Including Firewall and VPN Solutions, Antivirus, Content Filtering, Vulnerability Assessments, and Intrusion Detection, ACCi's products and services show that ACCi is committed to securing our customer's businesses in coordination with giving them peace of mind.

Vulnerability Assessment Testing
Vulnerability Assessment Testing is a suite of tests and procedures that targets known weaknesses that allow hackers access to your organization’s information resources, plus it prioritizes remediation recommendations. This enables administrators to quickly identify those systems and applications most at risk and take rapid countermeasures to proactively secure them before costly incidents occur. ACCi engineers use proven scanning technology as well as additional utilities to perform a thorough, nondestructive test of your organization from a remote location, checking for known vulnerabilities targeted by hackers. Our test suite is updated as hacker methods evolve, ensuring the most complete assessment possible. ACCi security personnel routinely monitor hacker sites for new techniques being employed by the hacker community. Our test solutions include assessing your hosts and firewalls by probing Internet-connected servers. Beyond this network testing, ACCi also performs server tests to determine vulnerabilities in your password files, file systems and IP services. Issues such as weak passwords, insufficient permissions on file systems, improperly configured authentication mechanisms and the like are all identified in a security audit. The result is a detailed assessment of your risk should a hacker gain access to one of your systems.

Intrusion Detection
Intrusion Detection services include scalable intrusion detection and prevention solutions for critical servers and for network operating systems. The service provides enterprises with a sophisticated combination of host intrusion protection technology, network intrusion detection and protection, and advanced management capabilities. The network and host intrusion detection service is part of an overall security strategy that provides enterprises a holistic view of enterprise security. ACCi's solutions provide real-time monitoring, detection, and prevention of security breaches, delivering automated policy enforcement and incident response for servers, applications, and data. As a complement to firewalls and other access controls, it enables administrators to develop proactive policies to stop hackers or authorized users with malicious intent from misusing systems.

Firewall and VPN
Firewall and VPN solutions from ACCi protects enterprise assets and business transactions by ensuring fast and secure connections with the Internet and between networks. ACCi's products and services include hybrid firewalls (both software and appliance-based) to enable fast, controlled connectivity, providing strong and transparent protection against unwanted intrusion without slowing the flow of approved traffic. VPN additions can be added to the firewall services to provide low-cost, high-speed connectivity between offices and for mobile workers. Firewall and VPN solutions from ACCi are designed to support businesses with highly sophisticated networks as well as those just requiring basic e-mail and Web browsing. Symantec Enterprise Firewall is an essential security component for today's electronically connected world.

Antivirus
Antivirus services from ACCi include comprehensive antivirus solutions that deliver multi-tiered, enterprise-strength protection for the Internet and e-mail gateway, network servers, and workstations. Our service combines award-winning technology and a global response infrastructure to deliver high-performance, scalable protection that stops virus threats before they enter the network. In addition, our solution enables administrators to block unwanted e-mail content like spam.
By incorporating industry-leading technologies and support to protect all network tiers, ACCi seeks to eliminate the complexity of building a multivendor antivirus solution. Through technologies such as the central management console, IT managers can easily deploy antivirus solutions and create, enforce, and update policies to ensure network servers and workstations are properly configured at all times—enterprise wide and across multiple platforms. The centralized management console also enables administrators to audit the network, identify which nodes are unprotected and vulnerable to virus attack, and determine which nodes are protected by Symantec®, McAfee® VirusScan®, Trend Micro OfficeScan™, Computer Associates®, or other select antivirus products.

Content Filtering
Content filtering solutions include both Web page and e-mail filtering services. Our solutions allow e-mail server systems to scan both inbound and outbound e-mail, including attachments, before any other process or client application takes place. E-mail filtering technologies enable administrators to automatically filter out e-mails based on subject line, message body, or attachment. In addition, our solutions aid in the detection of spam by using a combination of layered technologies, such as support for all third party blacklists, custom match lists, inbound-specific content filtering rules, and the ability to create sophisticated filters. ACCi's Web page content filtering solutions include the world's leading employee Internet management (EIM) software solution for managing employee use of computing resources, ranging from Internet access to desktop application use. Implemented by more than 18,100 organizations worldwide, and preferred by the Fortune 500, our solutions deliver a comprehensive software solution that analyzes, manages and reports on employee Internet access, network activity, software application use and bandwidth utilization.

Security Policy and Compliance
Security Policy and Compliance services include technologies that provide comprehensive security policy compliance management of mission critical e-Business applications and operating systems across the enterprise. From a single management location, our solutions manage the discovery of policy deviations and vulnerabilities for services housing mission-critical applications and data on the network, enterprise wide. With intelligent tools, administrators can quickly and cost effectively create baselines and measure performance against those baselines to identify systems that are not in compliance and correct faulty settings to bring systems back into compliance. Our solutions also provide management reports detailing policy compliance and security vulnerabilities, from both inside the enterprise and from the Internet, giving administrators a comprehensive view of the state of policy management and the ability to drill down to analyze compliance issues.
