AKS IT Services: Ensuring Safer and Secure Web for All

By

In this technology dominated era, Information Technology (IT) has become a vital and integral part of businesses. The role of IT in everyday life is further going to increase with rapid proliferation of IoT (Internet of Things). While this revolution of “always connected” devices is creating new opportunities, this transition is also creating a broader attack surface for violators. These violators are becoming increasingly innovative and are using sophisticated methods to breach security and steal critical information. Owing to such growing challenges, every company must secure itself from being exposed to cyber crime by conducting security audit for discovery and patching of vulnerabilities before adopting new technology.

For almost a decade now, AKS IT Services (ISO 27001:2013 & 9001:2008 certified company) headquartered in Delhi NCR, has been providing security solutions to government and companies through security Auditing and Consultancy. “From Mobile and Web applications security, Network, Telecom and Cloud security to cyber forensics and industrial control system security, AKS IT has been consistently offering cyber security services to its customers”, says Anshul Saxena, COO, AKS IT Services Pvt. Ltd.

Crime has no boundaries and limitations and in this digitalized world, cyber crimes are an epidemic. However, AKS IT services is equipped with unique methods and required tools to overcome cyber crimes and provides a complete forensic lab with its AKS Forensic Workstations for breaking passwords, and retrieving deleted files. In addition, they provide Cyber Forensic trainings to help law enforcement agencies in producing necessary Data and Evidences in Court of law.

At present major industries are opting for composed, automated, self regulating systems, known as ICS (Industrial control system) but as the benefits of using ICS are limitless so are the potential threats. Being one of the leading security experts, AKS IT performs risk assessment and security testing of hardware before putting them into use in production. Further, AKS IT performs business continuity planning and disaster recovery (BCP-DR) and formulates policies to ensure all the critical systems are in redundant mode and all updates and patches are being carried out on a stimulated environment before deploying to production. Thus, there are two systems actively running. In case one system goes down other takes over without any loss of time which ensures 24X 7 operations with no interruption.

The popularity of cloud computing and cloud based services is growing. This transitions of business to cloud cannot be ignored. With experience of over 4000 security audits, the company excels in mobile and web application Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. Empaneled with CERT-In, NIC, IAF, Army, etc. the company follows industry best practices to ensure security and conducts security audits based on Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and NIST-800-144.

Roadmap of AKS IT Services
The dense and the vast hovering Cyber crimes in IT field have just begun spreading its wings and it’s cleaning and prevention has a long way to go. One such potentially big threat is that of Distributed Denial of Service or DDoS. In this type of attack, a multitude of compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing denial of service for users of the targeted system. In the past decade, DDoS attack has increased 50 folds! The unwavering commitment to tackle every big and small cyber threat, AKS IT Services is coming out with an indigenous Anti-DDoS solution to mitigate the threats imposed by DDoS attacks to organizations.

Given that India is short of 5 Lakh security professionals, the company will expand its offering in providing security training in various disciplines of Information and Network Security to both professionals as well as students.

With a vision to build comprehensive security tools and solutions, and ensuring safer web for all, AKS continues to brace its security offerings of security consulting, auditing and compliance with full customer satisfaction.
