Security and Compliance

Progent offers fast and economical access to CISSP-certified network security consultants. CISSP is the most esteemed cybersecurity credential in the IT industry and denotes mastery of a worldwide standard for information security. To be granted CISSP certification, consultants must demonstrate extensive understanding of advanced information security strategies and confirm years of hands-on work experience.

American National Standards Institute has granted the CISSP credential formal recognition in the field of information security under ISO/IEC 17024. This represents the first time that an IT accreditation has been given ANSI approval. CISSP is also officially recognized by the United States Department of Defense in their Information Assurance Technical and Managerial categories. In addition, CISSP has been adopted as a baseline for the United States National Security Agency's Information Systems Security Engineering Professional program to protect the National Information Infrastructure (NII).

• Operations Security
  This involves determining the controls over hardware and storage media and overseeing the operators and administrators with access rights to these assets. Audit and tracking are the mechanisms and facilities that allow the awareness of security-relevant activity and follow-on actions to identify the key elements and report the pertinent data to the designated person, group, or process.

• Site Security
  Site security provides security techniques for the whole facility, from the outside perimeter to the inside office space, including all of the IT network assets.

  Risk analysis evaluates a company's vulnerability to cyber attacks, estimates the damage potential of various known threats, and identifies appropriate controls and mitigation processes to reduction exposure.
