Network Geographics - Consulting Services

Consulting Services

The team at Network Geographics has many decades of experience developing large, secure and reliable systems. Our expertise could help your organization deal with research, design, and development in a number of areas. Our Consulting Datasheet summarizes our offerings.

In all areas, we can review your existing implementations to help you understand your current stance. We can help you determine whether your current implementation really implements what your security policy says that it should. We can help you design, prototype, or develop your next generation system.

Firewall Migration Services

Network Geographics is now offering consulting services to translate firewall configurations from one vendor platform to another vendor platform.

These services are available because Network Geographics' configuration analysis technology can also be used to support automated translation of firewall configurations. The use of automation means that the conversion is faster and more accurate compared to conversions done by hand without tools. Additional accuracy and confidence is available through the use of Network Geographics products to perform cross-platform comparisons to verify that the functionality has been preserved.

Our technological advantage means that not only are our results fast and accurate, we can also offer very competitive rates. Contact us for further details or a quote.

Netfilter Traffic Engineering

Our team has experience with the netfilter and iproute2 subsystems for controlling network traffic on Linux platforms. We have developed tools to generate and manage iptables and traffic control configurations. We have also developed and augmented kernel modules to update iptables functionality.

Software Forensics

We have leveraged our broad knowledge of architecture, system software, and security to find evidence about how systems are compromised. This involves analyzing logs, intermediate files, and machine code. Our security background means our analysis and reports are well reasoned and supported by evidence that is difficult to deny.

Network Security

We have developed and managed firewalls and IPSec gateways since near the time that both technologies appeared. We are experienced with the standard elements of network security including firewalls, VPNs, wireless security and intrusion detection.

Embedded System Development

In addition to developing large enterprise-class software projects, we have experience developing targeted, embedded and real time system. Over the years, we have developed systems for the LSI11, Motorola 6502 and 68K, Z80, and iWarp. More recently we have been developing control programs for the Atmel 1280. We have developed network and mouse driver code on Windows NT systems. We have developed Linux kernel modules for the netfilter framework.

With our extensive experience, we can efficiently design and debug embedded and kernel level systems. We know how to make a good trade-off between development speed, maintainability, and performance.

Operating System Security

We have experience working with a variety of operating systems ranging from Linux and Windows XP/Vista to runtime OS's on embedded platforms. We have experience with trusted operating systems most recently with the mandatory access controls (MAC) offered with Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux).
