Security Support

Mineral Gap  believes in cutting-edge, forward-thinking security measures. Our facility was built with physical and cybersecurity top-of-mind from day one. Through Mineral Gap’s Managed Services Desk, you have access to our Cloud Assist Security Foundations Bundle, which helps detect, prevent and remediate malicious attacks against your company. This bundle of services includes:

  • • Secure Internet Gateway: The first step toward advanced cybersecurity is to predict attacks before they happen and expand your threat protection beyond the perimeter by removing your DNS blind spot. Protect your users anywhere they access the internet from ever more sophisticated cyber attackers before they can even launch.

  • • NextGen Endpoint Protection: Our enhanced level of defense protects your endpoints in the event an attacker does get through. Our next-generation antivirus solution uses an artificial intelligence and machine learning approach to predict, identify and prevent both known and Day Zero cyber threats from ever executing or causing harm to your endpoints.

  • • Security Awareness: We believe employees should receive systematic security awareness training because they are frequently exposed to advanced phishing and ransomware attacks and can thus become the weak link in your cybersecurity system. We can help you empower your employees to combat the continuing problem of social engineering.

  • • NextGen Firewall: To prevent threats effectively, any network needs to reduce the avenues of attack by controlling which applications run on it. Our NextGen Firewall scans “allowed” application traffic for threats more broadly, while not limiting them to a strict definition of a particular type of threat.
