Introduction
A secure network is the backbone of any modern organisation. Cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, targeting vulnerabilities that, if left unchecked, can cripple businesses. At Pickle, our Cyber Security Remediation Services go beyond identifying vulnerabilities—we implement comprehensive measures to strengthen your network security and ensure operational resilience.
This article explores how our remediation services fortify your network, safeguard your digital assets, and prepare your organisation for future challenges.
What Does Strengthening Network Security Mean?
Strengthening network security involves enhancing your organisation's infrastructure, systems, and policies to resist cyberattacks. It includes closing existing vulnerabilities, deploying advanced security tools, and implementing best practices to reduce exposure to threats.
Key areas of focus include:
Securing access points.
Detecting and mitigating intrusions.
Safeguarding sensitive data.
Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
How Pickle Enhances Network Security
1. Comprehensive Network Assessment
Pickle starts with a detailed review of your current network infrastructure to pinpoint vulnerabilities and areas of improvement. This includes:
Infrastructure Mapping: Understanding the layout of your network, including endpoints, servers, and cloud services.
Vulnerability Analysis: Identifying gaps such as outdated software, weak configurations, and unpatched systems.
Traffic Monitoring: Analysing network traffic to detect abnormal patterns that may indicate threats.
2. Firewall and Perimeter Security
Firewalls are the first line of defence against cyberattacks. Pickle ensures your firewall is robust and up to date:
Rule Optimisation: Configuring firewalls to allow legitimate traffic while blocking suspicious activities.
Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW): Deploying advanced firewalls with intrusion prevention, application filtering, and real-time analytics.
Perimeter Monitoring: Setting up alerts to track unauthorised access attempts.
3. Securing Remote Access
With remote work becoming the norm, securing remote access points is critical. Pickle fortifies your network with:
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs): Encrypting data transmitted between remote users and your network.
Zero Trust Architecture: Verifying every access request, regardless of location, before granting permissions.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Adding layers of verification to protect user accounts.
4. Advanced Threat Detection
Proactively identifying threats is essential to stay ahead of attackers. Pickle uses advanced tools and techniques to monitor your network:
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): Aggregating and analysing security data for real-time threat detection.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Identifying malicious activity on endpoints like laptops and mobile devices.
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS): Automatically blocking suspicious activities before they cause harm.
5. Data Encryption and Protection
Protecting sensitive data is at the heart of network security. Pickle implements encryption and data protection measures such as:
End-to-End Encryption: Securing data during transmission and storage.
Data Classification Policies: Defining how different types of data should be handled and protected.
Secure Backups: Regularly backing up data to prevent loss during a breach or ransomware attack.
6. Network Segmentation
Segmenting your network reduces the risk of widespread damage in case of a breach. Pickle helps with:
Critical Asset Isolation: Separating sensitive systems from less critical ones.
Access Control Lists (ACLs): Defining who can access specific parts of the network.
Micro-Segmentation: Creating smaller, isolated zones within the network for added security.
7. Regular Patch Management
Unpatched systems are a primary target for attackers. Pickle ensures all software and hardware are up to date:
Automated Updates: Reducing delays in deploying critical patches.
Vendor Coordination: Ensuring third-party tools are patched for known vulnerabilities.
Patch Testing: Verifying updates to prevent compatibility issues.
8. Training and Awareness
Employees play a vital role in maintaining network security. Pickle provides:
Cybersecurity Training: Educating staff on recognising phishing attempts and secure password practices.
Incident Response Drills: Preparing teams to react quickly and effectively during cyber incidents.
Policy Reinforcement: Ensuring adherence to security protocols.
