Nettlinx
strives to ensure uninterrupted service and a high
level of security. Nettlinx
has developed a comprehensive approach to safeguard
all infrastructure & services right from Network
level to Application level.

Data Center Security
Data Centers are physically isolated from everyone but
level three technicians. Public access is strictly forbidden.
Data Centers are equipped & monitored round the clock
with closed circuits. Strict access controls are implemented
including keycard protocols/biometric scanning protocols
and continuous interior and exterior surveillance.
Network Security
Data Centers used by our Virtual Data Center infrastructure
has fully switched network. Traffic destined for a website
hosted on a server is sent only through switching equipment
necessary to deliver the information to that server.
This minimizes the risk of someone sniffing or capturing
traffic being sent across the network.
Operating Systems
All our servers are installed with Enterprise version
of Linux or Windows 2003. We do not use operating systems
which are known to have security loop holes. All our
servers' operating systems are automatically patched
at regular interval. This ensures that servers are always
protected against all known vulnerabilities with latest
security patches.
Server Access
Access to servers is restricted. Console/Shell access
to our servers is restricted only from our Hosting Operations
Center for management purpose only.
Operating System Hardening
We follow a strict Security Audit Process. All unwanted
services on servers are disabled. Operating System applications & commands
including compilers (which are used by hackers to compile
programs and gain access) are removed.
Firewall
Our Virtual Data Center Infrastructure is protected
by Firewall at various levels. Our Security Audit Team
monitors traffic with-in and out-of our network & ensure
that necessary security settings are implemented as and
when required to safeguard all our services, servers
and your data.
Remote Port Monitoring
All our servers are monitored for server ports remotely
every alternate minute by Live-Alert, our own proprietary
port monitoring system. If system detects any open ports
besides the allowed ports, our Security Audit Team is
immediately alerted.
In most compromised systems, hackers install and runs
backdoor services, backdoor consoles or services like
IRC / Chat Servers which opens a port on server. Such
attempts are immediately detected.
Process Monitoring
Process Monitoring Robot checks all running processes
along with Load on every servers. If robots detects any
unauthorized process or processes eating up resources
beyond allowed threshold or are found to malfunction,
are immediately terminated. In case of any of such events,
email & SMS alerts are sent to Security Team for
further investigation. Process monitoring robots are
also capable of restarting or terminating any process
required for smooth functionality of servers.
Application Security
Most of our server management applications & control
panels are in-house developed. Any 3rd party products
go through a thorough security & performance testing
before they are deployed on servers. Any such third party
applications are monitored regularly for their functionality.
Data & Directory Protections
User on the server are restricted only to their designated
directories. This ensures that no other user on the same
server has access to your files (unless granted with
permissions). |
