Security and Compliance

Progent can provide prompt and economical access to CISSP-certified cybersecurity consulting experts. CISSP certification is the most prized cybersecurity credential in the IT industry and denotes mastery of a worldwide standard for network security. To earn the CISSP credential, candidates must show extensive knowledge of modern information security strategies and have years of professional work experience.

ANSI has awarded CISSP official recognition in the field of cybersecurity under ISO/IEC 17024. This represents the first time that an information technology accreditation has been given ANSI approval. CISSP is also officially recognized by the United States Department of Defense in their IAT and IAM disciplines. In addition, CISSP has been accepted as a standard for the U.S. National Security Agency's Information Systems Security Engineering Professional program to safeguard the National Information Infrastructure.

  Security administration involves the identification of an organization's most important information and the creation, recording, and carrying out of policies, operations, and standards. Management techniques that include data categorization and threat assessment can be used to identify possible threats, classify assets, and rate security vulnerabilities so that appropriate measures can be put in place.

  This involves the concepts, structures, and guidelines followed to design, track, and protect OS platforms, hardware, infrastructure, and applications as well as the controls utilized to enforce various degrees of availability, consistency, and privacy.

  Access controls are a collection of technologies that work together to create a security infrastructure to protect the assets of the information system.

  This covers the key security principles associated with application development. Applications development security outlines the environment where software is planned and developed and explains the vital role software plays in providing information system protection.

• Operations Security
  Operations security involves defining the controls over hardware and storage media and overseeing the technicians and administrators who have access rights to any of these assets. Audit and tracking are the mechanisms and facilities that permit the awareness of security-relevant events and consequent actions to discover the key factors and report the pertinent data to the designated person, group, or process.

• Physical Security
  Site security provides security mechanisms for the entire physical facility, from the outside perimeter to the desk, including all of the information system assets.

• Cryptography
  Cryptography covers the concepts, means, and methods of cloaking data to ensure its integrity, privacy, and authenticity.

• Telecom, Network and WAN Security
  This area involves:

  • Security techniques used to provide reliability, integrity, and privacy
  • Authentication for transmissions over private and public communications networks and media.
• Business Continuity Preparedness
  The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) addresses the protection and restoration of commercial operations after network disruptions.

• Risk Analysis
  Risk analysis evaluates an organization's vulnerability to cyber attacks, sizes the possible damage of various known threats, and identifies appropriate controls and mitigation procedures to minimize exposure.

• Law, Investigation and Ethics
  This involves:
  • Information system crime laws
  • The procedures followed and technologies utilized to investigate information system crime activity
