Endpoints are centrally managed and secured through next-gen malware detection & response, software installation controls, configuration management, and monitoring solutions. Systems are hardened to reduce the attack surface. Strong authentication mechanisms are enforced, including automatic session termination in case of inactivity. Corporate networks are protected by strict security mechanisms (e.g., access control, segregation, secure protocols and connection, firewalls, IDS, IPS, etc.). Suspicious connections are filtered. Access to cloud-based environments and services must comply with the identity and access management security requirements, including MFA. IT resources are regularly backed up to support the continuity of business operations and information security. Systems are be calibrated, maintained, and assessed regularly to ensure their availability, efficiency, and performance. Patch management processes are executed to remediate vulnerabilities. Encryption controls using industry-accepted parameters are defined, and are implemented in accordance with the applicable legislation, considering the criticality of information and systems as well. IT assets are managed and tracked throughout their lifecycle, to ensure they remain up-to-date. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://trustcenter.syntphony.com/trust-center/security/security-in-it-operations.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
