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).
