Secure Infrastructure Services

When networks grow organically, or by merger and acquisition, they often end up performing sub-optimally. The same is true for security devices, for example, firewalls with thousands of rules. There may also be various programs and requirements that drive architecture changes such as the push towards de-perimeterization and network segmentation. Our skilled and certified security consultants have considerable experience in the areas of network consolidation and the analysis of data and packet flow. ENCINC Consulting knows how to segment networks and then tune the security devices to improve performance and minimize impact.' We have experience with data leakage and data loss prevention tools, as well as security event management devices and other state-of-the-art products. Our consultants can collaborate with you to develop a cohesive security architecture, which can be deployed and integrated in an adaptive and iterative lifecycle manner.
