As an outsource security partner BAI provides managed security, managed firewall, managed ids, content filtering, internet security, network security, penetration testing, and vulnerability testing.

Most people have heard and are aware of the potential impact of key-logging and spyware/malware software existing on compromised systems.  Many assume this only happens to those individuals at home that do not have antivirus software and/or are careless regarding the suspect websites they visit.  However, it is a fact that many unsuspecting corporate networks face similar threats. 

It is not uncommon for BAI Security audit engineers to find such major threats lurking on key systems – even teller stations.  In addition, BAI’s Managed Security Service has identified cases where unusual outbound traffic patterns proved to be initiated by these internal threats, which were attempting to distribute sensitive information outside the organization.
