With a best-of-breed solution, DHK provides Firewall, Intrusion Detection, and VPN operations and management that are unequalled.  Our staff of security experts configures and manages thousands of firewalls.  We are dedicated to providing excellent security solutions 24/7 so that your company can go about doing your day-to-day business.

Security Design – The first step for all of our professional services is a review of existing security architecture and the creation of a long-term scalable design that meets the customer needs.  Some companies need perimeter security management, while more sophisticated networks have more demanding requirements.  With our expertise, we will be able to identify security issues, work with your staff, and make long term recommendations that will properly protect your infrastructure.

Security Implementation – Once a design is selected, DHK staff will assign a project manager to lead the device implementation process.  It is critical for all IT Staff that security rollout is handled with care.  Installation of any device or system is not considered complete until the client has signed off and all security devices are fully integrated with the management systems.

Change Management – When it’s time to make a change in operations, it is of utmost importance that we follow a strict procedure.  DHK has a strong foundation of change management within large networks.  We have been able to provide stellar uptime and responsiveness due to our pre-planned changes.  All of our changes follow a well documented process that keep all parties informed at all stages of a change in the network infrastructure.  Most importantly, we document not just how a change is going to be made, but we require our staff also document back-out procedures as well.  Network changes don’t always go smoothly, but when we plan on how to deal with adversity from the beginning, we come out with successful solutions 100% of the time.

Proactive Monitoring – Just having a 24/7 expert staff isn’t enough to make sure that your network is properly protected.  DHK’s staff has the best cutting edge monitoring tools available.  With the management and monitoring systems, we are able to identify and react to critical events as they occur.  Even more important, false positive identification is a top priority to keep them from overwhelming all resources.

VPN Management – Secure, remote access to the network is a critical requirement for the majority of our clients.  We provide years of expertise with many different VPN designs: LAN to LAN, Client to LAN, and Client VPN software management.   DHK will always meet the two most important VPN goals: we will keep your network secure and your staff will always be able to get to the resources they are authorized to access.

Expert Staffing – Our security staff is amongst the best in the industry.  All of our staff is required to hold a number of industry certifications, from Cisco to Juniper and ISC², to name a few.  They are required to attend at least two weeks of professional training per year.  DHK guarantees that our staff is second to none when it comes to network security knowledge.

24/7 Network Availability – For live hosing and critical server environments, we have a great deal of expertise with high-availability security implementations.  We can design and implement security solutions that can handle up to and beyond Gigabit requirements.

Live Reporting – One of our best features comes with the use of Juniper’s NetScreen Security Manager system.  When security events require fast reporting, no other system can turn out sharp, professional reports with as little turnaround time.  Juniper’s NSM platform can filter live security data from multiple platforms and immediately turn them into usable PDF files.  If you use a competitor’s syslog based solution, you may have to wait for days for a UNIX expert to parse raw data.  With the NSM solution, any staff member will be able to immediately generate a report within an easy to use GUI.

Feature Integration/Cost Management – Our security solutions are based on the Juniper NetScreen line of security products.  While many of our competitors believe in implementing any platform on the market, that decision represents a greater cost to you.  When your network requires advanced Intrusion Detection, Web-Filtering, and Anti-Virus solutions, most vendor solutions require purchasing many additional, separate boxes.  Juniper is the only security vendor that provides a highly scalable and integrated security solution set.  The Juniper NetScreen product line has continually lead the security marketplace with cutting edge features. Because DHK can deliver more service with fewer boxes, this results in a lower cost of service than our competitors.

While other security management vendors offer platform independence, they do so at a 40-60% greater cost per month.  Device and platform interoperability makes sense when you’re working with routers and switches.  In the networking market, the goal for all vendors is to be as compatible as possible.  However, in the security field, the goal of firewall and IDP vendors is to provide the best feature set.  The only common ground where they attempt to be compatible is with VPN technology.

Service Level Agreement – Most critical of all, we stand by our work. We offer a comprehensive service level agreement in order to make sure that our operational capabilities meet your requirements.
