Security

Equiom is a pioneer in fusing education and technology as part of the security assessment process, augmenting technology-based security protection with human awareness training. We provide infrastructure-level, as well as application-level security services. Our infrastructure-level services cover both wired and wireless networks. Our mission is to help our clients achieve maximum level of protection for their information networks now and in the future.

Defense in Cyberspace
An increasing number of businesses have been loosing money and time to recover their systems due to malicious attacks from hackers, malware, and spyware in Cyberspace. Rebuilding, upgrading, and recovering damaged systems takes resources away from running your core business. Our team of security experts helps clients defend their business in Cyberspace, and reduce the impact a potential security risk could have on their resources.

Safety by Technology
Equiom uses the latest tools to evaluate and audit network infrastructure.

Safety by Education
Equiom provides end-user training to increase security awareness and protect information assets.

Security Services
Equiom offers independent and non-biased expertise to ensure our clients' business is safe and secure in Cyberspace by providing the following services:

Security Assessment
Equiom evaluates applications and network infrastructure and provides a comprehensive assesment of information security needs for the specific business. Clients are presented with a security roadmap to fortify their information systems at minimum cost.

Penetration Testing
Equiom provides a variety of testing to determine if business information systems are vulnerable to malicious attacks and malware. It is also a way to ensure that systems are protected at the highest level.

Wireless Penetration Testing
Our team of security experts can perform one-off security reviews of wireless networks. With our software engineering expertise, we can put together a network management system that is DOD 8100.2 compliant. This includes establishing application policy, developing protection to mitigate denial of service attacks, assessing the risk and vulnerabilities, and recommending end-to-end protection schemes, including intrusion detection methodologies for the wireless system.

Security Awareness Training
Equiom educates end-users to increase awareness of the importance of securing valuable company data. Information security is an on-going process where human factors remain the weakest link. Most simple real life network attacks are caused by end-users’ lack of familiarity with how to best protect your company’s information.

Why Choose Equiom?

"Regulatory bodies want banks to hire a competent outside party to evaluate their network security. Equiom, with its technically savvy engineers, easily meets those requirements. My own requirements were much more comprehensive than the FDIC’s, including workstation audits and employee awareness training, and Equiom more than met my expectations."
