Core Competencies - Enterprise Management

At InquisIT, we believe that IT security is a twofold process, the first part being an educated customer aware of expectations and end user responsibility. One of the greatest threats to business computer systems, networks, and data isn't from hackers or competitors; it's from employees, partners, and other trusted insiders with authorized access to a company's networks, systems, and proprietary information. More than half of all breaches occur from within an organization.

Protecting systems from insiders requires equal attention and a different approach. At InquisIT, we believe the foundation is developing and enforcing security policies that can prevent insiders - either through negligence or bad intent - from damaging systems and data or opening holes that others can exploit. But because it's so difficult to design, implement, and enforce information-security polices, many companies don't create them; or they're written and ignored until security problems crop up. At InquisIT we take the time to evaluate our customer’s needs to determine the proper and correct internal policies that will still allow functionality while at the same time protecting the internal network and systems from externally introduced malware, spyware, and viruses.

The second part of the security process in securing relies heavily on patch management and software package updates. InquisIT's IT Security staff is deeply embedded in the IT security world. We stay abreast of the latest threats and strive to mitigate problems before they arise, even if the vendors have not supplied patches. We accomplish this by in depth knowledge and understanding of the threats and putting safeguards in place even before the vendor has released a patch.

We also believe strongly in stopping threats at the door before they make it into your house. We accomplish this through strict firewall policies as well as pattern detection and routing protocols. We provide the full spectrum of security services including perimeter security, security monitoring, strong authentication, operating system hardening, intrusion detection and prevention, Internet security and encryption solutions. Warding off the threat at the perimeter lessens the impact to the end user. At InquisIT, we feel that the best secured networks are ones where the customers are rarely impacted by warnings about the latest ecard or phishing threat. The best network and system security engineers should never be noticed if their jobs are done correctly.
