Managed Services – The Hydrasat team loves cleaning up and optimizing our customers networks. It’s a peculiar drive that we have; to increase your organization’s network reliability and performance while driving down the total cost of ownership through a variety of different methods. It starts with the experience of having seen almost everything. We started with networks in the International and Offshore Oil & Gas industry, but we’ve been in almost every customer vertical since then. This helps us operationalize your network for your business. Our current customers are in various business verticals including Oil & Gas, manufacturing, retail, distribution, hotel, restaurant & tourism and financial services. By understanding these segments we are often able to quickly deploy time-tested solutions that provide immediate cost-effective value for our customers.
Deployment Services – Many organizations can manage what they have just fine, but large deployment projects may push an already over-utilized and undersized professional team to the point of breaking. By stepping in to integrate with, support and assist the existing IT team, we provide short to mid-term relief of the pressures associated with projects. In this capacity we are there to make the existing management and team look good. Nothing makes us happier than helping our customers. “The ole’ win-win.”
Security Services – During the design phase of a network security services integrated into the infrastructure must be carefully evaluated. The existing layers should be considered as well with the goal being complete coverage of the environment with few security gaps. Chasing point solutions or individual best of class products in order to achieve “security” can cause costs to spiral out of control thereby requiring a cohesive integrated solution designed with cost/performance in mind. Security can become an endeavor requiring almost unlimited costs and inconvenience to users. We generally look at the strategy a bit differently with an emphasis on cost effectiveness. An understanding of where threats generally come from and are directed to assists in initially spending the effort where the payback is. There will always be residual risk after controls are implemented, but focusing on the areas that matter considerably reduces that after a reasonable expense for the controls. In general, the benefits are obtained through integration of features while targeting specific layers such as DNS, MFA, IPS, Geo filters, configuration errors, etc.
Endpoint Management – High performance endpoint security controls are critical as they secure the highest risk factor of an IT system, the end users. Many users are mobile, thereby necessitating distributed security controls to gain visibility to remote resources. In recent years with the increase in remote working, these controls have vastly increased in effectiveness. By enabling endpoint traffic and process inspections using various tools, a similar level of security can be obtained for a user working at home as the user in the corporate office. Some of our favorites for the endpoint include SentinelOne Singularity and SIEM, Huntress, Huntress SIEM, Cisco Umbrella, Cisco Duo, Meraki security appliances & teleworker gateways.
Email Security – Email presents a considerable attack surface. Countless exploits have entered corporate environments via email over the years. Email inspections and policies are critical for ensuring an effective organizational security posture. By leveraging security intelligence obtained through global threat correlation and traffic from millions of other devices and networks, your organization’s security posture can greatly benefit. Common threat via email consist of Phishing, Spam, Malware and Business Email Compromise. It’s critical to protect your organization’s reputation and financial health by minimizing email based risks. We can help you secure the email threat vector through the use of employee training, MFA, Email inspections and Email filtering using advanced tools for inspections. Hydrasat uses a variety of tools including Mimecast and Proofpoint in order to inspect incoming mails before they reach your inbox. Various customizations can increase the efficacy, depending on your organizations business model and geographical footprint. Email security presents another of many security layers which when integrated together provide a significant remediation of threats.
Licensing – Cisco and Meraki licensing can be confusing and difficult to understand. We’ve earned years of experience in dealing with licensing issues. Cisco licensing has always been hard. By unifying your organization licensing under Hydrasat, we can engage with Cisco to clean up your licensing posture, see where there may be waste, look for areas of savings and manage this area of your network for you for no additional charge. Customers generally find this very useful and frequently overall savings in purchasing licenses are obtained just by having us manage the licensing centrally. Often the inventory takes considerable effort since we frequently see various different company names, variants of the same name and other confusions present in the inventory information possessed by customers. We can assist you in cleaning this up for no additional cost since our reward is selling you the cleaned up licensing at a great price in the end. We can help get you through the fog of licensing.
Structured network cabling – Hydrasat provides professional structured cabling services. Using cabling hardware from vendors like Panduit and Dynacom, we design and install quality network cabling systems. We’ve heard that cleanliness is next to Godliness; we spend time even in areas that are out of side to make the overall installation visually appealing, reliable and clean. Cabling is the lowest level of your LAN or Campus network, we can make it scalable and easy to maintain for on-site technicians.
Free Assessment – As a no charge, no strings attached service, Hydrasat offers a free assessment to assist you in determining network needs, areas of improvement, strategic planning, selecting appropriate products, or simply to just help you get third party input.
