Anchor Secure

The SANS Institute (a co-operative research and education organisation) reports that computers connected to the Internet without firewalling and patching are regularly compromised in as little 10 minutes.

Anchor Secure support pack was designed to protect your server from the most common security risks by keeping your server up to date with the latest patches and installing and managing a firewall.

Anchor Secure is ideal for people that need to have their own server, but don’t know how to look after the security, or simply don’t have the time or inclination.

Monitoring

Routine checking to ensure core Internet facing services are running:

  • Ping
  • Web (HTTP)
  • Mail (SMTP, POP3, IMAP)
  • SSH
  • FTP

In addition to the core services, Anchor will monitor up to 5 additional points that you request. For example, we can tell the monitoring system to look for a specific word on a page to ensure that the desired output is being provided to visitors.

The status of each service is checked every 2 minutes. All changes to status are logged and alerts are provided to Anchor staff.

Monitoring alerts can be sent to you via email or SMS (for an additional charge).

Basic fault rectification

In the event that outage is detected our technical staff are automatically notified 24 × 7. They will login and perform a basic diagnosis. If the problem can be easily rectified, it will be. If there is a complex issue you will be notified as the resolution may involve additional charges.

Security

In order to maintain the security of your server, Anchor installs and maintains a host based firewall. You can request changes and advice relating to the firewall configuration at any time.

Application of all vendor supplied patches to the operating system and supported applications on your server are also performed by Anchor. Patching of applications is a critical part of security maintenance to ensure that known vulnerabilities are eliminated before they are exploited.
