Corporations today need to maintain at least one connection to the Internet in order to function with their business and some support multiple connections for their end-users, clients and business partners. These connections are highly exposed and readily traceable by outside parties.
igxglobal's StealthNet service provides crucial communication capabilities and access during an attack. Because the connection is veiled from the public, the service can provide a Security Operations Center (SOC) with anonymous pre- and post-attack forensics information. This allows an organization to glean critical information about the attack, without disclosing its identity as the source, and to prevent such an event occurring in the future.
This vulnerability leaves an organization’s connections wide open for a potential or even unintentional attack. Even the most highly congested sites with high level capacity connections -- including Yahoo! and CNN.com -- have become overwhelmed or saturated as the result of such transgressions.
igxglobal's StealthNet service is available as a primary, secondary or redundant Internet access point. With support for single or multiple points of access, the StealthNet guarantees redundancy through Internet Routing Protocols such as BGP. This added functionality allows an organization to use the StealthNet service for redundant connectivity from multiple igxglobal Secure Points of Presence (S-POP) while maintaining its anonymity.
Aside from the forensics and investigative advantages, the StealthNet service serves as a standard Internet access for all or part of a user community. This feature makes StealthNet a more ideal redundancy connection versus a traditional alternative carrier connection.
igxglobal's StealthNet service comes complete with the value-added services such as DNS, SMTP and IP address block. These services can be enhanced with an alternate domain to enable covert investigations by an organization's SOC. The security hardened DNS and mail services supplement the autonomous access of the StealthNet Internet service to preserve a company’s complete anonymity.
igxglobal also allocates an appropriate block of IP Addresses to satisfy requirements for supporting an entire organization, network or SOC.
Burstability is the percentage of bandwidth available to a given organization at a single point in time. It is arguably the single most important factor in overall security as the ability to burst during an attack provides the horsepower to endure the situation with little or no disruption to the end user.
igxglobal is committed to keeping its aggregate utilization at or below 10 percent. As a result, igxglobal delivers 90 percent burstability at crucial times, such as an outbreak of a worm or virus. The service also protects an organization during a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack, when utilization tends to be high on the Internet.
The StealthNet service is accessible through a variety of connection speeds, from 1.5 Mb/s to 155 Mb/s speeds. It is also available though a variety of mediums such as Point-to-Point, Frame Relay, ATM, SMDS, or DWDM. igxglobal provides all necessary support for these technologies as well as a designated SOC engineer to assist in the design and implementation of a reliable and cost effective solution.
All igxglobal StealthNet circuits are monitored 24/7 with tools that offer detailed diagnostics on the health of a circuit as well as end devices. The StealthNet Service continuously analyzes the interfaces, as well as IP and protocol traffic that traverse to and from a client’s site. At the first sign of a problem, igxglobal's SOC engineers immediately notify the client and proactively work to resolve the issue.
Detailed inbound and outbound traffic utilization information augments the access and security reports provided through igxglobal's other security services. An organization can track its access and usage on a real-time basis or identify utilization trends over a period of days, weeks, or months.
igxglobal handles every facet of Internet connectivity, from facilities requirements and provisioning details to interfacing with third parties and the final implementation of a router. We address any issues related to the effective delivery of our service. Given the unique nature of the offering and its intended use, igxglobal will also educate or train an organization on how to optimize the benefits of the StealthNet Service.
The StealthNET service is the ideal solution for any organization or department that values anonymity. Such scenarios include:
- Anonymity Conscientious Organizations
- Security Operations Centers
- Computer Forensics Teams
- Backup Connections in the event of denial of service
