"Utilization of Competency Center will bring benefits to the ability of companies and institutions to cover the growing and rapidly changing security threats, not only in the area of network security but also in mobile and data
protection areas. It is possible to simulate real traffic environment in Competency Center and to test functionality of the proposed solution prior to its own implementation in practice. Partners and customers can use remote access to simulation of center and high-quality video transmission."

"Competency Center for new ICT security solutions is the first project in the Czech Republic, which focuses on the complexity of the ICT security problems, for example to protect networks and data, risk and threat assessments, security of remote access, user identity, email and web protection, protection of mobile communication, etc..." 

Lenka Walletzká, Marketing Manager, COMGUARD Inc.

"The project goal is to create high-level capacity to design highly sophisticated ICT solutions and to create new ICT solutions in the field of IT security. Proposals provide IT security optimized for a particular customer's environment and taking into account their individual requirements and specifics. This activity includes mainly analysis of the client's environment, design of optimal solution (combination of software and hardware elements of both passive and active protection with the use of foreign as well as own technologies and their modifications). Center collaborates with other research entities (especially with the Czech research teams and companies) with the involvement of their technologies into comprehensive solutions in IT security and testing their compatibility with the world technology manufacturers.

Simulation of the real traffic / Experts / Solution of requirements / Remote Access / Project Outputs / Competency Center provides experts in the ICT Security who are ready to help IT professionals with tools performance to cover security
risks by leading security solutions in various security areas. The center organizes lectures to present the architecture, features, methods of confi gurations and use of the technologies with possibility of demonstrations and real traffic simulations. The customers can ask for a discussion based on specific requirements, including practical examples of implementation or requirements solution.

It is possible to simulate real traffic environment in Competency Center and to test functionality of the proposed solution prior to its own implementation in practice.

Creation of new ICT solutions with using of McAfee products to cover specific needs of certain market segments, state institutions or specific projects.

 
Remote access to solution of center is allowed.

Implementation of specific projects and their outputs

Design of complex technological solutions for securing of ICT security optimized for a particular customer‘s environment and taking into account the individual needs and characteristics.
Localization of selected technologies of world producers to make them applicable to the Czech and Slovak environment (Language localization, synchronization with the applicable legislation or technical standards).
Cooperation with other research subjects (especially with Czech research teams and companies) and their technologies to complete solution in ICT security area, testing their compatibility with technologies of world producers and their possible modifications leading to the possibility of commercial exploitation of these technologies, thereby expanding the number of functionalities of the current ICT solutions.

The joint stock company COMGUARD builds through its subsidiaries Competency Center together with the  Security Training Center with a total capacity of up to 240 training places, incl. equipped computer and language labs, conference hall for 80 people and video conferences with the completion date of end of 2012. The project is supported by grants approved the Operational Programme Enterprise and Innovation managed by the Ministry of Trade and Industry with support from the European Regional Development Fund.

Currently, The Center operates in COMGUARD headquarters in Brno.

We can help you to optimize ICT security.
