Security Assessment and Risk Mitigation

The Security Assessment and Risk Mitigation service offers your organisation access to Imtech Telecom Global’s Professional Services IP security experts. Imtech’s consultants will perform a router security assessment of your network; analysing network design and configuration for security exposures and designing solutions suitable for established security policies and procedures.

The Security Assessment and Risk Mitigation service is split into 5 main modules. Your organisation can take advantage of the full service or choose any of the individual modules which will be fully customised to meet your organisations requirements:

• Module 1: Vulnerability Analysis - Imtech’s consultants will work with your organisation to collate information about the current network topology and identify network security risks and assess overall vulnerability to attacks. They will then create a security profile for your network that is documented in a ‘Vulnerability Analysis’ document.

• Module 2: Network Security Architecture – Imtech’s consultants will work with you to ensure consistent levels of security across various network tiers and elements. They will then prepare a ‘Network Security Architecture’ document that includes monitoring, detection and suppression capabilities required across your network; along with recommendations as to the most suitable incident response practices for your network. Plans for future network expansion are also evaluated for potential security risks.

• Module 3: Mitigation and Implementation Plan – Imtech’s consultants will generate configuration templates and document-specific requirements for individual network elements. Monitoring and detection parameters are defined, incident response techniques are documented, and a ‘Network Security Implementation’ plan is provided for the new configurations.

• Module 4: Pre-deployment Validation – Imtech’s consultants will develop a detailed test plan with your security and operations staff to verify that the network security implementation plan provides the level of protection required. The test plan is executed in a lab, and the configurations are fine-tuned to ensure your network’s security. This validation and testing minimises the inherent risks of introducing changes to your production network. Upon successful completion, the final configurations are worked into a ‘Production Implementation’ plan.

• Module 5: New Configuration Deployment and Final Testing – Imtech’s consultants will work with your security and operations teams to deploy the new configurations into your live network according to the ‘Production Implementation’ plan. As the configurations are deployed, final testing is performed to confirm the functional and operational integrity of the network and verify the effectiveness of the changes.
