Colo4 offers a fully managed security services solution. Our comprehensive suite of managed security services protects you from Internet attack, stopping unauthorized access and preventing worms, trojans, and viruses from taking down your network. Protect your network and keep in compliance with even the most complex data security regulations and policies. Our solution delivers both the technology and the around-the-clock expertise you need. Offerings can be implemented individually or bundled to meet your specific security requirements. Available services include:

• Firewall: A high-performance Linux-based solution that ensures the highest level of security by tracking and controlling the flow of data using stateful packet inspection of the traffic stream. This state-of-the-art firewall provides strong and transparent protection to block malicious traffic and enforce a consistent, company-wide security policy.
• Intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS): Detect anomalous, inappropriate, or other unauthorized data. The system captures and inspects all network traffic, regardless of whether it's permitted or not. When harmful or potentially harmful traffic is detected, protective actions are automatically triggered.
• Vulnerability scanning service: Finds, assesses, and reports on vulnerabilities present on the network infrastructure and endpoints. Through regularly scheduled and automated scans, the vulnerability scanning service identifies vulnerabilities present on assets, like web servers, financial systems, network infrastructure, and endpoints.
• VPN: An SSL-based virtual private network solution that establishes secure connections for remote network users. The VPN solution provides encryption, data integrity, and authentication.
• Content filtering: Creates a safe working environment, without pornography or offensive, hostile materials from being inadvertently distributed. Additionally, the service prevents employees from downloading, installing, and potentially redistributing illegal or unauthorized software and allows managers to investigate and assess any questionable user activity.
• Spam filtering: Protects mail server from receiving, storing, and managing worthless spam emails. The service typically eliminates 90 to 99% of spam with an extremely low false-positive rate (typically sub .01%). The filter employs more than 250 Bayesian and heuristic methods to block spam including wide-spectrum testing, header analysis, text analysis, blacklists, and Razor database support.
• Gateway anti-virus: Protects the network from a variety of virus types in the wild including Internet worm and hybrid (blended) threat outbreaks. New virus signatures are updated daily to protect against the latest threats.
