Security as a Service

3ROX's Security as a Service (SecAAS) provides members a powerful resource to start or augment their security program. 3ROX's SecAAS service comprises several components which may be subscribed to individually or as a whole.

The first component of the 3ROX SecAAS offering is vulnerability scanning. 3ROX uses an open source software suite to detect vulnerable software versions or configurations and system weaknesses in networks or communications equipment. Regular scans are performed and sent to the SecAAS member with advice given on serious issues.

In addition, SecAAS members' networks are enrolled in various Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and malicious activity monitoring services. If a member's network is reported, the details are sent to the campus security contact with recommendations for remediation.

The last component of the SecAAS service is an Intrusion Detection Service. Reports are regularly generated, shared, and discussed with the SecAAS member.

 

Contact 3ROX to find out more about the SecAAS program or to enroll.

Network services

3ROX has been excelling in providing network services for  researchers, universities, K-12 audiences and community resources for more than 25 years.   We offer our members low-cost, stable, high-bandwidth connections and top-notch technical support. 

Reduce your networking costs

With a commercial ISP, your charges are based on usage.  With these "metered" connections, the more you use, the more you pay.  But 3ROX routes as much of your traffic as possible through unmetered connections - networks based on a fixed fee - which reduces your network costs by limiting the amount of metered traffic you pay for.
