eCenturion

During the reign of the Roman Empire it was the Centurions to whom the emperor entrusted the protection of Rome. And you thought you had management problems! They were the army and the police. They led a contingent of 100 Roman soldiers, a defense in depth approach. eCenturion has embodied some of the concepts of protection and security implemented by the Centurions but with current methods to meet todays Internet threats. eCenturion is todays electronic Centurion!

As an industry leader we have developed a Unified Threat Management (UTM) security system for small to mid-sized business (SMB's), small office & home office (SoHo) and the enterprise.

We are a collection of business, technology and security experts providing a broad range of solutions for managing, securing and analyzing all key components of your computing infrastructure.

Our managed security service (MSS) is delivered to clients via Sentry, a Firewall, IPSec VPN, and UTM appliance.

The selection of a security solution today is more than a technology decision...it is a management decision. With the imposition of privacy and security laws as well as payment card industry rules, the other un-intended consequence will be the need to defend your security before authorities who can affect the future of your business.

There are other considerations as well. According to the Computer Security Institute and the FBI, the biggest threat to assets comes from within not from outside the organizations. Over 70% of security breaches in corporate networks come from "trusted" network administrators of the IT infrastructure. They also reported the average cost of an insider attack is $2.7 million. Nearly 50 times that of an outside attack.

A paradigm is like the unconscious belief system of a culture. We live and breathe these beliefs, and we think and interact according to them. Today we find there is a paradigm shift in network security. Previously, if there was a security breach and data compromised it would likely remain an in-house "secret". Today however, with all the privacy laws and required disclosures of data compromise, a shift has occurred. There are now serious financial consequences for loss of data and privacy. No longer can a business keep such breaches to themselves. The risk to public disclosure, loss of confidence and litigation elevate security to a new level.

As a business manager, if a breach occurs who do you want representing your company. Top percentile, subject matter experts with extensive experience and credentials who can articulate in depth every measure advanced or a software engineer who is represented to be an expert.

If you are the security administrator do you really want to be the one to detail before authorities, as well as your management, how the breach occurred and how the measures taken failed? One thing can be counted on...it will be the most unpleasant day of your career. When that day comes...will it be your last?
