Our Security Approach

In order to reduce security risks to minimum, a holistic approach to security is required. Our security processes are born out of a clear definition of the threats to our system.

Security threats are a result of the various interaction points that an application provides to the external world, and the various users that can interact with these interfaces. For instance Your Customers, Your Resellers, Your staff, Our Staff, Anonymous Internet Users and Third Party Servers are interacting with our Systems at any given point of time. Each of these actors need to have different access levels and different rights and permissions.

 

Security Goals

Privacy - Information within our infrastructure and systems will only be accessible by authorized users.

Integrity - Data and information within our infrastructure cannot be tampered with by any unauthorized user.

Data Protection - Data within the systems cannot be harmed, deleted or destroyed.

Identification and Authentication - Ensures that any user of the system is who he claims to be and eliminates chances of impersonation.

Network Service Protection - Ensures that networking equipment is protected from malicious hacking attempts or attacks that threaten uptime.

 

Our Security Model

Our Security platform and process leverage on multiple levels of security - consisting of Security Systems and Equipment combined with Security Procedures and Practices and Auditing Processes, to ensure unparalleled security for all the services we provide. The platform tackles security at 7 different levels.

 

Datacenter Security

The datacenters where our servers placed are equipped with cameras, biometric locks, authorization-based access policies, limited datacenter access, security personnel, and similar standard security equipment, processes and operations.

 

Personnel Security

The weakest link in the security chain is always the people you trust. Information is divulged only on a "need-to-know" basis. Authorization expires upon the expiry of the requirement. Personnel are coached specifically in security measures and the criticality of observing them.

Every employee that has administrator privileges to any of our servers goes through a comprehensive background check. The employee security check involves getting Government issued authorized identity proof, residential address proof and personal visit for verification to the employee’s residence.

 

Firewall Protection

Our round-the-clock firewall protection system secures the perimeter and delivers the very best first line of defense. It uses highly adaptive and advanced inspection technology to safeguard your data, website, email and web applications by blocking unauthorized network access. It ensures controlled connectivity between the servers that store your data and the Internet through the enforcement of security policies devised by subject matter experts.

Network Intrusion Detection system

Our network intrusion detection, prevention and vulnerability management system provides rapid, accurate and comprehensive protection against targeted attacks, traffic anomalies, "unknown" worms, spyware/adware, network viruses, rogue applications and other zero-day exploits. It uses ultramodern high-performance network processors that carry out thousands of checks on each packet flow simultaneously with no perceivable increase in latency. As packets pass through our systems, they are fully scrutinized to determine whether they are legitimate or harmful. This method of instantaneous protection is the most effective mechanism of ensuring that harmful attacks do not reach their targets.

 

Hardware Standardization

We have standardized on hardware vendors that have a track record of high security standards and quality support. Our Detection System assists in detecting and pinpointing changes to the system and configuration files - whether by accident, from malicious tampering, or external intrusion - using heuristic scanners, host log information, and by monitoring system activity. Rapid discovery of changes decreases risk of potential damage, and also reduces troubleshooting and recovery times, thus decreasing overall impact and improving security and system availability.

 

Software Security

Our operating Systems include various flavors of Linux, BSD, Windows. Server Software includes versions and flavors of Apache, IIS, Tomcat, MySQL, MSSQL, Qmail, Sendmail, etc. We ensure security despite the diverse portfolio of software products we utilize by following a process-oriented approach

 

Timely Application of Updates, Bug Fixes and Security Patches

We fully understand the requirement for strong patch and update management processes. As operating systems and server software get more complex, each newer release is littered with security holes. Information and updates for new security threats are released on an almost daily basis. We have built consistent, repeatable processes and a reliable auditing and reporting framework which ensures that all our systems are always up-to-date.

 

Periodic Security Scans

Frequent checks are run using enterprise grade security software to determine if any servers have any known vulnerabilities. The servers are scanned against the most comprehensive and up-to-date databases of known vulnerabilities. This enables us to proactively protect our servers from attacks and ensure business continuity by identifying security holes or vulnerabilities before an attack occurs.

 

Application Security

Any 3rd party Products or Components go through comprehensive training and testing procedures where all elements of such products are broken down and knowledge about their architecture and implementation is transferred to our team. This allows us to completely control all variables involved in any particular Product. All applications are engineered using our proprietary Product Engineering Process which follows a proactive approach towards security. Each application is broken down into various components such as User Interface, Core API, Backend Database etc. Each layer of abstraction has its own security checks, despite the security checks performed by a higher abstraction layer. All sensitive data is stored in an encrypted format. Our engineering and development practices ensure the highest level of security with regards to all application software
