The security of our network and your server are Cbeyond's top priorities. Cbeyond's security team is constantly monitoring the entire network for unusual or suspicious behavior so we can address issues before you are affected. We also perform weekly vulnerability scans to secure and protect your servers.
Cbeyond also offers custom security solutions that can be designed for your specific needs. Private Firewalls, Virtual Private Networks and Dedicated Networks are all available as add-ons to our standard services.
INTRUSION PREVENTION SYSTEMS
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are devices used to protect the internal network from all forms of attacks, detect and block exploits, attacks, reconnaissance attempts and other unwanted traffic. These devices dig deep into the network packets to ensure no unwanted traffic is making its way from the Internet to your servers.
ENTERPRISE AND PRIVATE FIREWALLS
Our edge layer firewalls protect our internal network from the public internet. At this layer the firewalls are statefully watching all packets coming into and out of our network. We use these firewalls to block based on source/destination IP address or source/destination ports. They can also be used to protect against some Layer 7 (application layer) attacks and denial of service attacks.
Private firewalls are also available for added security. With a private firewall, we can customize your level of security and help you define a security policy for your server. This option also gives you the ability to use a virtual private network (VPN) to access your servers, which keeps all traffic between you and your servers safe with today's strongest encryption technology.
ANTI-VIRUS
Most hosting providers charge an additional fee for a managed enterprise-level anti-virus solution, if they offer one at all. Today more than ever, this feature is so critical that Cbeyond includes it on every server at no additional cost.
