Arrakis is a full featured Information Technology company that covers all aspects of information security, compliance, governance, audit, and regulatory environments. As a part of getting clients compliant with any particular regulation or to achieve a specific client objective, Arrakis will quite often suggest changes or additions to technology.
- Private Corporate VPN - Do you want the flexibility of having your employees be extremely mobile yet also secure but don't have the funding or the experience to integrate the appropriate technology safely and securely? If so, then a private VPN may be for you. Arrakis has decades of experience with encrypted private networks over untrusted access paths. By implementing a VPN, we can bring your company closer to a more secure environment to protect your valuable company or client data. If you are in a regulatory environment, or think you may be, then having a VPN is a requirement. It should be fully understood that some encryption technology is regulated by ITAR and improper implementation of encryption technology can result in negative sanctions from the Federal Government. Arrakis is fully aware of international and Federal regulations pertaining to encryption and can implement with little to no risk to your company.
- Private Personal VPN - Do you require privacy that is independent of your company or other inquiring entities? Do you travel frequently to countries where your personal privacy doesn't have the same freedoms as that found in the United States? Do you otherwise just want to have more personal privacy? A personal VPN will solve this problem and is suggested for all persons regardless of situation. Quite simply the world is not as private as people would like to believe with personal information being compromised and sold repeatedly on the DarkNet. Arrakis is capable of making secure recommendations to help increase your personal privacy at a very low cost. Additionally, as a part of corporate consultation, Arrakis will likely suggest multiple VPN options (either corporate or private) based on the security posture, risk, or regulatory environment that the client is beholden to.
- Private Cloud - Putting your data in the "Cloud" is quite a force multiplier in today's corporate environment. A cloud allows a company to have less physical infrastructure yet still have the capabilities of cloud based sharing. Doing so reduces technical overhead in human effort and overall cost to the company but still having the benefits of a large corporate environment. Arrakis can build numerous private cloud options for you with increasing levels of security based on your needs. Pricing is based on your level of redundancy, encryption, and number of users requiring private cloud access.
- Network Monitoring - Also a part of regulatory environments, having visibility and awareness of your network and how your network interacts with devices is critical to understanding the network health and possible security issues. For example, a common complaint from users is the network is slow or the internet is timing out. Do you know why? Do you have a complete understanding what your Internet facing router is doing? Are you aware of the utilization for every single port on your switch? Do you have a graphical representation of your network that is easily and quickly understood by all levels of your network or infrastructure team? Is your monitoring solution smart enough to proactively alert or help remediate network issues? Arrakis can help bring your network into sharper focus with technology that works "with you" rather than creating confusion and reducing your time to remediate issues. Imagine a monitoring solution that alerts you of problems before your users complain of issues and can help resolve problems before they escalate. Additionally, imagine a monitoring solution that automatically creates trouble tickets to help document possible issues. Arrakis has decades of experience in network engineering, architecture, support, and monitoring and can bring the next level of visibility of your network to your team. This allows you to better utilize your personnel to fix problems rather than chasing down problems. A solid and reliable network monitoring solution can act like as several virtual employees that never take a break.
- Darkweb Monitoring - In the last decade, the darker side of the Internet has risen to offer a safe haven for hackers to sell personal information that can be used by unethical persons to steal another's identity. Additionally, large corporate companies (that likely thought they would never be hacked) have been repeatedly compromised in a very public manner. Thousands, if not millions, of personal information have been compromised, stored, and then sold on the Darkweb with the largest breach of all time currently being Yahoo (3 Billion records). It is not uncommon for the average person to have no idea if they have been compromised however it is common for an average security person to not have a complete understanding of the darkweb or the dangers found there. Arrakis can act as your trusted advisor to help reduce your risk of possible compromise as well help remediate if you have been a victim of identity theft. If you suspect you have been a victim of identity theft it is suggested that you check by clicking Have I been Pwned and check the complexity of your password by clicking Passfault.

- Virtual Infrastructure - As companies grow there is naturally the side effect of the infrastructure growing as well. Doing so implies increased personnel as well as increase experience that your personnel must now have. By using physical hardware, your company bears the risk equipment breaking or having out of date software installed which only increases regulatory risk as well as a higher potential for a hostile party to gain access into your sensitive network. Arrakis can offer to your company a virtual, scalable, and managed infrastructure that is intelligent and can adapt to your needs. Our solution can integrate into your existing network (a hybrid network) or we can migrate your entire network to a virtual environment. Both options offer benefits for your company as well as reduced cost and risk. Based on your geographical location or regulatory requirements we can also design a solution that will help you remain compliant with regulations or laws that apply to your company. Arrakis also highly suggests subscribing to our custom network monitoring to increase your visibility.
- Website - A website is a common requirement for companies of all sizes or persons wanting to offer an individual service or deliver a personalized message to travellers of the Internet. Arrakis can build any size website, rebuild or improve a current website, and help troubleshoot website issues. Do you want to build a dynamic website that has a higher opportunities with Google searches? We can build a dynamic CRM website for you that integrates and personalizes your customer experience. If you would like a website that has a reduced risk of hacker compromise then we can build something that suits your needs and reduces the chances of a hacker taking over your website. Regardless of the business or presence you would like to portray to the world, your website will be a reflection of your vision. As a part of building your website, Arrakis also highly recommends you select us to host your DNS, email, and SSL certificates. Lastly, Arrakis suggests that you protect your website using Cloudflare as well as Arrakis can support you with Google Analytics support for a better look at the demographics of your website visitors.
- DNS - All Internet presences require a hosted DNS name that supports your needs for email and hosting. DNS is simply to ease the translation of IP addresses to DNS host names (for example - 8.8.8.8 = dns.google.com). Without DNS, we would need to memorize all the IP addresses worldwide to get anywhere on the Internet. If you have a specific DNS name you would like, Arrakis can help you acquire that name and explore the options you have to fully capitalize your investment.
- Email - All companies need the ability to send and recieve email in order to do business. Arrakis can host your email to allow you to not worry about supporting a physical email server or build out your physical email server to support your companies needs. Additionally, as a part of email, Arrakis can act as a trusted advisor to help secure your email and reduce risk of phishing or compromise.
- SSL Certificates - If you are in a secure environment or can be perceived as collecting data on your website that would be viewed as sensitive then you MUST have a valid SSL certificate to prove your identity. A website with an improper, or no, SSL certificate will give hackers the impression that the website is poorly maintained as well as website visitors the impression that the company is insecure. It is not uncommon for a potential customer or client to shy away from a company based on the security status of the website alone. Never forget that a website is generally the first impression your company will make with potential customers...you will want to ensure that you always put your best foot forward.
- Virtual Servers - As a move for a company to expand it's environment (without expanding the infrastructure) a common method is to deploy virtual servers in the cloud. This allows a company to deploy new resources without having to worry about rack space, power, environment controls, or physical support of that resource but still provide the benefits to your users. Arrakis can help you build out your virtual servers in the Arrakis cloud, other vendor cloud environments, private one-off servers, or build out virtual servers in your physical environment. Arrakis also suggests subscribing to our custom network monitoring to increase your visibility.
- Encrypted Military Grade Email - Some companies, based on need, will want to have ultra secure email that is extremely difficult to compromise the email streams in flight. Arrakis does this with military grade encryption and using methodologies that are extensively used by the US Government Intelligence and Law Enforcement agencies. It should be understood that only users on the encrypted email system will be able to use the system and email other encrypted users. You will not be able to email normal email addresses or email any user not on the encrypted system.
- Encrypted Phone System - Similar to email, some companies need the ability to communicate securely with an extremely reduced risk of voice interception. Companies find this useful to discuss extremely sensitive company information such as lawsuits, investigations, stock prices, acquisitions, etc. that could negatively affect the company if publically known. This technology uses military grade encryption and has been successfully deployed by Arrakis in numerous countries and client environments.
- Online Faxing - While faxing is somewhat legacy having an actual fax machine is even more legacy. Regardless though, companies sometimes need the ability to send and receive faxes. Arrakis can offer an online fax solution that allows you to use email, but it's a fax, with verification of delivery. Doing so reduces the technical overhead of a physical fax machine as well as the reduced risk of someone stealing a fax.
