EasyLink / Cyber Security
Security starts with knowing what needs protection.EasyLink’s department map identifies firewall and endpoint security as focus areas. The useful first step is to understand users, devices, access paths and the systems that would be affected by a security incident.
Who this is for
Start with the environment you have.For teams reviewing perimeter controls, endpoint protection or the ownership of day-to-day security decisions. The precise deliverables, products, coverage and support responsibilities are agreed before work begins.
Areas of work
A practical look at the department.These topics come from EasyLink's supplied department map. Each one has its own design and ownership decisions.
Identify device groups, protection needs, alert ownership and the steps taken when an issue is detected.
Compare fit, deployment requirements and operating responsibilities before selecting a platform.
Document who administers controls, receives alerts and approves changes in the agreed scope.
The supplied department map names Sophos, Fortinet, ESET, CrowdStrike and Bitdefender as technology options. Their appearance here does not imply a partnership, accreditation or that every product is included in an EasyLink engagement.
How a project takes shape

Questions to settle
Know what you are agreeing to.Which security platform should we choose?
The answer depends on your devices, network, existing tools and people available to operate the controls. Product selection should follow an environment review.
Does a firewall replace endpoint protection?
No. They address different parts of the environment. Access, devices, data and recovery need separate decisions.
Is continuous monitoring included?
Coverage and alert response must be agreed explicitly in the service scope. This page does not promise around-the-clock monitoring.
