As a leading Managed Security Service (MSS)
provider, VeriSign invests significant MSS revenues in research and
development. We use proprietary systems combined with best-of-breed,
open source and third-party tools to deliver reliable, efficient managed
security services.
MSS Client Resource Portal
Every VeriSign® Managed Security Services client
has easy, secure access to the VeriSign® Enterprise Security Portal
for a dashboard view of critical information as well as detailed reports
and query tools. The security management dashboard presents timely,
accurate and relevant security information tied to business value. An
ad hoc query engine enables sophisticated analysis of security events
for each security device under management, across platforms and locations.
Access is secured with token-based authentication and SSL encryption.
Security Defense Appliance
The VeriSign® Security Defense Appliance (SDA)
eliminates the footprint that most MSS providers require when managing
multiple devices at a client's site by opening a single IPSec tunnel
for all data traveling to and from VeriSign Secure Operations Centers
(SOCs). Installed on the customer’s premises, the SDA captures security
event logs and translates the information into an independent data model
that becomes the basis for the first level of event correlation. The
IPSec tunnel enables VeriSign engineers to manage change and configure
client devices across platforms without access to customer’s actual
data. A redundant, out-of-band dial-up modem ensures consistent security
protection, even if an SDA loses its VPN connectivity.
VeriSign TeraGuard
VeriSign® TeraGuard™, our proprietary information
management architecture, abstracts device data with one correlation
engine to support multiple firewalls, IDS/IPS and host platforms. From
a single stream of security-related events correlated from a number
of sources, VeriSign TeraGuard analyzes and prioritizes alerts based
on industry benchmarks, client requirements, and our own global security
intelligence. Consistent, timely reports are delivered to our SOC analysts
and clients via the VeriSign Enterprise Security Portal. This device-independent
data collection format allows a consistent level of service regardless
of which security technologies are deployed, and easily scales to accommodate
new security or network technologies.
Secure, Reliable Infrastructure
As the authoritative registry for all .com
and .net domain names, VeriSign is the leading provider of critical
infrastructure services for the Internet. VeriSign’s Advanced Transaction
Look-Up and Signaling (ATLAS™) global infrastructure is a sophisticated
software platform designed to scale the Internet’s core infrastructure,
the Domain Name System (DNS), and support the convergence of voice and
data networks. The ATLAS platform is deployed across global data centers
to provide fast, reliable response worldwide based on service and performance
needs. The redundant and secure design ensures availability and system
continuity as Internet traffic continues to grow worldwide.
