Disaster recovery is a crucial part of every business continuity plan. Without a tested plan for data recovery, it could be weeks before your business is up and running after mission critical data is lost, corrupted, stolen or otherwise compromised.
Data Replication plays a crucial role in a disaster recovery plan. At Blue Layer we offer multiple solutions from installing a dedicated appliance to implementing new software programs on your existing equipment. Investing in replication will help you meet compliance requirements and will save you money in the long run, by diminishing costs associated with downtime by making it simpler to restore not only a few files but all your data.
Ensure uninterrupted access to critical data with our advanced solutions. Anyone with databases, virtual machines, multiple locations or irreplaceable client data should leverage data synchronization.
High availability for the most widely used data stores takes disaster recovery to a new level by decreasing the need for a fail-over recovery environment and allowing for continuous access to mission-critical information.
Blue Layer dedicates a team of recovery experts to monitor and manage this critical business component. Replication enables businesses to resume operations in a fraction of the time compared to traditional backup-and-restore solutions. In most cases, downtime is reduced to hours rather than days or weeks.
Reduce your backup storage requirements with the ability to perform block-level, system-level and deduplication backups.
The most efficient way to handle cybersecurity threats is to prevent them from ever occurring. With Blue Layer’s curated set of software and monitoring services, we keep your systems protected and running smoothly. We monitor your network in real time, allowing us to deal with problems as they arise.
The threat landscape is constantly evolving, and it’s more important than ever to have a security solution that does more than just block malware. Partnering with Cisco and their Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), we provide businesses a world class malware database, paired with context-aware monitoring and reporting, retrospective malware analysis, and Threat Grid sandboxing to provide an anti-malware solution that does more than just prevent users from downloading malware – it provides comprehensive security before, during, and after a malware attack.
Many system breaches can be avoided by educating your team. We provide resources that help you identify dangerous web content, emails, and security risks. We keep you informed of the latest cybersecurity threats and we partner with you to protect your business, and enable your employees to become a human firewall.
As businesses grow, security protocols often lag behind. We help you develop the proper methods to protect your system integrity. Combined with our other services, we make sure your systems are protected from unauthorized access. We provide two-factor authentication, security awareness training, immediate text-based password reset, and monthly vulnerability scanning and remediation as just a start to our wholistic approach to security. In addition, our preferred next-generation firewall features an integrated intrusion detection and prevention (IDS / IPS) engine which is the single most widely deployed intrusion detection and prevention technology in the world, protecting your network against malicious entities and threats.
Malware takes many forms, from adware, which can disrupt your operations, to spyware, which can transmit your confidential information to third parties. Blue Layer helps keep your systems clear of dangers. Our recommended security appliances incorporate intrusion prevention (IPS) with rulesets that are refreshed daily to ensure protection against the latest vulnerabilities — including exploits, viruses, rootkits, and more — and these are pushed via the cloud to customers within an hour — no manual staging or patching needed.
With ransomware, hackers take your systems hostage, requiring you to pay a fee, making it impossible to access your data without their assistance. Don’t pay a ransom, we keep your data backed up for an easy recovery.
Phishing scams involve hackers attempting to steal confidential information, including passwords and credit card number, by posing as a trusted authority. We’ll help your team recognize and report phishing attempts.

Bluelayer brings magic to the enterprise video security world. Impossibly simple to deploy, configure, and manage, our cameras provide reliable security and valuable business insights to organizations of any scale.
Our cameras come with everything needed for a successful deployment in the box. Add cameras to a network before they even arrive, and adjust both optical and software settings remotely.
By utilizing solid state storage on each camera, our cameras have removed the network video recorder (NVR) and its complexity from the equation.
Use WAN bandwidth only when needed. Less than 50kbps of metadata streams to the cloud per camera when footage is not being viewed, eliminating excessive WAN usage.
Since video is stored on the edge, cameras will continue to record even if the network connection fails. Solid state storage and intelligent software allow for customizable video retention.
Make sure every box is ticked with backup cloud archive, optional on every camera. 90 and 180 day options are available to suit a variety of sensitive areas and can be purchased and applied to individual cameras in a fleet.
The dashboard provides secure monitoring and management of all your cameras from anywhere in the world, no extra software required.
With video storage and powerful hardware, there’s no need for an NVR or extra analytics packages.
Cameras automatically purchase publicly signed SSL certificates and all management data is always encrypted by default.
A novel architecture places video storage on the camera, not in the cloud, ensuring mission critical network activities get the bandwidth they need.

Access controls, whether physical or virtual, are a key component of network security. Access controls authenticate and authorize individuals to access the information they are allowed to see and use.
Access control consists of two main components, authorization and authentication to guarantee that users have appropriate access to company data. Physical Access Controls protect the assets on-site, while Virtual protect access to computer systems.
Physical Access Control limits access to buildings, rooms and physical IT assets, such as data centers. Physical Access Control can be achieved through means such as access key cards or electronic door lock systems.
Virtual Access Controls limit connections to data, computer networks and system files. They consist of antivirus software, firewalls with intrusion prevention and detection, anti-spyware and anti-phishing applications.
