Security

Security begins by knowing who is accessing what, and from which device – Altron’s world-class Identity Security solutions are designed to cater for your every need – securing and managing the identities of your workforce, your customers and the individual devices connecting to your network.

Altron offers Modern Identity Services to ‘clean up’ fragmented user account silos. We enable central services for your employees’ and partners’ user accounts and their associated access. We also leverage federation, access management, strong authentication, authorisation engines and machine learning to create a set of services that can be used by all software developers. Your IT environment will benefit from standards-based identity protocols, managed access and strong authentication.

It is a known fact that cyber-criminals are often able to break into secure environments by using social engineering techniques and employees’ personal information shared on social media. It is for this reason we recommend biometric identification, as this delivers a far higher degree of security than manual processes such as passwords, e-mail addresses or personal identity numbers (PINs). Because biometrics utilise an individual’s unique characteristics, such as fingerprints and voice, they not only offer robust security, but also free users from the problems of remembering passwords and PINs.

Our biometric verification and authentication solutions are able to curb fraud resulting from identity theft and misrepresentation, by supplying end-to-end biometric identity and access management hardware, along with software and consulting solutions that meet the needs for biometric enrolment, authentication and verification. Our reputation in this arena is such that we are a trusted partner to the Top five banks, as well as to both government and several large telecommunications companies in South Africa.

Just as imperative, security-wise, is the need to stay on top of the joiners, movers and leavers of your workforce. Identifying users and managing their access is ‘mission critical’ for Identity Security – because movers or leavers often cause scattered access legacies, entitlement creep or worse. We provide an Identity Governance solution that ensures that each of your employees has the appropriate ‘least privilege’ access. The new joiner process is automated as far as possible through a single user interface to select and approve access.these Identity Governance solutions address the challenges your company may experience in managing a diverse set of user account challenges.

The ‘holy grail’ of Digital Transformation solutions is to create common identity security services for both your workforce and your consumers. Altron is able to deliver agile solutions that make standards-based identity protocols available for Consumer Identity Management, leveraging services for multi-factor authentication, authorisation and personalisation.

We are able to provide you with digital solutions that cover all aspects of consumer identity security, from registration and a single sign-on, to a unified consumer profile, personalisation and secure customer authentication.

Your customer data is your most important digital asset and – in light of the growing cyber-security threats, along with an increasingly strict body of legislation such as PoPIA and GDPR – Altron is the trusted partner you need to secure this data and your IT systems infrastructure, while still delivering an excellent user experience.

We have the knowledge, skills and solutions to deliver world-class Identity Security solutions that cater to your every need; we are experts in controlling access to your legacy systems; and we can help you to understand how your security must evolve as you embark on your Digital Transformation journey.

Managed security services are an ideal and invaluable resource for businesses that want to maximise their ICT security, but either do not have the resources to build a large cyber-security team internally, or want their internal people focused on the company’s core business.

Our team of skilled security practitioners will ensure that your organisation’s IT security is always up-to-date and ready to handle whatever security challenges may arise with regard to your devices, services or cloud solutions.

To ensure your organisation’s devices are effectively and securely managed, Altron offers its resources and expertise in Secure Gateway Management, as a means to prevent costly breaches.

Our IPS and firewall services are cost-effective, and we will provide your business with the vital skills and knowledge necessary to manage your existing technology and keep pace with the rising complexity of threats and cyber-attacks. In addition, our Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is an integrated endpoint security solution that combines real-time continuous monitoring and collection of endpoint data with rules-based automated response and analysis capabilities.

EDR security will help detect and block malware downloaded and executed through a phishing e-mail or even by a user visiting a website that has malware embedded on it. At the same time, the Altron Security Operations Centre (SOC) is able to see flow of events from when the malware is downloaded to what commands using legitimate programs are executed, lateral movement attempts, file encryption, or any other malicious behaviour.

It is clear that the move from on-premise data centres to a cloud-first strategy has had a major influence on how enterprises manage their IT requirements. Most notably, it has driven a growing demand for outsourced offerings, as these can provide both the flexibility needed to address new challenges and the requisite skills and experience to manage these environments.

At Altron, our managed cloud security solutions all follow best practice guidelines, thereby ensuring increased cost efficiencies and optimum results with minimum business risk. We are also continually investing in the necessary skills and tools that enable us to seamlessly manage this technology shift for our customers.
