Network Security

Perimeter network security refers to the set of protective measures that define and secure the boundary of an organization's network, serving as a critical defence against external threats. The primary objective of establishing this boundary is to regulate access to sensitive information. At IBSCY, we ensure that the organization's network perimeter adheres to industry standards and that all corporate devices are comprehensively protected. 

UTM (Unified Threat Management) represents an integrated security solution that consolidates multiple protective functionalities within a single platform, safeguarding networks from a broad spectrum of cyber threats.
