24x7 monitoring

Intrusion detection system monitoring and management

Sentinel offers a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week monitoring service. This service includes the monitoring of Network intrusion detection systems, Host based intrusion detection systems, firewalls, routers, servers and services.
With real-time analysis, trending and device log correlation, Sentinel's ability to quickly determine and mitigate threats to an organisation is second to none.

Detection systems are complimented with several incident escalation methods, including phone, fax, SMS and paging. this allows the client to accurately assess Sentinel's level of involvment and gves them the ability to analyse the incident, then assess the chain of command within the organisation.

Real Time IDS Database

In addition to our expertise in IDS technology is our centralised real time IDS trend analysis database.
Sentinel provides large clients with access to real time forensic trend analysis and a comprehensive view of malicious activity.

This enables our clients to differentiate between targeted attacks and internet wide vulnerability sweeps. Such data is accessible through a custom made interface which is specifically designed to suit each individual client.

Firewall monitoring and management with alerting

Sentinel provides monitored firewall management services; whether it be existing operational hardware or custom made solutions, Sentinel can manage your firewalls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Custom firewalls are tailored specifically for the needs of the client and are designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing infrastructure. These systems have the ability to alert (email, pager, SMS), on anomalies detected based on the environment configuration settings and are configured based on the exact environment in which they operate. This means that you know exactly what your firewall is doing and that it is not just a tick on the auditor's list.

System, service and device monitoring with alerting

Sentinel also provides a service that allows customers to monitor systems, servers, services and devices, as well as service anomalies, such as an over abundance of inbound spam being rejected by perimiter spam prevention systems.

This not only allows an organisation to see how their security technologies are being utilised, but provides early alerting to possible targetted attacks, times of risk and increased malicious internet traffic.

Authentication token management

The need for remote access has created a demand for authentication solutions in a broad perspective. Sentinel is able to tailor solutions for your authentication requirements; whether it be Vasco or RSA token management, Sentinel can provide you with a secure token management solution which best suits your business. Strict password policies can create nightmares for end-users and their password management skills. A password written down and lost is as good as no password at all.

Integrating a managed authentication solution improves productivity and security through prevention of lost or forgotten passwords. Elimination of end-user password problems eliminates complexity, and helps users to maintain a single, strong, regularly changing password.
