What Is Quick Deployment Secure Silo (QDSS)
A silo provides a sandbox solution running behind its own zoned off area delimited by a web application firewall (WAF). This in turn allows a company two key benefits:
-
Secure mission critical information and applications.
-
Allow vulnerable legacy applications and environments that are simply too complex or costly to re-engineer to continue to run in a way that does not impact the security of the rest of the infrastructure.
What is it for?
Some mission critical systems may not be compatible with the latest version of the operating system, require an outdated underlying vulnerable platform to work correctly or the application that the business depends on is no longer in development, has multiple vulnerabilities identified but there is no application patch available. With the fast paced movement of cyber warfare, enterprises are left scrambling to find a system that can be deployed rapidly. With our Quick Deployment Secure Silo (QDSS), which does not require long extensive downtime, companies are able to rapidly secure their current solution then remediate or upgrade to a new solution in a planned fashion.
What are the benefits?
The benefit of a silo is to have mission critical or a known vulnerable system walled off from the rest of the network in a sandbox environment that still allows securely controlled access as required to operate.
How we do it
Implemented by separating ports, protocols and services. While automatically checking requests in and out the environment for correct syntax to prevent malicious activity from traversing the the secure zone. In order to implement this we would be leveraging several key and well known technologies on a virtual or physical layer.
