Security and Compliance

Progent can provide prompt and affordable access to CISSP-certified network security consultants. CISSP certification is the most prized network security credential in the IT industry and indicates mastery of a international standard for network security. To be granted the CISSP credential, candidates must demonstrate extensive understanding of modern network security strategies and have years of professional implementation experience.

American National Standards Institute has awarded CISSP official recognition in the area of cybersecurity under ISO/IEC 17024. This represents the first time that an IT credential has been assigned ANSI approval. CISSP is also officially approved by the U.S. Department of Defense in their IAT and IAM categories. In addition, CISSP has been adopted as a baseline for the U.S. NSA's ISSEP program to protect the National Information Infrastructure (NII).

Progent's CISSP-certified network Security consultants can help organizations of any size with cybersecurity projects no matter how challenging. Progent's online and on-premises IT support options are designed to fit any budget and include urgent or occasional support with hourly billing, fix-bid help for one-off projects like security vulnerability audits or penetration testing, or subscription remote monitoring and management (RMM) services.

• Security Management Practices
  Security administration involves the identification of a company's information assets and the development, recording, and carrying out of policies, procedures, and standards. Administration techniques such as information classification and risk analysis can be used to determine potential attacks, categorize valuable data, and evaluate security vulnerabilities so that appropriate controls can be put in place.

• Security Infrastructure and Models
  This involves the principles, framework, and standards followed to build, track, and secure OS platforms, equipment, networks, and applications plus the tools used to enforce various levels of robustness, consistency, and privacy.

• Access Management Systems and Processes
  Access controls are a collection of technologies that operate together to build a security infrastructure to protect the assets of the information system.

• Software Development Security
  This involves the important security principles that apply to software development. Applications development security outlines the circumstances where programs are planned and produced and explains the critical role software has in providing IT network security.

• Secure Operations
  This concerns defining the controls over equipment and storage media and managing the technicians and administrators with access privileges to any of these assets. Audit and tracking are the mechanisms and techniques that enable the awareness of security-relevant events and follow-on actions to discover the essential elements and convey the associated data to the appropriate person, group, or mechanism.

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

• Data Encryption
  Data Encryption covers the principles, means, and methods of disguising information to ensure its integrity, confidentiality, and legitimacy.

• Telecommunications, Network and Internet Security
  This area concerns:
  • Network Infrastructure
  • Transmission mechanisms
  • Transport protocols
  • Security measures implemented to provide availability, consistency, and confidentiality
  • Authentication for traffic over private and public networks and media.
• Disaster Recovery Preparedness
  The Business Continuity Plan covers the protection and recovery of commercial operations after outages.

• Risk Analysis
  Risk analysis assesses a company's vulnerability to cyber attacks, sizes the possible damage of specific known threats, and identifies best-practice controls and response processes to reduction vulnerability.

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