SFL Data Enhances Security Infrastructure by Upgrading Intrusion Detection, Prevention Systems to Protect Clients’ eDiscovery Data
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- Leading electronic discovery services provider SFL Data today announced the completion of a major upgrade to its network intrusion detection system (IDS) and intrusion prevention system (IPS). Following an extensive evaluation, SFL Data selected Dell SecureWorks as its IDS/IPS solution. The managed security service provides 24/7 network monitoring – including active traffic and firewall logs, with an immediate response from security professionals at the SecureWorks operations center. Combined with SFL Data’s enterprise-class firewall technology, the new IDS/IPS solution offers SFL Data’s global corporate and law firm clients high levels of protection against outside threats.
“Our clients trust us with highly sensitive data, from IP to financial information to highly confidential correspondence. They expect top-level security and risk management,” said SFL Data CTO Chris Kitterman. “Upgrading to a top-quality IDS/IPS solution is an important part of maintaining a world-class infrastructure built for the Fortune 50.”
The IDS/IPS implementation demonstrates SFL Data’s commitment to build a highly reliable technical infrastructure for its clients. SFL Data operates a high availability, ten-gigabit network using a blended source of Tier 1 carriers and storage providers to ensure rapid processing and search speeds. The data is housed in a primary SOC 2 Type II audited data center, with real-time replication using a point-to-point one Gbps (gigabit per second) circuit to an out-of-state disaster recovery site.
