What is Application Security?

Application security refers to the measures taken to prevent vulnerabilities and data breaches by finding, fixing, and enhancing security in applications.

Checking for vulnerabilities and flaws in your applications, both on your network and in the cloud, is fast becoming an essential practice as threats become more prevalent and sophisticated and as hackers increasingly target apps in their attacks. App security should be considered preventatively during development but can also be employed to protect apps already deployed. Tools that integrate into your application development environment can make process and workflow more efficient.

 

 

Reduce Your Attack Surface

Securing apps to prevent the exploit of vulnerabilities help reduce your attack surface and ultimately reduce risk and keep your data and operations safe. GDS Africa strives to better protect our customers’ data and brand and enable positive business outcomes. We leverage partnerships with leading technology providers and couple that with deep technical knowledge and experience, providing a consultative and comprehensive approach to reducing your attack surface and improving your security posture.

What is Cloud Security?

Cloud security refers to the policies, technologies, applications and controls that work together to protect cloud-based systems, services, data and infrastructure.

As workloads increasingly move to the cloud, traditional security tools aren’t always designed for the unique challenges of cloud adoption. New concerns have arisen around data loss, data privacy and data breaches. Better visibility and strong security management and control solutions designed specifically for the cloud are required to protect data and be compliant, whether you are managing public, private or hybrid environments.

 

 

Secure Multi-Cloud Workloads

A transparent and secure cloud environment helps reduce risk to keep your data and operations safe.

What is Data Security?

Data security is the practice of protecting digital data from destructive forces, unauthorized users and unwanted actions such as a cyber-attack or data breach.

Data is at the core of every organization. Knowing where your data is located and who has access, as well as if your data practices are compliant with current regulations is critical to your business operations. Cyber threats can come both from external and internal sources and having visibility into data flows is a fundamental requirement to understanding where your risks are. With effective governance, visibility and control, encryption and structured monitoring and management, we can secure mission critical data and keep our most critical assets safe.

 

 

Secure Mission Critical Data

Effective data protection starts with creating a culture of security within an organization through a mix of technology, training and risk governance. GDS Africa strives to better protect our customers’ data and brand and enable positive business outcomes. We leverage partnerships with leading technology providers and couple that with deep technical knowledge and experience, providing a consultative and comprehensive approach to data privacy and protection by securing mission critical data and improving your security posture

What is Endpoint Security?

Endpoint security ensures the protection of endpoints, or points of entry to your network, through connected devices. This includes laptops, tablets, mobile phones and other wireless devices that create an attack path for security threats.

Today’s endpoint protection must go beyond just anti-virus software. Your endpoints are your weakest links in your organization and are often overlooked as a major attack vector, with only a small percentage of IT budget dedicated to endpoint security. An endpoint breach gives the bad guys access to your devices and your network, enabling the ability to leak sensitive data and deliver ransomware. The cost of one piece of ransomware can be catastrophic to your business operations and brand reputation. By protecting endpoints, we prevent threats from ever getting in. With a strategy that incorporates prevention, detection, awareness and response, we can stop disruptive cyber threats and keep our networks safe.

 

 

Stop Disruptive Cyber Threats

Secure endpoints help stop disruptive threats to ultimately reduce risk and keep your data and operations safe. GDS Africa strives to better protect our customers’ data and brand and enable positive business outcomes. We leverage partnerships with leading technology providers and couple that with deep technical knowledge and experience, providing a consultative and comprehensive approach to stopping disruptive cyber threats and improving your security posture.

What is Network Security?

Network security is the policies and practices used to monitor and prevent unauthorized access and misuse of a computer network and network-accessible resources. If the network and its traffic is the highway by which we gather and disseminate information – it is also the conduit by which threats will traverse. A stable and efficient network security system is essential in order to protect data and reduce risk. Increasing and improving network visibility, creating access control & policies and segmenting the network can reduce the attack surface and keep your most critical assets safe.

 

 

Reduce Your Attack Surface

A stable, safe, transparent network helps reduce your attack surface to ultimately reduce risk and keep your data and operations safe. GDS Africa strives to better protect our customers’ data and brand and enable positive business outcomes. We leverage partnerships with leading technology providers and couple that with deep technical knowledge and experience, providing a consultative and comprehensive approach to reducing your attack surface and improving your security posture.

What is SecOps & Analytics?

SecOps is the practice of aligning security and operations teams through a shared set of processes and technology for ongoing protection of an organization’s data. Shared visibility supported by analytics and automation drives efficiency and accelerates innovation.

Organizations are facing an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape with a growing number of security alerts compounded by gaps in security monitoring. Many of these issues can be minimized as security and IT operations join forces. Establishing a SecOps function consolidates processes which can ultimately help provide greater visibly into vulnerabilities, enable reduced dwell time, and strengthen defenses. Incorporating security analytics into this process helps organizations proactively take measures to detect threats, meet compliance standards, and improve overall security posture.
 

 

Optimize Your Defenses

Organizations that use SecOps and security analytics to help streamline, standardize and analyze data and operations experience greater security efficiency. GDS Africa strives to better protect our customers’ data and brand and enable positive business outcomes. We leverage partnerships with leading technology providers and couple that with deep technical knowledge and experience, providing a consultative and comprehensive approach to optimizing your defenses and improving your security posture
