Information Security & Assessment
Design and installation of security equipment. IT intrusion testing. Technical measures and countermeasures, analysis and operation, staff training.
A correct conceptualization of Information Security requires the creation of a dedicated team able to manage both the physical security of the premises as well as the control of employees and various collaborators. If the protection of corporate data and know-how are faced mainly with the threat of external attacks (hacking), a true Information Security has to face all the risks of information capture arising from both internal components of the company (employees) and external to it (contractors, suppliers, consultants, cleaning companies, etc. ..) able to constitute a threat to corporate interests.
In addition to promote a better awareness of the importance of Information Security within the staff, a review and implementation of existing processes can represent a valid feedback of the levels of awareness reached within the organization regarding these issues.
E.B.I. can offer to its users the following services:
- Information Security

The theft of strategic information and illegal access to the communication systems of companies, often difficult to detect, are always at the origin of serious damages to the activities and to the company results, besides being a threat to the reputation and to the public image of the company. The identification of new and sophisticated listening devices requires high technology equipment and an important technical know-how. Our technicians have a long experience in the area of security countermeasures and technologies applied to Security, offering a wide range of services and performances including:

Technology Support for International Development
Globalization processes are forcing more and more national companies and SMEs to operate abroad, in areas often unknown and/or high risk.

The opportunities for development resulting from the globalization of economies on a global scale create new security problems: threats, turmoil and local conflicts are having an increasing impact on international problems.
However, government institutions in economically emerging countries do not always have the necessary knowledge, the economic and material resources to face such dangers or to deal with such lacks.
