Re: TruSecure Organization :VSMail mx2

I did work with Trusecure intensively in the past to verify our firewall procedures.  They first performed a port scan 
on our firewall to ensure our open ports did not put us at any significant risk.  Once we secured the ports and stopped 
our mail relaying, they scheduled an onsite visit to review physical security and demonstrate their website.  The 
person who came on site provides excellent advice and training.  Then we had to schedule a second site visit which also 
went very well.  

During the process you have access to their portal page where you document your network, staff, etc.  I believe there 
is a seven step process to attaining their certification.  You can track your status through the portal.

Their staff was very good and very professional.  The only issue I had with them was that when we were getting 
certified I was fairly new to security and to my position with my company.  My company runs a BorderManager firewall 
which is anything but user friendly, so closing ports was a bit difficult and they didnt' have any experience with this 
firewall, so they could not provide my any assistance while I learned the ropes so to speak.

Besides that I highly recommend them.

Hi,

Has anyone used TruSecure Organization to supplement their security efforts? 
 A short background is our IT Department will be using the TruSecure to 
help ensure that the security for servers (Unix, Win2K/Nt, Aix) and Cisco 
routers is proper. I was curious about how the following groups interfaced 
their daily work efforts with TruSecure: internal/external auditors, IT 
Security, Server/Network Staff, etc.
