Introduction

Today there are very few stand-alone or single architecture systems, and therefore most solutions demand an in-depth knowledge of multiple operating-systems, platforms, and platform integration. Virtualisation has now moved from esoteric to the main-stream, and customers are becoming ever more demanding, and are more focused on the security of both their internal and customer-facing systems, and of squeezing the last ounce of performance from their hardware.

There are now many rules and regulations such as SOX (Sarbannes-Oxley), ISO-27001, and PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), that force companies to to make costly and extensive changes to the way they operate. These rules also apply even when the company is not based in the country concerned, but simply do business there, and unfortunately ignorance is no protection under the law!

Security leaks and non-compliances cannot only lead to costly legal action, but can also massively damage a company's reputation and standing, which in extreme cases, could even force them out of business.

Business owners and managers and are also legally obliged to monitor their staff's compliance and understanding of the rules, and to protect any data that the company holds, since they can be held personally responsible for any violation, and the actions of others!

As a result the global security industry has grown rapidly in the past few years, and this growth is set to increase. There are many companies that supply management consultants who advise on risks and security policies, however many are unable to carry-out any hands-on remedial work.

Mediatech Ltd. specialises in midrange "platform" security and technical support, concentrating on AIX, Linux, and other Unix flavours, from the inside-out as well as the outside in. This is particularly significant as many company's mistakenly believe that they can blindly trust their staff, and that threats only come from outside of the business. These problems are further exasperated by the fact that many workers are mobile and the traditional security permiter has largely disappeared.
