Iranian Software Offers Higher Security to Computer Networks

The domestic knowledge-based company has developed a software that can control users’ access to an organization’s computer network and help maintain its security

An Iranian knowledge-based company has developed a system that provides higher security to organizations and offices using a large computer network compared to foreign counterparts.

Sepehr Hashtroudiler, CEO of Ideh-Sazan Novin-e Danesh Ertebat Company, said a large number of people working in an office require a wide range of network equipment such as servers, routers and switches.

The CEO noted that the Privileged Access Management [PAM] system authenticates users working in large networks, the news portal of Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology reported.

As controlled access to internal or external interactions is a major concern of large organizations, security becomes a key issue.

PAM is an information security (infosec) mechanism that controls users’ wide range of access to the organization’s network while safeguarding the identity of users with special access. Like all other infosec solutions, PAM works through a combination of people, processes and technology.

In order to create a secure platform for authorized access to network services and resources, and by considering different levels of confidentiality, this product provides access to network resources to admin users so that all activities are recorded and even automatically warns of activities that users should avoid, which could could be risky or harmful for the organization.

The ability to use a one-time password (OTM), token, dedicated login system, ability to monitor user activities, execute commands as scheduled on each device or in groups, share documents and prevent system messing are among the features of this product.

User access management based on time, a wide range of commands and access levels and the ability to extract statistics and report without similar backup services are other features of this product.

East Azarbaijan Telecommunications Company is currently using this system. 

Hashtroudiler said the software’s support of all brands and systems, being completely web-friendly and user-friendly, and the ability to search for history and compare backups are some of the important features of this system.

In this knowledge-based company, six employees are working directly and six others are involved indirectly.

“Although the domestic software offers very good support services and has many capabilities, some organizations and departments purchase and use similar foreign software,” he said. 

 

 

ERP Software to Aid Corporate Management

A domestic knowledge-based company has developed an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that helps manage a company's financials, supply chain, operations, commerce, reporting, manufacturing and human resource activities.

“Given the condition of a company, the implementation of different projects undoubtedly requires the use of standard, comprehensive, applied and tested methodologies to ensure success and reduce risks,” Ardavan Ghaffari, the CEO of knowledge-based Behineh Kooshan Sepehr Company, was quoted as saying.

With the enterprise resource planning software, project preparation and planning, design and improvement of business processes, data collection, conversion and transfer of basic information, Enterprise Resource Planning solution testing, software training for users, real environment testing and software consolidation becomes effortless, the news portal of Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology reported.

Some of the most crucial measures in using the ERP software include the collection, conversion and transfer of basic and operational information.

In this phase, the information structure and standards required for the transfer of data are provided to the company. Then, after analyzing the information and making any necessary changes to the information structure by the ERP solution, data will be transferred automatically to the database. 

Due to the importance of up-to-date data and operational information, the transfer process takes place before the final commissioning in the real environment.

In general, the software, which is mostly used in production centers, is responsible for integrating every process and facilitating management. 

The CEO of knowledge-based company noted that the domestic enterprise resource planning software is priced at one-20th of foreign counterparts. 

Ghaffari explained that the software also eases communication with customers and can be customized.

“To date, 90 direct jobs and 150 indirect jobs have been created by Behineh Kooshan Sepehr Company,” he said.
