Security

Don’t let tight deadlines compromise the security of your content and your customers

As we’ve been working commercially with software for quite some time, we are very aware of the common pitfalls that cause the majority of on-line hacking “success” stories. It doesn’t take much to prevent attacks such as direct DoS, just an experienced firewall author and a relentless eye for detail!

Preventing common pitfalls is just the beginning of what we can offer. Our “white hat” hackers are trained using the same techniques as malicious “black hat” hackers and know how they think. By continuing to train and keep up with the latest security threats, we are able to help you stay one step ahead of malicious internet users.

Having an internal IT department which is regularly trained the way our employees are trained, would cost significant time and money which, by hiring us, you can avoid.

Not only can we offer our digital security experience with you and implement your system in a way that avoids common security pitfalls, but we can also train you and your staff to avoid being vulnerable to “social engineering” attacks, whereby hackers attempt to extract information (some of which may not be directly sensitive, but combined with other snippets can produce assumptions or conclusions) which can lead to a successful breach or intrusion.

By working with us at an early stage of your product, the security can be considered from the very inception of the product, ensuring every level and stage is as secure as possible. We can’t guarantee your system will never be hacked (no system is ever 100% safe as software and TCP/IP networks are by design not secure or meant to be locked down).

Technologies such as Firewalls, encryption, digital signatures, use of IPv6, along with well trained and vigilant staff can all work as a synergy to help you become as secure as possible.

Once you have established a team and are moving forward with your project, hiring us to do regular security reviews can help take advantage of our knowledge. If you hired us to do your prototyping, we’ll already know the system well enough to get stuck in quicker than any other consultancy company!
