Eureka provides complete information security solution to Asian Cotton Mills

28-Oct-2008

Eureka Technology Partners (ETP) has provided an end-to-end information security solution package to Asian Cotton Mills Ltd (ASCOT) following a security assessment of ASCOT's IT infrastructure.

The move comes after a preliminary IT security assessment, which covered areas such as perimeter security, router and firewall configuration, remote access, server security, desktop security and network security, with the goal of enhancing the clients existing security posture.

"While most clients have good security solutions in place, this type of security audits play an important role in terms of identifying vulnerabilities that remain outside the purview of day-to-day security practices," said Vice President of IT, Eureka Technology Partners Sulaiman Razmik.

Following the audit, the ETP team developed and implemented a security plan for ASCOT in conjunction with their internal team.

Beginning at the perimeter, ASCOT's IS architecture was optimised with the implementation including gateway filters, optimising server security, standardising the desktop environment, and roll out of internet access guidelines and rules.

Currently managing ASCOT's infrastructure, ETP has brought issue resolution times down, with a goal to reduce it further in the next few months.

Once the complete strategy has been implemented, the in-house team will take over the day-to-day management of the infrastructure while the ETP team will offer support with on-going audits, security management and strategic direction in terms of IT updates.
