Connectria utilizes a two-tier security architecture. The first tier of the architecture is implemented by redundant perimeter firewalls, based on the Cisco Secure IOS. The firewall protects against malicious hacking attempts and Denial of Service attempts. The second tier of the security architecture is implemented by the use of private, non-routable IP address spaces. In the unlikely event the firewall is breached, the servers behind the firewall cannot route traffic to the Internet. Connectria also provides Virus Scanning, Network-based Intrusion Detection, and Server-based Intrusion detection as part of our Enhanced Hosting Services, at additional costs.
Connectria monitors multiple channels of information in order to stay atop of the ever-changing security environment. Some of the sources utilized include CERT, BugTraq, Microsoft Security Bulletins and other vendor sites. Additionally, Connectria works with our Internet Service Providers to identify and respond to security challenges on the Internet.
In the event of a security notice, Connectria will review the notice and determine the criticality. If the notice is deemed to present a serious threat to our clients, the work-around or patches will be immediately implemented after approval from our clients. All notices are logged in our GWI change management and trouble ticketing system.
Connectria maintains physical security to our facilities by limiting access to the buildings where our data centers are housed as well as to the physical data centers within those buildings. All data centers are protected by multiple layers of security including multiple layers of electronic building & facility access secured by magnetic locks, 24/7 onsite-personnel, monitored and recorded closed-circuit television, person-traps, and mandatory identity logging of all outside visitors.
