys at the heart of PKI as well as PKI-based authentication tokens that leverage the security benefits offered by PKI to deliver dependable identity protection. In order to determine which one is more suitable for your needs, it is essential to understand the difference between the two.

One Time Passwords (OTPs)

• This is a symmetric authentication in which one time password is generated in two places simultaneously – on authentication server and on hardware token or software token under user’s possession.
• If the OTP generated by your token is a match with OTP generated by authentication server, only then access is granted.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

• This is an asymmetric authentication which depends on a series of dissimilar encryption keys – a private key and a public encryption key.
• Hardware PKI certificate based tokens like USB tokens and smart cards are created to store your secret encryption key.
• When authenticating to your enterprise network server, for example, the server issues a numeric ‘challenge.’ That challenge is signed using your private encryption key. If there’s a mathematical correlation, or ‘match,’ between the signed challenge and your public encryption key (known to your network server), then authentication is successful and you’re granted access to the network.
• In PKI authentication, a private encryption key is used, which is non-transferrable when stored in hardware token. Given its asymmetric nature, PKI is used in many parts of the world for higher assurance use cases.

HSMs

• HSMs are designed to provide a more secure, hardware-based environment within which private keys are generated, stored, and used— eliminating the risks associated with storing private keys in a more vulnerable software repository.
• By providing physical and logical isolation of key materials from the computers and applications that use them, HSMs make it almost impossible to extract key materials through traditional network attacks.
• Additionally, tamper-resistant physical designs, coupled with strict operational policies, ensure that direct physical attack and attacks from trusted insiders are negated.
• HSMs can be easily adapted to provide secure generation and storage for SSL private keys, preventing the compromise of keys by adding the assurance of hardware-secured key management to secure websites
