GDS works with clients to minimize the time required to correctly address high risk network infrastructure security vulnerabilities. By working directly with company management and system administrators, GDS provides a prioritized and detailed game plan that addresses each security flaw in the context of the company's network environment.

Approach

GDS will construct the required detailed remediation plan(s), aid in execution, provide configuration and patch management guidance to system administrators, track each item to completion, and communicate the overall project status to company management. The end goal is to provide the tools and knowledge transfer that will prevent GDS clients from making the same mistake twice. The true value of this approach is realized when allocating resources to address identified security issues. A lack of in-house technical security expertise often results in issue misinterpretation, uncertainty about the correct configuration change or security patch to be applied, and unnecessary release cycles due to erroneous or incomplete fixes. GDS security engineers will ensure the most secure and practical fix reaches production quickly, the first time.

Deliverables

The GDS remediation project deliverables typically include the following detailed information:

• Estimated project plan with dates and milestones
• Network host or device to be addressed
• Recommended configuration changes and/or patches to remediate issues
• Network architecture considerations
• A test plan for regression testing
• Task status indicators
