The number and severity of computer network security incidents seems to increase exponentially with every passing year. Dominant Systems has been doing network security work since 1995 and helps small and medium sized companies protect their networks from viruses, malware, botnets, packet floods, snooping, DDoS attacks, hacking and other network security threats.
Why Dominant Systems?
Dominant Systems is uniquely qualified to perform network security assessments and remediation work. Unlike many practitioners who come from accounting or law enforcement backgrounds, we are experts in computer network systems. Our network security engineers all have over 10 years of experience installing and supporting secure networks and thus have experience in the practical application of security technologies. Besides discovering the problems, we can also provide the solutions to fix those problems.
Denial of Service Protection
Data Centers are being hit daily with a wide range of ever more damaging Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Such attacks can result in serious losses of time, corporate prestige, and money.
The Pravail Availability Protection System (APS) from Dominant Systems and Arbor Networks protects networks as well as firewalls and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) from overload due to DDoS attacks. Pravail does it through a combination of automatic and manual blocker settings presented in an easy to use graphical interface. In addition, Pravail can request assistance from upstream devices used like Arbor's Peakflow carrier class DDoS mitigation system.
Pravail - Offering protection against the following types of attacks:
Botnets
DNS request floods
SIP request floods
DNS cache poisoning
TCP/IP, ICMP, and UDP floods
Malformed HHTP headers
Spoofed or non-spoofed denial of service
Application-specific attacks
Location specific attacks
custom attacks
Blackenergy, Slowloris/Pyloris
Sockstress/Pucodex, ApacheKiller, YoYoDDoS, Darkness DDoS

Dominant Systems is authorized to sell and support the Pravail line of Availability Protection Systems (APS) from Arbor Networks to data center operators in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.
Internet Security Scan Reports
The Internet is a publicly accessible network and can represent a security risk to any business. Using the same tools that hackers use, one of our experienced engineers will scan your Internet connection and assess any vulnerability. Included with the report is a 1-hour consultation with one of our security specialists.
These reports are designed to be accurate yet affordable. Our Snapshot Scan uses one scanning program and provides a quick view of what your firewall looks like from the outside world. Our focus is on the small to medium size business. For more complex networks, we recommend a Thorough Scan, which uses four different scanners to scan your network over a multi-day period.
Comprehensive Network Security Assessments
Many security-related issues occur from inside a corporate network. An expensive firewall cannot protect you from a disgruntled employee or faulty data backups. One of our security engineers will use industry standard techniques to examine the security of your internal network infrastructure. This assessment is designed with small to medium-size businesses in mind.
Our Comprehensive Assessment includes an analysis of:
- Software Update Services
- Network Documentation
- Personnel Cross-training and Backup
- Intrusion Detection Systems
- Network Access and Segmentation
- Wireless Network Systems
- Potentially Illegal Activity
- Password Security
- External Infiltration Susceptibility
- Internal Infiltration Susceptibility
- Acceptable Use Policies
- Virus Detection and Removal Systems
- Spam Detection and Removal Systems
- Spyware / Malware Detection and Removal Systems
- Physical Access Control Systems
- Hardware and Software Fault Tolerance
Ala Carte Security Services Available
- Virus removal
- Hacker damage control
- Firewall configuration
- Acceptable Use Policy development
- Computer Forensics
In addition, all organizations that use our security services get a priority response in case of a security related emergency.

"XXXXXX Community College contracted with Dominant Systems to perform a comprehensive computer network security
assessment on all college servers and network components to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. Overall, we were very pleased with
the security assessment. The system evalauation was very throough and more in depth than just a process-oriented assessment. The Dominant Systems'
staff was very responsive and professional, and technically knowledgeable.
Since our system assessment, we have used Dominant Systems for another project related to
computer forensics. We were very satisfied with their performance during this project as well.
Given their work on the these projects, I would recommend Dominant Systems to other institutions seeking thorough information regarding the status of their computer network."
