Network Security Analysis. Click image to enlarge.
Security is most often overlooked when a network or system is being designed and deployed. Unfortunately, funding for enhancing the security of a network is only available after an embarrassing or devastating compromise.
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) engineers understand the aspects of network and system vulnerabilities and are familiar with various methods of protecting a network and its subsequent services in a cost effective manner.
Network Compromise and Vulnerability Assessment
SwRI engineers maintain a broad understanding of the methodology of network compromise and vulnerability analysis, and they have been involved with:
- Lockdown of industry standard operating systems
- Network security plan development
- Wireless system security analysis
- Wireless system security implementation
- Firewall configuration
- Firewall deployment
Classified Network System Design and Integration
SwRI engineers are familiar with technical and political aspects surrounding network and server infrastructures in classified network systems. They have a practical understanding of the implementation of various encryption devices for use over a LAN/WAN environment.
Advanced Protocol Security Analysis
SwRI engineers have authored advanced network technology advisory reports for the federal government providing insight into National Security and Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) ramifications including:
- Next generation networks
- Photonic switching technologies
Examples of Projects that Included Network & System Security Issues
- Consulting, Analysis, and Specification Development
- Network Security Plan Development and Vulnerability Assessment
- Technology Studies for NCS
