2. Secure Transport: Use of secure HTTPS transport over public networks. 

3. Regular Audits: Security measures undergo regular audits. 

4. Intrusion Detection and Prevention: IDS and IPS monitor and block malicious traffic. 
   

Architecture 

The network security architecture consists of multiple zones: 

1. Trusted Zones: Protect sensitive systems, like database servers. 

2. Function-based Zones: House systems based on their sensitivity. 

3. Demilitarized Zones (DMZs): Add an extra layer of security between the Internet and internal systems. 
   

Network Vulnerability Scanning 

Provides deep insight for quick identification and addressing of vulnerabilities. 

Third-Party Penetration Tests 

Annual tests by third-party security experts ensure robust defenses. 

Security Incident Event Management (SIEM) 

Gathers extensive logs, triggering alerts for investigation and response. 

Intrusion Detection and Prevention 

Monitors major data flow points, generating alerts for incidents. 

DDoS Mitigation 

Contracts with on-demand DDoS scrubbing providers to mitigate attacks. 

Logical Access 

Access to the Production Network is restricted on a need-to-know basis, uses least privilege, and is frequently audited and monitored. Employees use multi-factor authentication for access.

Security Incident Response 

24/7 teams for Operations, Network Engineering, and Security handle system alerts. Employees are trained in security incident response processes. 

Encryption 

1. Encryption in Transit: Uses HTTPS and TLS for secure communication. 

2. Encryption at Rest: Provides encryption for offsite storage and backups, with additional options for primary and secondary data-stores. 
   

Availability & Continuity 

1. Uptime: Guarantees a 99.9% uptime. 

2. Redundancy: Service clustering and network redundancies eliminate single points of failure. 

3. Disaster Recovery: DR program ensures services are recoverable in case of a disaster. Enhanced DR includes replication in a secondary site.
