Security and Compliance

Progent can provide fast and affordable access to CISSP-certified network security consulting experts. CISSP certification is the most prized cybersecurity credential in the IT industry and indicates mastery of a global standard for cybersecurity. To be granted the CISSP credential, candidates must show extensive understanding of advanced information security solutions and confirm years of hands-on work experience.

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has awarded CISSP official accreditation in the field of cybersecurity under ISO/IEC 17024. This represents the first time that an IT credential has been given ANSI approval. CISSP is also formally approved by the United States Department of Defense in their Information Assurance Technical and Managerial (IAT and IAM) categories. In addition, the CISSP has been approved as a baseline for the U.S. National Security Agency's ISSEP program to secure the National Information Infrastructure.

• Security Administration Procedures
  Security management involves the determination of a company's high-value data and the creation, documentation, and carrying out of policies, procedures, and standards. Administration tools such as data classification and risk assessment can be used to determine possible attacks, categorize valuable data, and evaluate security vulnerabilities so that effective measures can be implemented.

• Security Architecture and Models
  This concerns the concepts, framework, and standards followed to build, monitor, and secure operating systems, hardware, infrastructure, and applications plus the controls utilized to enforce various levels of availability, consistency, and confidentiality.

• Access Control Systems and Processes
  Access controls are a collection of technologies that work cohesively to create a security architecture to protect the assets of the IT system.

• Applications Development Security
  This covers the important security concepts that apply to application development. Applications development security outlines the environment where software is designed and developed and explains the vital part software plays in providing information system protection.

• Operations Security
  Operations security concerns defining the management of hardware and media and overseeing the technicians and administrators who have access rights to these resources. Audit and monitoring are the tools and techniques that allow the awareness of security-relevant activity and subsequent efforts to identify the key factors and report the pertinent data to the designated person, team, or mechanism.

• Site Security
  Physical security addresses security mechanisms for the entire physical facility, from the perimeter to the inside office space, including all of the information network assets.

• Data Encryption
  Cryptography entails the principles, means, and methods of disguising data to preserve its integrity, confidentiality, and legitimacy.

• Telecom, LAN and Internet Security
  This area has to do with:
  • Network Infrastructure
  • Transmission mechanisms
  • Transport formats
  • Security measures implemented to provide availability, consistency, and confidentiality
  • Verification for transmissions over private and public communications networks and media.
• Disaster Recovery Planning
  The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) covers the preservation and recovery of business operations after network disruptions.

• Risk Analysis
  Risk analysis assesses an organization's vulnerability to cyber attacks, sizes the possible damage of various modern threats, and identifies appropriate controls and mitigation procedures to reduction vulnerability.

• Crime Law, Investigation and Ethics
  This involves:
  • Information system crime regulations
  • The procedures taken and technologies used to investigate computer crime incidents
