Protecting Data & Critical Infrastructure
Submenu
Your data is one of your most important assets, and it needs to be protected. Your data could include Personally Identifiable Information (PII) for your employees, system and process trade secrets, and potentially other sensitive or classified information, all of which is valuable to those seeking to reduce your competitive advantage, undermine the mission effectiveness of your operations, or put your workforce at risk.
As the Internet of Things explodes, the requirement to protect data, end points, and connected infrastructure becomes increasingly crucial as the potential vulnerabilities grow. Our solutions combine technology with processes to deploy secure network operations, protecting your data and your critical infrastructure.
Policy and Process Development
Some of the most impactful data and critical infrastructure protection solutions are rooted in smart policies and processes, not technology. Simple fixes like effective patch management and password enforcement policies seem trivial, but are often contributory to a breach if not implemented with discipline. We help our clients identify the optimal cybersecurity policies and processes, leveraging NIST SP 800-171 process controls best practices and DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements, to not only achieve required compliance, but smartly and cost-effectively protect their assets.

Due to the unique operational nature of client devices, the Med-COI transition required a tailored approach to the Risk Management Framework (RMF).
Secure Network Operations
Your network environment likely includes on-premises infrastructure and cloud resources used to store and transport data and control your critical operations. To protect that data and critical infrastructure, you need effective 24-7 network operations monitoring to proactively identify potential threats and minimize the impact of an attack when it occurs. We help clients establish and optimize their Cyber Operations Centers to enable effective incident response, provide secure access to disparate data sets for analytics, and harness the power of hybrid network infrastructure environments.

Sentar’s professionals worked with the client across a range of technical areas to monitor client network data for intrusions or malicious activity.
Identity and Access Management/PKI
You know who should have access to your information, and deploying appropriate identity and access management solutions is a critical part of securing that data. Whether you’re accessing data from different repositories at the same security level, or managing data access at different classification levels, we help clients develop and implement those solutions that leverage proven Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), along with other technologies and methodologies, to ensure only the people you’ve authorized can access sensitive information.
Case Study: Reducing Enterprise Cyber Risk
Prior to our involvement, the client’s reporting was manual and labor-intensive, frustrating the organization’s ability to address cyber compliance issues.
