Host Level Security

Host level security refers to measures taken to secure an individual computer or device within a network. These measures may include installing and regularly updating antivirus software, using strong passwords, limiting access to authorized users, and enabling firewalls to prevent unauthorized access. Ensuring host level security is important because it helps prevent attackers from gaining access to sensitive information stored on the device or using it to launch attacks on other devices in the network.

WHAT IS
Host Level Security

As digiALERT, host-level security is one of our areas of expertise. We understand the importance of protecting individual devices and hosts within a network from a variety of cyber threats, including malware, ransomware, and unauthorized access.

Host-level security involves implementing security measures on individual devices and hosts, such as laptops, servers, and mobile devices, to protect them from cyber threats. This can include measures such as antivirus software, intrusion prevention systems, and firewalls.

We also provide endpoint security solutions, which protect individual devices and hosts by monitoring and controlling access to the network and the data stored on the device. This can include measures such as encryption, device management, and vulnerability scanning.

We also provide guidance and best practices for password management, secure configurations, and secure boot processes to ensure that your devices and hosts are configured to protect against common cyber threats.

Types of
Host Level Security

Host-level security is an important element of any IT security strategy. It is the process of protecting a computer or network from malicious attacks and unauthorized access. This can include the use of firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, and user authentication. At digiALERT, we understand the importance of host-level security and have created a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to protect your network and endpoints against malicious threats. 

Our host-level security solutions include:

  1.  Firewall Protection: Firewalls provide a layer of protection against malicious access to your network. We offer both hardware and software firewalls to ensure your network is protected from unauthorized access.
  2.  Antivirus Protection: Our antivirus software will detect and remove any malicious code that may be present on your network. We also monitor for malicious activity and alert you when a threat is detected. 
  3. Intrusion Detection: Our intrusion detection system will detect and alert you to any suspicious activity on your network. This includes detecting traffic from known malicious IP addresses and preventing unauthorized access.
  4.  User Authentication: Our user authentication system ensures that only authorized users can access your network. We also monitor user activity to ensure that no suspicious activity is occurring.

Statistics on
Host Level Security

In the 2017 Bad Rabbit attack, malware infected endpoint machines through a fake Adobe Flash installer, encrypting files and demanding a ransom for their release.
The 2014 Home Depot data breach was caused by hackers gaining access to the company's network through a third-party vendor's account, ultimately compromising over 56 million payment cards.
The 2017 CCleaner hack involved attackers gaining access to the download servers of the popular software tool and inserting malware into the installer, potentially infecting millions of endpoint machines.
In the 2017 NotPetya attack, malware was spread through a software update of a popular tax accounting program in Ukraine, ultimately affecting endpoint machines worldwide.
The 2016 Mirai botnet attack exploited vulnerabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as home routers and security cameras, to launch a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on Dyn DNS, affecting endpoint machines accessing websites like Amazon, Netflix, and Twitter.
The 2013 Target data breach originated from a phishing attack on a third-party vendor, giving attackers access to the retailer's network and ultimately compromising endpoint machines at point-of-sale registers.

How do we do
Host Level Security

digiALERT is dedicated to providing robust host-level security to protect devices and networks from known and emerging threats. This is achieved through a multi-layered approach that includes various security measures. Antivirus and anti-malware software are installed and updated regularly to detect and remove malicious code. Firewalls are set up to block unauthorized traffic and prevent attackers from accessing sensitive data. Data is encrypted to ensure it is only accessible to authorized parties. Secure connections are established using VPNs and software/OS patches are applied regularly to prevent vulnerabilities. Access controls and user authentication are implemented to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data, and two-factor authentication provides an extra layer of security. SIEM systems are used to analyze security data and alert on potential threats, while IDPS monitor network traffic and detect suspicious activity. Endpoints such as laptops and mobile devices are secured, and regular security assessments and penetration testing are conducted to identify vulnerabilities and address them. With these measures in place, digiALERT ensures the safety and confidentiality of sensitive data.

WHY HOST LEVEL SECURITY
WHO NEEDS HOST LEVEL SECURITY

Host level security is important because it helps to protect individual devices and hosts on a network from known and emerging threats. With the increasing amount of sensitive data being stored on devices and the growing number of connected devices, the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches is increasing. Host level security measures can help to prevent unauthorized access to devices, networks and sensitive information, as well as protect against malware, viruses, and other malicious software.

Host level security is essential for any organization or individual that stores sensitive information on their devices or uses connected devices to access the internet. This includes businesses of all sizes, government agencies, healthcare providers, educational institutions, and individuals who use devices for personal or professional purposes.

How often is Host Level Security recommended
When it would be performed

Host level security refers to the security measures that are put in place to protect individual computer systems or devices within a network. These measures can include things like firewalls, antivirus software, and access controls.
It is important to have strong host level security in place to protect against cyber threats such as malware, hacking, and data breaches. These threats can compromise the security and integrity of a system, potentially leading to data loss or theft, as well as disruption of operations.
In order to ensure effective host level security, organizations should regularly review and update their security measures, as well as educate their employees on best practices for cybersecurity. It is generally recommended to conduct regular security assessments and audits to identify and address any vulnerabilities or weaknesses in the system.
