Security Management
Tailor made
Data transfer risks in open networks have produced the following responses.
1. Confidentiality
It prevents unauthorized third parties from reading the data. Implementing encryption achieves the confidentiality of information
2. Integrity
It prevents unauthorized modification of data and information. Data integrity is assured through the application of Hash functions. It prevents content modifications from being unnoticed.
3. Authenticity
This refers to access authorization; it is the clear determination of the identity of all communications partners. It prevents a person from appearing as someone other than he really is. Authentication occurs at the beginning of every communication relationship and ideally is handled on the basis of digital signatures within a Public Key Infrastructure.
4. Liability
It must be assured that neither persons nor systems can deny having sent or received information. (incontestability). In this response processes are combined to assure data integrity and authentication (digital signature, Hash Functions).
Virtual Private Networks provide the most security for transmission of any type of data over public networks. A VPN offers protection from attacks outside and inside the organization. The demands on a dependable, all-inclusive, security solution are multi-faceted. Correspondingly the possibilities for security precautions are also multi faceted and each covers a certain area. A single security aspect by itself alone is not does not present a sufficient solution to all security requirements. Only a combination of individual security mechanisms that are tuned to each other offers a maximum of data and access security.
Security Management involves optimizing all Security Features from the perspective of performance and availability. As many Security Handling processes as possible have been automated to minimize security risks from the user side.
NCP Secure Communications Products guarantee a secure data traffic between central and decentralized computers also in a heterogeneous DP environment. New security technologies can be implemented at any time because NCP technology is firmly based on standardized protocols and interfaces.
The Security Management is a three level, modular, security concept. The customer decides which security level most closely corresponds to his security policy. Migration to the next higher, or more secure level is simply accomplished with a software update.
