Cybersecurity

Our security experts will offer the ways of monitoring the robustness of your cyberenvironment against security threats, detecting vulnerabilities in your network or apps, improving the performance of your information security solutions, and ensuring the protection of your sensitive data.

We uncover security loopholes in the components of our customers’ IT environments. SIT ’s security team carefully checks the protection level of your IT infrastructure and defines measures to reduce the number of security weaknesses inside your network and apps. The complex of security testing services includes:

Infrastructure security audit

Our security team assesses your IT infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities in the following areas:

- Security policies and procedures.

- Security monitoring tools.

- Physical access control.

- Configuration management.

- Version control.

- Compliance testing

Our security engineers perform automated and manual scanning of your IT environment and its elements to ensure your compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other regulations and standards. On the basis of the testing results, the security team provides you with a detailed attestation letter.

Vulnerability assessment

SIT performs automated and manual security evaluation to detect vulnerabilities in their customers’ IT infrastructures. Our security testing team identifies, quantifies, and ranks network security weaknesses. Based on the assessment results, we give our customers recommendations to help them to eliminate security risks.

Penetration testing

SIT’s security testing team pinpoints system vulnerabilities, validates existing security measures, and provides a detailed remediation roadmap. Equipped with the special tools and industry-specific test scenarios, the team performs penetration testing according to one of the three approaches:

Black box testing. We work in life-like conditions having strictly limited knowledge on your network and no information on the security policies, network structure, software and network protection used.

Grey box testing. We examine your system having some information on your network, such as user login details, architecture diagrams or the network’s overview.

White box testing. We identify potential weak points by using admin rights and access to server configuration files, database encryption principles, source code or architecture documentation.

SIT ’s security testing team evaluates the stability of your infrastructure and its components by testing it beyond normal operational capacity with the use of special tools such as Siege and Apache JMeter. We apply our expertise to emulate denial of service (DoS) or distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against your network or applications to:

Determine whether the robustness of software or hardware is satisfactory under stress conditions (e.g., heavy network traffic, process loading).

Identify potential errors that can occur in case of system overloading.

ScienceSoft’s security engineers offer their knowledge of IBM Security QRadar to provide you with a 360-degree view of your IT environment and obtain accurate analytical data on security events in real time with a QRadar-based SIEM solution. We deliver a full range of QRadar-related services. QRadar consulting services. We help you to develop a relevant strategy to integrate QRadar smoothly into your corporate IT landscape. QRadar deployment architecture design. We draw up your QRadar’s technical design in accordance with collaboratively pre-set system requirements and make QRadar an integral part of your security network. QRadar deployment. We deploy QRadar to enable proper functioning of its modules and the platform’s high performance and scalability. QRadar fine-tuning. We connect log sources to QRadar, normalize data flowing to it, configure its modules to process events from multiple network objects, develop custom correlation rules to let QRadar reveal complex attacks and detect security offenses properly. Migration to QRadar. We shift your SIEM solution that fails to meet the security requirements to QRadar so that the platform helps you to identify occurring threats and respond to them properly. For an advanced health check of a QRadar solution, our SIEM consultants developed a standalone tool QLEAN for IBM Security QRadar SIEM. What QLEAN does: Provides automated monitoring of QRadar performance. Checks up a variety of essential QRadar performance parameters, such as EPS and FPI statistics, incoming log data quality, events and flows timelines. Assesses the received data with over 50 operational metrics and 25 health markers and reports it to QRadar administrators to let them investigate the platform’s performance issues one by one. Pinpoints possible deviations in QRadar performance that can impede security specialists to see the true security state. Recommends further improvements in QRadar configuration to eliminate the revealed downfalls.

In case a company decides on applying a special online solution, such as CloudFlare, to protect their network against DDoS attacks, ScienceSoft has the security experts with the skills in implementing and configuring such solutions properly. Our security engineers set them up to: Prevent disruptions inside your network occurring due to anomalous amounts of malicious traffic. Keep the components of your IT environment in a high availability state. Analyze cyberattacks quickly in case they occur and let you adjust the security policies applied inside the corporate network to avoid such cyberattacks in the future.

We can help our customers to keep their corporate information safe in email communication and secure from unauthorized access, loss, etc. ScienceSoft’s security experts will protect your network from phishing, spamming, malware, and other attacks against email services. Having worked with the solutions offered by major vendors, such as FortiGate and Cisco, we’ve gained the required experience to: Integrate an email security solution you choose into your company’s infrastructure to ensure its smooth operation. Perform the tuning of the chosen email security service to prevent your sensitive corporate data from being lost or (un)intentionally shared via email by your employees. Configure your email security solution properly to reduce the probability your company will face email security threats.

SIT’s security team implements and sets the security rules of special solutions to control incoming network traffic, scan it to detect and block potential attacks. We offer you the following cybersecurity measures to apply: Hardware or software firewall protection to avoid identity theft, malware, online fraud, and other common cyberthreats that may come from the internet. An intrusion detection system (IDS) to promptly warn your system administrators on suspicious activities inside your network, and an intrusion prevention system (IPS) to block the attacks before they turn into serious security issues. A data loss prevention (DLP) system to prevent critical corporate information from coming outside your network due to the users’ reckless behavior.

SIT’s security engineers configure antivirus protection to: Improve the security of the network from viruses, spyware, and other types of malicious software coming from the internet or external drives. Increase the protection of your network against phishing and spoofing internet attacks that aim at stealing your sensitive data. Provide your system administrators with advanced control over any web activities happening across your network to prevent various types of cyberthreats from affecting the security of your corporate data. Remove potentially harmful software and threats, thus blocking their way further inside your network.
