Business Partner Profile

eSentire acts as an outsourced Network Security Officer for small- to mid-sized clients. Our group of well-trained and expert security personnel collaborate with our clients' operations staff to enhance the security of their network and business processes.

eSentire's approach is three-fold:

  1. Assess
  2. Prevent
  3. Guard

First, we determine what expectations our clients have with the current infrastructure. This helps us to discover facets of a company's culture, and establish a threat posture. We then probe the systems for weaknesses, just as a hacker would.

We then take the information from the first phase of analysis and build a threat matrix, cataloguing possible threats and risks customized for the company. We make recommendations to prevent attacks (both internal and external) by improving the strength of our clients' computers and networks. Once these prevention steps are performed, we verify to ensure they have been properly implemented.

Our third step is to implement a Collaborative Threat Management system to proactively guard the company by monitoring their threats. We analyze network traffic patterns, looking for problems as diverse as inappropriate internal employee access, misconfigured systems, network viruses and worms, and external hacking attempts. Our Collaborative Threat Management system offers a tailor-made fit to protect each of our clients.

eSentire, Inc. offers practical and customized strategies to help guard the intellectual property of your enterprise.
