Secure Internet Enterprise Gateway Environment (SIEGE)

The mbits Secure Internet Enterprise Gateway Environment (SIEGE) is offered as a fully managed end to end service. SIEGE comprises secure web hosting, email, secure firewall management, secure remote access, application based filtering and the latest security information and event management SIEM capability.

 

Through its highly innovative design incorporating the latest technology, mbits SIEGE delivers generational change in secure gateway functionality and capability.

 

In developing SIEGE mbits removed legacy technology limitations entirely which over time have restricted and constrained existing gateway service offerings. Coupled with removal of these limitations, came clear understanding of “what is increasingly required" in meeting current and emerging security threats, security policy, delivery of best practice threat management and mitigation, provision of online services and responsive change management.

 

mbits has built & designed SIEGE with Federal Government in mind, with particualr attention to the specific needs and requirements of small to medium sized agencies. mbits SIEGE scales from the smallest agency to the largest Department cost effectively.

 

People

mbits has secured the services of highly experienced, qualified personnel with the skills, expertise and “service ethic” to build, manage and support SIEGE. As with all mbits staff, these personnel reside and are physically located in the ACT/Federal Region with the infrastructure in place to support customers wherever they reside.

Key Infrastructure

The physical gateway infrastructure is located in the T4 rated mbits Data Centre, Canberra.

The Service Desk supporting the Gateway service is ITIL (ITSM) compliant and also physically located in the Federal region.
