Viruses, unauthorized access, and network intrusions are crippling U.S. business networks, violating the security of companies’ mission-critical data. At a minimum, poor network performance is the result. At its worst, companies are faced with increased liabilities, financial losses, and even bankruptcy.

Internet Vulnerability – Our IPtimize Internet Security Evaluation (“ISE”) provides a simple, cost effective solution for determining an organization’s actual Internet security vulnerabilities in real time. ISE is a series of non-intrusive tests that determines a client’s level of exposure to attacks and also recommends a course of remediation. This service is designed to be run on a monthly basis in order to keep up with the constantly changing security threats.

Our ISE service remotely tests the vulnerability of your network against more than 6,000 known Internet security threats from our IP Management Center (IPMC) in Denver. Our trained security experts identify vulnerabilities in your network, assessing the risk of each threat and a current threat matrix report. The result is a detailed report that also provides repair information to repair the vulnerabilities.

Spam Reduction – Industry experts estimate that as much as 65% of all email traffic is spam. This onslaught of “junk email” can have significant negative effects on employee productivity and therefore the profitability of an organization. Our IPtimize family of email Filtering Services allows our clients to gain control of their email environment without any investment in hardware, software or labor.

Information Protection – This suite of products brings a collection of industry best practice security technology and processes well within reach of the small and medium sized business. The first layer of perimeter security is a system called a firewall. Our IPtimize Managed Firewall Service provides a best of breed hardware appliance; management, monitoring, and reporting; and professional services to ensure proper configuration; all for a cost-effective monthly fee. Additional products provide further levels of alerting and reporting of security events as well as organization-wide Internet Security Policy Definition and Implementation.

Internet Usage Controls – The Internet has changed how organizations gather and exchange information. However, it has also created the opportunity for employees to easily engage in non- business activities. Our Internet Usage and Internet Content Filtering services allow our clients to observe and control the activities of their employees. An additional benefit is the avoidance of potential legal issues concerning objectionable web site content.

Technology Environmental Controls – The rapid pace of change in the technology industry has allowed organizations to implement powerful computer systems in a cost effective manner. Very few organizations have been able to maintain control of their technology environments from a documentation, process, and procedure perspective. This includes a systematic collection of Configuration Information and Documentation Processes, including asset management, software license compliance and business continuity. It is very difficult, if not impossible, for an organization to adapt to change when they do not know what they have.

Real Time Transport Monitor – The expectation of a data network is that it always works, and always performs at the same level. The complexity of data transport technology, coupled with the changes in a client’s business needs and corresponding use of technology, make this an unreasonable expectation. Utilizing a sophisticated operational system at our IPMC , we are able to perform Real Time Monitoring of all elements of data transport for our clients. In addition to the generation of alerts for anomalous behaviors, performance data is collected, processed, and used to generate reports for trend analysis and capacity planning.

Real Time Resource Monitor – The same level of expectations for the data network applies to the servers and applications running on that network. Through the use of “agent-based” appliance software, our IPMC monitors the key software processes for our clients. This Real Time Transport Monitor follows the same methodology as event handling and report generation.

Anytime Anywhere Workplace – Today’s organizations can greatly benefit from anytime / anywhere access to their information systems. Our IPtimize Secure Remote Access service greatly expands the reach of a client’s network, supporting traditional remote access locations of home and hotel, as well as Internet cafes, kiosks, and Wi-Fi Hot Spots. The remote system requirements are exceedingly simple: an Internet connected PC running a web browser. All administration and monitoring tasks are performed by the IPMC , making this service simple to implement and extremely cost effective.

Right Sourcing – Today’s market offers a multitude of options as to where business critical systems and applications can physically reside. Through partnerships with best of breed hosting and co-location providers, IPtimize helps our clients choose the right solution for their needs.

Future Applications – The flexible and scalable design of the IPtimize IP Managed Services portfolio allows us to quickly and easily incorporate new services in response to technology changes and market demands.
