Security

Network security vulnerabilities pose multi-billion dollar threats to corporations. Hosting Tank Managed Hosting protects you with the industry's most potent security tools and techniques that are designed, built and maintained specifically for enterprise-class Web operations.

Hosting Tank offers a comprehensive suite of security technologies including:

Infrastructure
Security starts at the data center and includes traditional locks, access controls and biometric surveillance systems. Robust fire suppression, HVAC, power feeds, hot-swappable servers and routers are available in the event of an outage. Background checks and certifications ensure the integrity of all personnel.

Network
Our 100% Cisco Powered Network, built on hardened routers and audited by Cisco, ensure maximum security protection. Our network incorporates a patented Intrusion Detection System to protect against external threats.

Firewalls are managed by security specialists and deployed in a "private IP" space, while customer servers and routers are segregated in Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN). Network security features also include multi-level privileges, OS lockdowns, centralized authentication and device change logs.

Hardware
All Operating Systems are loaded, hardened and managed to ensure proper security. By maintaining on-site inventories, Web laboratories and automated deployment systems - in addition to close relationships with key hardware vendors - we guarantee hardware availability.

Applications
Our security regimen also addresses the inherent vulnerabilities of applications, including enterprise databases, Microsoft IIS, Apache, Linux, mail services, FTP servers, DNS and streaming media. We implement firewalls and deactivate non-essential features to further protect applications.

Security Patching
By constantly updating our security systems, we ensure optimum protection for our customers. We monitor and address emerging threats, and quickly process and apply new security patches.

Threat Analysis
Hosting Tank employs advanced technologies to identify and address security weaknesses in Web-oriented servers, applications and activities. We constantly examine all firewalls, load-balancers, SSL accelerators and switches, as well as external developments, for any potential security events.

Forensics
Should a security event occur, Hosting Tank can conduct a comprehensive post-incident examination designed to reduce the risk of future threats. By documenting dollar losses, if any, Hosting Tank can help justify the involvement of the FBI or other law enforcement agencies.

Security Testing Laboratory
Hosting Tank subjects all devices to full security testing before they are deployed - including the installation and configuration of the Operating System, the disabling of vulnerable or unneeded services, and advanced vulnerability tests.

Certified Engineers and Security Teams
To ensure a fast response to a security event, qualified personnel are available 24x7x365. Our security specialists have earned Cisco Certified Security Professional, Certified Information System Security Professional and other security certifications.

Security Portal
Hosting Tank has created an innovative portal to give precise, up-to-the-minute security information. Hosting Tank provides information on emerging threats, as well as specific information on infrastructure performance, security status and trouble tickets.
