External Perimeter Monitoring Service

Know your Perimeter. Know your risk.

Organizations with significant Internet presence must vigilantly monitor the assets and vulnerabilities exposed to the Web. Modern, profit-driven hackers will continually evaluate your network looking for an entry point and automated Internet threats are now launched in mass to find and attack weak spots in enterprise networks. Security vigilance requires you to continuously audit the Internet perimeter for changes, and to check for new vulnerabilities on Internet-facing assets. This is an ongoing responsibility, but you can trust an expert provider to help automate the process.

The SecureFusion External Perimeter Monitoring Service will perform continuous security monitoring of all your Internet points of presence and all your Internet-accessible systems.

External Perimeter Monitoring Service includes:

• Automatic discovery of new perimeter systems and assets.
• A continuous inventory of external assets and accessible services.
• Recurring, in-depth vulnerability scans of all external systems.
• Web-based management of scan frequency and other options.
• Storage of all scanning results on your internal network.

The service can exist independently or can be fully integrated for a single view of the enterprise, internal and external, through the SecureFusion Portal.

How does it work?

Discover Internet-Accessible Assets and Applications

As part of the service, Gideon Technologies hosts external asset discovery scanners which will examine your entire registered address space from the Internet. The asset discovery process will identify all assets, fingerprint the operating systems and locate any high-risk network services that are accessible over the Internet. New assets and network services discovered are highlighted and automatically added to the vulnerability scanning process.

Quickly Identify and Remediate External Vulnerabilities

Following the discovery of any Internet-accessible assets, a full vulnerability scan is performed against each asset. Ultimately, you gain access to a recurring, full vulnerability assessment across your entire external IP address space. Vulnerabilities found are automatically pulled into the SecureFusion Portal, which resides on your internal network. Therefore, your vulnerability data is stored locally on your internal network and under your control at all times.
