The services will have the rate or monthly charge mentioned in item 2 of the obverse; the rates shown correspond to the net value so a Value Added Tax (VAT) should be added. The rates shown in ‘unidades de fomento’ (UF) will be billed by IFX Networks to the customer, in national currency, the day of payment. In case the UF ceases to have effect, the way to add up the charge will be modified. Both parties agree that all the previous statements in the contract, will be considered as UF value, the last one to be valid, correctly adjusted to the variation of Consumer Rate Index determined by the National Institute of Statistics or by who replaces it in its functions.

2.4) Provide the customer with a set of 8 IP addresses for the customer’s exclusive use. If the customer declines service or if the contract is terminated, the IP addresses will remain in IFX Networks possession. At the beginning of the service, IFX Networks is required to provide clean IP addresses, that is to say, addresses that are not registered in blacklists.
2.5) Provide access to Internet, 99,6% of available monthly uptime, except in the case of service suspensions mentioned in 2A.3 and 2A.4 and in the cases of unexpected or random situations mentioned in 4.3, item iv of this document.

2A.3) Temporarily suspend all services because of technical maintenance or because of changes in digital links. IFX Networks is required to communicate the customer in a timely manner and by the fastest way possible and at least 24 hours in advance of the suspension of services because of these.
2A.4) Temporarily suspend the services because of customer’s non-compliance or tardiness in the monthly rate payment. Simply being late with the payment due date allows IFX Networks to proceed with suspension. The suspensions originated by reasons mentioned in this document will provide IFX Networks with the right to bill the customer the cost associated to service restoration.
3) CUSTOMER’S DUTIES
The customer is required to pay the bill or monthly service rate mentioned in item 2 of the obverse within 30 days of receiving the bill. IFX Networks will issue the corresponding bill under the advance month modality, regularly in the bill cycle chosen by the customer. The first bill will be issued once services have been installed. Each bill will be considered to be accepted by the customer if it is not objected in writing, by means of certified letter, within 8 days after having received the bill. In the case of objection, the customer will pay the non-disputed rate within the agreed terms. The objection will be resolved by mutual agreement within 5 days of being communicated. For purposes of installation, connection, and implementation of services, the customer is required to pay for the digital link, bandwidth of internet access and the lease of a router or communication channel whose values and modalities are specified in item 2 of obverse. A delay in payment of more than 1 day of any of the customer’s obligations allows IFX Networks to demand and charge the conventional maximum interest rate for the whole of the delayed time and with the right to suspend service. Notwithstanding the above, after 60 days of the first unpaid bill, IFX Networks will be able to keep the service suspended or to exercise the right to what it is established in section 6 without the customer having the right to any type of compensation. IFX Networks will be able to suspend or terminate service indefinitely without the customer having any right to compensation for that suspension.

Implementation of Security Policies
BACKGROUND
It’s obvious that security should come from a carefully developed process from the conception and design of the system, along its implementation, to the necessary policies and practices for its installations and use. It’s essential that security is present in the development of the norms from the beginning and not during its application because vulnerable points appear from the start.
The communications industry has contributed to increase productivity and connect communities all over the world in almost every aspect of the industry, because it has developed at the speed of a commercial environment that is increasingly globalized. A big portion of this success is based on the development of standards by ITU-T
Even though existing standards facilitate the efficiency of current networks and systems and prepare the space for future ones, the increasing use of open interphases and protocols, the variety of new actors, the impressive diversity of applications and platforms, and the implementations that are not always efficiently tested, have caused an increase in the malicious uses in the networks. The number of security violations (for example, virus spreading, violation of confidentiality of stored data) has increased significantly in worldwide networks, frequently generating costly effects.
That is why it is important to ask ourselves how can an open communications infrastructure be supported without having its information exposed to security problems? The answer is found in the efforts of the groups of normalization that fight the threats to security in all areas of the telecommunications infrastructure. They start with details in the specifications of protocols, applications to network management. IFX Networks follows the different recommendations developed by ITU-T to guarantee reliability and quality of its telecommunications infrastructure, services and corresponding applications.
And thus, conforming to article 6 of the resolution 2258 from 2009, we deliver strategy reports for network security:
1. General definitions
For a better understanding of the approaches that IFX Networks presents in the current document, this one has been interpreted according to the following general considerations that are established in article 1.8, resolution CRT 1740 of 2007 and in article 1, resolution CRC 2258 of 2009:
1.1 Access to internet: Physical access that includes all the functionalities and necessary national and/or international connections to allow a user to establish communication with an internet node. A node is a TIER-1 point or a national access point (NAP).
1.2 Commuted Access: Form of Internet access in which the connection between the user terminal and the access equipment of the operator providing the Internet access is done through dialing over a telephone line of the TPBC network.
1.3 Bandwidth: It’s the transmission capacity with enough bandwidth to allow wired or wireless supply of voice, data and video. For marketing purposes, take into account that a "broadband" connection will be considered as such if the effective access speeds meet the following minimum values:
Direction of the Connection, Minimum effective Speed
ISP towards user 512 kbps or downstream
User towards ISP 256 or upstream
1.4. Narrow band: It’s wired or wireless transmission capacity with an effective data transmission speed lower than the one established in bandwidth.
1.5. Quality of service (QoS): It’s the global effect of the quality of a service function that determines the degree of service satisfaction by the user.
1.6. Data transmission Speed: It’s the speed with which data can be transmitted from one device to another. Data rates are often measured in bits per second.
1.7. Authentication: The process of providing the system a way to ensure identification of something.
1.8. Authorization: Process of rights assignment or permit concession to perform determined activities and its relation to determined processes, entities, legal or natural persons.

IFX performs permanent monitoring of each of the services that are offered in order to identify any event or malware in time and appropriately. For this purpose it uses computing hardware located at strategic points in the network monitor the following:
Status of network computing hardware
Logs of activities performed in computing hardware
Monitoring of the traffic behavior in different sectors of the network such as interconnection points, peering and node concatenation.
Detailed reports via Firewall control where you can find specifications and details of the traffic carried out by critical points in the network, signatures of attack, permanent vulnerability analysis in devices and mission-critical servers. Back up of Network devices , backups and absolute redundancy of data bases, protected by structures of minimal public display.
Committees of security evaluation where vulnerabilities and network critical points are detailed and exposed and tools to cover detected failures are established.
1.5. Security models according to the characteristics and needs of the network that contribute to improving security of the access networks according to security frameworks defined by ITU.
IFX NETWORKS COLOMBIA as a provider of telecommunications services and complying with the requirements of surveillance and quality control authorities, has implemented models to protect networks and end users in the terms established by the current law:
1.5.1. Authentication
According to standards ITU X.805 y X.811, authentication consists of proving the veracity of the identity claimed by an entity. In this context, not only people are considered entities, but also mechanisms, services, and applications. With authentication, the goal is to guarantee that an entity is not trying to steal an identity or provide an unauthorized answer to a previous communication.
Messaging and collaboration services offered by IFX to its customers have authentication systems based on LDPA architecture which, on top of being robust and reliable, allow the use of encrypted passwords. That way credentials are known only by the end user, guaranteeing an additional level of information confidentiality.
Additionally IFX offers digital signature services for messaging and collaboration products so customers can guarantee authenticity of the origin of an e-mail to their receptors avoiding identity theft or an unauthorized answer to a previous communication.
For both our shared and dedicated web hosting services, IFX applies the security model at domain level. Understanding the domain as the security environment that encloses the services of each customer. Under this model and after it is authenticated, the subscriber has total access to information including the data bases they own. With this control you will be able to create users with specific privileges under the security domain which is under the responsibility of the customer who owns the domain.
In the service of dedicated hosting, IFX provides customers total control of the hardware system, base operational system and software; that way the management of authentication services is under the customer’s total responsibility.
1.5.2. Access control
The security assessment of access control protects against the use of network resources without authorization. Access control guarantees that only authorized people and devices can access the network elements, stored information, information flow, services and applications. Access control is defined in clauses 6.3/X.810 and ITU-T X.812. Although it deals with authentication, it’s outside its reach.
a) Physical security, IFX Networks has several years of experience in designing, building, and operating the data centers at medium and big sized scale in all our points of direct presence in the United States and Latin America. This experience has been applied to our platform and infrastructure.
IFX Networks data centers are located in facilities with protected physical parameters including surveillance systems with 7x24x365 coverage. For our data centers located in type Tier IV facilities, there are strict security measures with military grade control of the perimeter. Physical access is strictly controlled, both around the perimeter as well as at the access points to the building by security experts supported by video systems, intruder detection systems and other electronic support.
Authorized staff members must comply with at least 2 authentication factors to physically access a data center. All guests and contractors must present ID and sign in, after that they are accompanied by an authorized staff member at all times.
IFX Network only provides access to data centers to employees who have a legitimate business need. Access is immediately revoked when said need ends even if they continue to be IFX network employees. All employees’ physical and electronic access to IFX Network data centers is registered and audited on a regular basis.
b) Logical access security: Logical access Security to the different IFX Network hosting platforms is supplied at multiple levels: operational systems, virtual instances, applications and firewall. Each of these items is built under the capabilities of the others. The goal is to ensure that the data contained inside the different IFX Network hosting platforms cannot be intercepted by unauthorized systems or users, and that the diverse instances of IFX Networks services provide the highest possible security without compromising the flexibility in configuration and functionality that customers’ demand.
• Security at operational system level: IFX Network system administrators with business needs related to hosting services must supply credentials to have access with basic privileges to the different systems. Said access process happens in a centralized security environment through LDAP authentication and using protocols SSH and Kerberos depending on the operational system they access.
This security access protection at operational system level allows the construction of systems that are designed and configured to protect the management plan of the hosting platforms. Once connected to the initial protection, authorized managers can use the commands to increase the privileges with a second level of authentication. Said accesses are registered and audited on a regular basis. When the respective business need disappears, privileges and access to security protection at operational system levels are revoked.
• Virtual instances: they are also known as virtual servers. They are completely controlled by the customer, who has total administrative access over the instance and over the additional accounts, services and applications that run over it. IFX Network system managers do not have access to the customers’ virtual instances and cannot get authenticated to access to them at operational system levels. Because of that, customers must use a mechanism to increase privilege based on authentication to access the operational system of the virtual instance.
Firewall: IFX Networks provides a Firewall solution for all the different platforms of shared hosting like web hosting and systems of messaging and collaboration. This firewall is configured in negative mode for incoming traffic by defect and it is the customer who has to explicitly specify the ports and protocols for which traffic should be allowed as long as it is directly related to the hired service. The customer also has to specify the IP, the set of IP’s or the networks of origin allowed for its service.
For the services of dedicated hosting including virtual instances, the Firewall service is optional for the customer and in case it is not hired, any incidence related to unauthorized meddling of the system from the internet, is the customer’s responsibility.
The administrative access via SSH or RDP for IFX Networks administrative systems is only permitted through VPN connections based on PPTP or L2TP accomplishing a maximum level of information encapsulation and access credentials.
1.5.3. Nonrepudiation system
The ITU X.805, X.813 and X.843 standards refer to the nonrepudiation service as the capacity to prevent the user from future denial of an action. Among them, creation, origin, reception and content delivery are included. For example, message delivery or reception, establishment or reception of calls and others. Thanks to the nonrepudiation requirements, it is possible to collect unfalsifiable proof of delivery and/or reception of data with the purpose of avoiding the sender deny having sent a message or the receiver deny having received it. IFX Networks implements this service in its different platforms of hosting.
In its services of messaging and collaboration, IFX Networks keeps a record of sent and received e-mails at service SMTP level. The period of retention of said records is established by IFX Networks and informed to the customer as part of the process of service offer previous to the contract with the customer. As part of the product portfolio of aggregated value to messaging and collaboration, IFX Networks offers optional services of e-mail back-up and auditing that comply with international regulations even at the required levels by the United States’ financial entities.
For the shared web hosting services, IFX Networks keeps a record of access and activities of content manipulation. The retention period of said records is established by IFX Networks and informed to the customer as part of the service offer process previous to the contract.
IFX Networks records all the tasks performed by the company system administrators on the different hosting platforms and performs a regular audit on them. This record is done by a centralized system of log storage.
Due to the fact that the customer has the total control of the service administration of dedicated hosting including the virtualized services, the recording of logs and tasks related to the nonrepudiation services is the customers’ responsibility.
1.5.4. Principle of data confidentiality
IFX Hosted Services offers a scalable platform of high availability that allows users the management of a wide variety of products. Assuring the privacy and confidentiality of the user’s system and data is of vital importance for IFX.
Standard ITU-T X.805 establishes an explicit difference between data privacy and confidentiality. The first one is about protection of association of users’ identity and their activities. The second one refers to the protections against unauthorized access to the data content.
1.5.5. Privacy
IFX Networks internal policies mention data privacy according to what it is established in standard ITU X.805. It guarantees that the information supplied by users to any of our systems at the moment of recording is not shared with third parties without the users’ previous authorization.
a) Data confidentiality. Encrypted methods, lists of access control, and file access permits are used to guarantee data confidentiality.
The web access to the e-mail services offered to our customers is performed through secure sites that use SSL certificates granted by recognized entities worldwide. Additionally our customers are offered messaging and collaboration systems which access through their customers of traditional e-mails through the RPC protocol over HTTPS guaranteeing the confidentiality of information.
As part of our products of aggregated value, the customer has the option of acquiring encrypted e-mail services which guarantee that only previously authorized recipients have access to the information sent by our users. These services based on asymmetric encryption (public password) which are mentioned in standard ITU X.809 include a pair of passwords, one public and one private. Both passwords are different and although there is a mathematical relation between the two, it is not possible to calculate the private password from the public one.
For our services of shared and dedicated web hosting, IFX Networks applies a security policy based on lists of access control that guarantee access to the information. Its manipulation can only be performed by a valid user and with previously authorized privileges by the customer. All the control panels offered to the customers for the administration of their hosting services are protected with SSL certificates.
1.5.6. Principle of data integrity
According to recommendations ITU X.800 and X.815, the principle of data integrity refers to data that has not been altered by unauthorized processes. Furthermore, data integrity guarantees that information is protected against the following unauthorized operations: modification, suppression, creation, and copy of data. An indicator of unauthorized activities is provided.
In all services of shared hosting, IFX Networks uses a common frame of security that protects the integrity of the customer’s information using ACL’s and profiles with different access levels which ensure information can only be manipulated by the owner user and according to the privileges previously established in the service contract.
IFX Networks performs periodic upgrades on all its shared hosting systems with the purpose of avoiding intentional information manipulation that can be done by an external agent taking advantage of weaknesses at operational system levels, data base engines or e-mail software.
IFX Networks also provides anti-virus software in systems like e-mails and web hosting that can be the target of computer viruses, affecting the integrity of the customer’s information.
Customers of dedicated hosting including virtualized services are responsible for guaranteeing the integrity of the information that is stored in those systems as IFX Networks has no control over the systems at logical level.
1.5.7. Principle of availability
ITU X.805
The security of availability stated in Recommendation ITU X.805 guarantees that a network interruption shall not prevent authorized access to its elements, information stored, information flows, services and applications. This category includes recovery solutions in case of disaster and network restoration.
IFX Networks guarantees the availability levels previously agreed upon with the customer during the hiring process through a designed and implemented infrastructure for each of the services offered at hosting level.
All IFX Networks regional data centers have redundant systems in the electrical feeding systems. Our type Tier IV data centers have redundant schemes n+4 for the electrical feeding systems, temperature and humidity control that allow high availability to the shared hosting systems stored in those facilities.
Depending on the level of criticality each system and according to what was previously agreed in the service levels, the different hosting platforms have server farms that allow high availability in case of failure at operational system levels, hardware or even service levels.
IFX Networks implemented storage computing hardware for the critical mission systems in its different shared hosting platforms have redundant processing options in case of failure of one of the controllers. Likewise all our storage systems are implemented using RAID technologies to minimize the impact in availability caused by physical failure at disc level.
In case of an issue that affects the service availability and that exceeds systems scope and methods of high availability previously described, IFX Networks has a backup system that guarantees the possibility of information recovery in case of a computer contingency for all the shared hosting services.
These backup systems along with the methods and procedures established by the IFX Networks systems administrators team allow the provision of services in case of a computer failure and according to the established times in the availability levels offered to our customers.
1.6. Measures in relation to the networks and provided services to secure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information principles and to secure authentication, authorization, and non-repudiation security services of information required to guarantee communication protection, the information that is sent through them and the personal data of the subscribers and/or users in relation to the networks and/or provided services by those operators.
The set of activities, actions, and methods are described in the previous steps. It is the set of parameters of authentication, protection, and encryption services directed to the development and securing each of the network’s components. Similarly, the services of diagnostic control and monitoring permanently observe changes in the network structure.
IFX Networks also has exclusively dedicated staff to network management. That staff manages and observes network behavior and each of the provided services on a regular basis allowing a fast observation of threats or problems that interrupt the stability of the services and the network backbone.
1.7. Measures regarding interception, violation or denial of communications provided by networks.
Access controls to the backbone and CPE (computing hardware located in the subscribers’ facilities), additionally, the systems of detection and monitoring of events, especially the network backbone, access network and Customer-Side allow observation over the executed and/or denied actions to users or third parties related to side-to-side communication.
1.8 Formal processes of the treatment of security incidences of the information belonging to the provider’s security management. When the violation comes from a third party and the provider of communications networks and/or services have knowledge of said violations. The provider also has to report the necessary measures for the behavior to stop and inform the competent authority about said violation.
The forensic analysis is a regular channel applied in an imminent disastrous situation. IFX Network has computing hardware available to recover post-disaster information. It can obtain detailed information of origin, type of executed action, indirect effects, potential effects of long, medium and short terms, mechanisms of fast recovery and information tracking, and structures of storage and database in HD modality. For that purpose, it has traffic sensors and mechanisms of traffic observation (origin – destination – service) configured over access interphases, UP-LINKS, NAPs and other interaction and integration points of public multi-operator and multi-access networks.
1.9 Mechanisms that guarantee confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data of the subscriber’s and or users. These mechanisms will be used to prevent and control telecommunications fraud and the compliance with the corresponding regulatory obligations.
Taking into account the tendencies in telecommunication and the globalization of information, it is necessary that government entities constantly regulate through legal tools the users’ information exchange between telecommunications service providers with the purpose of guaranteeing the confidentiality of information and avoiding bad use and mismanagement of said information.

The services will have the rate or monthly charge mentioned in item 2 of the obverse; the rates shown correspond to the net value so a Value Added Tax (VAT) should be added. The rates shown in ‘unidades de fomento’ (UF) will be billed by IFX Networks to the customer, in national currency, the day of payment. In case the UF ceases to have effect, the way to add up the charge will be modified. Both parties agree that all the previous statements in the contract, will be considered as UF value, the last one to be valid, correctly adjusted to the variation of Consumer Rate Index determined by the National Institute of Statistics or by who replaces it in its functions.

Implementation of Security Policies
BACKGROUND
It’s obvious that security should come from a carefully developed process from the conception and design of the system, along its implementation, to the necessary policies and practices for its installations and use. It’s essential that security is present in the development of the norms from the beginning and not during its application because vulnerable points appear from the start.
The communications industry has contributed to increase productivity and connect communities all over the world in almost every aspect of the industry, because it has developed at the speed of a commercial environment that is increasingly globalized. A big portion of this success is based on the development of standards by ITU-T
Even though existing standards facilitate the efficiency of current networks and systems and prepare the space for future ones, the increasing use of open interphases and protocols, the variety of new actors, the impressive diversity of applications and platforms, and the implementations that are not always efficiently tested, have caused an increase in the malicious uses in the networks. The number of security violations (for example, virus spreading, violation of confidentiality of stored data) has increased significantly in worldwide networks, frequently generating costly effects.
That is why it is important to ask ourselves how can an open communications infrastructure be supported without having its information exposed to security problems? The answer is found in the efforts of the groups of normalization that fight the threats to security in all areas of the telecommunications infrastructure. They start with details in the specifications of protocols, applications to network management. IFX Networks follows the different recommendations developed by ITU-T to guarantee reliability and quality of its telecommunications infrastructure, services and corresponding applications.
And thus, conforming to article 6 of the resolution 2258 from 2009, we deliver strategy reports for network security:
1. General definitions
For a better understanding of the approaches that IFX Networks presents in the current document, this one has been interpreted according to the following general considerations that are established in article 1.8, resolution CRT 1740 of 2007 and in article 1, resolution CRC 2258 of 2009:
1.1 Access to internet: Physical access that includes all the functionalities and necessary national and/or international connections to allow a user to establish communication with an internet node. A node is a TIER-1 point or a national access point (NAP).
1.2 Commuted Access: Form of Internet access in which the connection between the user terminal and the access equipment of the operator providing the Internet access is done through dialing over a telephone line of the TPBC network.
1.3 Bandwidth: It’s the transmission capacity with enough bandwidth to allow wired or wireless supply of voice, data and video. For marketing purposes, take into account that a “broadband” connection will be considered as such if the effective access speeds meet the following minimum values:
Direction of the Connection, Minimum effective Speed
ISP towards user 512 kbps or downstream
User towards ISP 256 or upstream
1.4. Narrow band: It’s wired or wireless transmission capacity with an effective data transmission speed lower than the one established in bandwidth.
1.5. Quality of service (QoS): It’s the global effect of the quality of a service function that determines the degree of service satisfaction by the user.
1.6. Data transmission Speed: It’s the speed with which data can be transmitted from one device to another. Data rates are often measured in bits per second.
1.7. Authentication: The process of providing the system a way to ensure identification of something.
1.8. Authorization: Process of rights assignment or permit concession to perform determined activities and its relation to determined processes, entities, legal or natural persons.
1.9. Cyberspace: It is the physical as well as virtual environment made from computers, computer systems, computer programs (software), telecommunication networks, data and information used in user’s interactions with each other.
1.10. Cyber security: It is the tool kit, policies, security concepts, guidelines, methods of risk management, actions, best practices, insurance and technology that can be used to protect the computer systems from theft or damage to their hardware, software or electronic data, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
1.11. Data confidentiality: To avoid data from being spread without authorization.
1.12. Availability: Authorized entity access to the information and computer systems whenever this entity needs it.
1.13. Entity: Natural or legal person, organization, element that belongs to computing hardware or a computer program.
1.14. Critical infrastructure: It’s the amount of computers, computer systems, telecommunication networks, data and information whose destruction or interference can weaken or impact the security of the economy, public health or both of a nation.
1.15. Data integrity: Property or characteristic of maintaining the accuracy and completeness of the information.
1.16. Interception: It’s the acquisition, visualization, capture or copy of content, data or part of content of communications transmitted wiredly, wirelessly, optically, magnetically or other ways during transmission utilizing electronic, mechanic, optical or electromagnetic means.
1.17.Interference: It’s the action of blocking, hiding, avoiding or interrupting the confidentiality, integrity of computer programs, computer systems, data or information through the transmission, damage, erasing, destruction, alteration or suppression of data, computer programs or data transfer.
1.18. Interruption: It’s the event caused by a computer program, telecommunications network or computer system that interferes or destroys a computer program, a telecommunications network, data or information which it contains
1.19. Nonrepudiation: Service whose objective is to ensure that a transferred message has been sent and received by the parties claiming to have sent and received the message. Nonrepudiation is a way to guarantee that the sender of a message cannot later deny having sent the message and that the recipient cannot deny having received the message.
1.20. Pharming: It’s the action of modifying the Domain Name System (DNS) server, switching the correct IP address for another one. The user then is redirected to a different IP while he believes he’s at the correct website.
1.21. Phishing: It is the act of sending an email to a user, falsely claiming to be an established legitimate business in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity or password theft.
1.22. Malicious software (Malware): It’s a computer program specifically designed to damage or disrupt the confidentiality and integrity of a computer system, telecommunications network, information, and data transfer. It includes any type of malicious code, from spyware to key loggers and computer viruses, worms or Trojan horses that can be distributed through e-mail addresses, websites, shareware or freeware.
1.23. Vulnerability: An unintended flaw in software code or a system that could potentially be exploited
1.4. Guarantee in network security and the integrity of service to avoid interception, interruption and interference of the service.
IFX performs permanent monitoring of each of the services that are offered in order to identify any event or malware in time and appropriately. For this purpose it uses computing hardware located at strategic points in the network monitor the following:
Status of network computing hardware
Logs of activities performed in computing hardware
Monitoring of the traffic behavior in different sectors of the network such as interconnection points, peering and node concatenation.
Detailed reports via Firewall control where you can find specifications and details of the traffic carried out by critical points in the network, signatures of attack, permanent vulnerability analysis in devices and mission-critical servers. Back up of Network devices , backups and absolute redundancy of data bases, protected by structures of minimal public display.
Committees of security evaluation where vulnerabilities and network critical points are detailed and exposed and tools to cover detected failures are established.
1.5. Security models according to the characteristics and needs of the network that contribute to improving security of the access networks according to security frameworks defined by ITU.
IFX NETWORKS COLOMBIA as a provider of telecommunications services and complying with the requirements of surveillance and quality control authorities, has implemented models to protect networks and end users in the terms established by the current law:
1.5.1. Authentication
According to standards ITU X.805 y X.811, authentication consists of proving the veracity of the identity claimed by an entity. In this context, not only people are considered entities, but also mechanisms, services, and applications. With authentication, the goal is to guarantee that an entity is not trying to steal an identity or provide an unauthorized answer to a previous communication.
Messaging and collaboration services offered by IFX to its customers have authentication systems based on LDPA architecture which, on top of being robust and reliable, allow the use of encrypted passwords. That way credentials are known only by the end user, guaranteeing an additional level of information confidentiality.
Additionally IFX offers digital signature services for messaging and collaboration products so customers can guarantee authenticity of the origin of an e-mail to their receptors avoiding identity theft or an unauthorized answer to a previous communication.
For both our shared and dedicated web hosting services, IFX applies the security model at domain level. Understanding the domain as the security environment that encloses the services of each customer. Under this model and after it is authenticated, the subscriber has total access to information including the data bases they own. With this control you will be able to create users with specific privileges under the security domain which is under the responsibility of the customer who owns the domain.
In the service of dedicated hosting, IFX provides customers total control of the hardware system, base operational system and software; that way the management of authentication services is under the customer’s total responsibility.
1.5.2. Access control
The security assessment of access control protects against the use of network resources without authorization. Access control guarantees that only authorized people and devices can access the network elements, stored information, information flow, services and applications. Access control is defined in clauses 6.3/X.810 and ITU-T X.812. Although it deals with authentication, it’s outside its reach.
a) Physical security, IFX Networks has several years of experience in designing, building, and operating the data centers at medium and big sized scale in all our points of direct presence in the United States and Latin America. This experience has been applied to our platform and infrastructure.
IFX Networks data centers are located in facilities with protected physical parameters including surveillance systems with 7x24x365 coverage. For our data centers located in type Tier IV facilities, there are strict security measures with military grade control of the perimeter. Physical access is strictly controlled, both around the perimeter as well as at the access points to the building by security experts supported by video systems, intruder detection systems and other electronic support.
Authorized staff members must comply with at least 2 authentication factors to physically access a data center. All guests and contractors must present ID and sign in, after that they are accompanied by an authorized staff member at all times.
IFX Network only provides access to data centers to employees who have a legitimate business need. Access is immediately revoked when said need ends even if they continue to be IFX network employees. All employees’ physical and electronic access to IFX Network data centers is registered and audited on a regular basis.
b) Logical access security: Logical access Security to the different IFX Network hosting platforms is supplied at multiple levels: operational systems, virtual instances, applications and firewall. Each of these items is built under the capabilities of the others. The goal is to ensure that the data contained inside the different IFX Network hosting platforms cannot be intercepted by unauthorized systems or users, and that the diverse instances of IFX Networks services provide the highest possible security without compromising the flexibility in configuration and functionality that customers’ demand.
• Security at operational system level: IFX Network system administrators with business needs related to hosting services must supply credentials to have access with basic privileges to the different systems. Said access process happens in a centralized security environment through LDAP authentication and using protocols SSH and Kerberos depending on the operational system they access.
This security access protection at operational system level allows the construction of systems that are designed and configured to protect the management plan of the hosting platforms. Once connected to the initial protection, authorized managers can use the commands to increase the privileges with a second level of authentication. Said accesses are registered and audited on a regular basis. When the respective business need disappears, privileges and access to security protection at operational system levels are revoked.
• Virtual instances: they are also known as virtual servers. They are completely controlled by the customer, who has total administrative access over the instance and over the additional accounts, services and applications that run over it. IFX Network system managers do not have access to the customers’ virtual instances and cannot get authenticated to access to them at operational system levels. Because of that, customers must use a mechanism to increase privilege based on authentication to access the operational system of the virtual instance.
Firewall: IFX Networks provides a Firewall solution for all the different platforms of shared hosting like web hosting and systems of messaging and collaboration. This firewall is configured in negative mode for incoming traffic by defect and it is the customer who has to explicitly specify the ports and protocols for which traffic should be allowed as long as it is directly related to the hired service. The customer also has to specify the IP, the set of IP’s or the networks of origin allowed for its service.
For the services of dedicated hosting including virtual instances, the Firewall service is optional for the customer and in case it is not hired, any incidence related to unauthorized meddling of the system from the internet, is the customer’s responsibility.
The administrative access via SSH or RDP for IFX Networks administrative systems is only permitted through VPN connections based on PPTP or L2TP accomplishing a maximum level of information encapsulation and access credentials.
1.5.3. Nonrepudiation system
The ITU X.805, X.813 and X.843 standards refer to the nonrepudiation service as the capacity to prevent the user from future denial of an action. Among them, creation, origin, reception and content delivery are included. For example, message delivery or reception, establishment or reception of calls and others. Thanks to the nonrepudiation requirements, it is possible to collect unfalsifiable proof of delivery and/or reception of data with the purpose of avoiding the sender deny having sent a message or the receiver deny having received it. IFX Networks implements this service in its different platforms of hosting.
In its services of messaging and collaboration, IFX Networks keeps a record of sent and received e-mails at service SMTP level. The period of retention of said records is established by IFX Networks and informed to the customer as part of the process of service offer previous to the contract with the customer. As part of the product portfolio of aggregated value to messaging and collaboration, IFX Networks offers optional services of e-mail back-up and auditing that comply with international regulations even at the required levels by the United States’ financial entities.
For the shared web hosting services, IFX Networks keeps a record of access and activities of content manipulation. The retention period of said records is established by IFX Networks and informed to the customer as part of the service offer process previous to the contract.
IFX Networks records all the tasks performed by the company system administrators on the different hosting platforms and performs a regular audit on them. This record is done by a centralized system of log storage.
Due to the fact that the customer has the total control of the service administration of dedicated hosting including the virtualized services, the recording of logs and tasks related to the nonrepudiation services is the customers’ responsibility.
1.5.4. Principle of data confidentiality
IFX Hosted Services offers a scalable platform of high availability that allows users the management of a wide variety of products. Assuring the privacy and confidentiality of the user’s system and data is of vital importance for IFX.
Standard ITU-T X.805 establishes an explicit difference between data privacy and confidentiality. The first one is about protection of association of users’ identity and their activities. The second one refers to the protections against unauthorized access to the data content.
1.5.5. Privacy
IFX Networks internal policies mention data privacy according to what it is established in standard ITU X.805. It guarantees that the information supplied by users to any of our systems at the moment of recording is not shared with third parties without the users’ previous authorization.
a) Data confidentiality. Encrypted methods, lists of access control, and file access permits are used to guarantee data confidentiality.
The web access to the e-mail services offered to our customers is performed through secure sites that use SSL certificates granted by recognized entities worldwide. Additionally our customers are offered messaging and collaboration systems which access through their customers of traditional e-mails through the RPC protocol over HTTPS guaranteeing the confidentiality of information.
As part of our products of aggregated value, the customer has the option of acquiring encrypted e-mail services which guarantee that only previously authorized recipients have access to the information sent by our users. These services based on asymmetric encryption (public password) which are mentioned in standard ITU X.809 include a pair of passwords, one public and one private. Both passwords are different and although there is a mathematical relation between the two, it is not possible to calculate the private password from the public one.
For our services of shared and dedicated web hosting, IFX Networks applies a security policy based on lists of access control that guarantee access to the information. Its manipulation can only be performed by a valid user and with previously authorized privileges by the customer. All the control panels offered to the customers for the administration of their hosting services are protected with SSL certificates.
1.5.6. Principle of data integrity
According to recommendations ITU X.800 and X.815, the principle of data integrity refers to data that has not been altered by unauthorized processes. Furthermore, data integrity guarantees that information is protected against the following unauthorized operations: modification, suppression, creation, and copy of data. An indicator of unauthorized activities is provided.
In all services of shared hosting, IFX Networks uses a common frame of security that protects the integrity of the customer’s information using ACL’s and profiles with different access levels which ensure information can only be manipulated by the owner user and according to the privileges previously established in the service contract.
IFX Networks performs periodic upgrades on all its shared hosting systems with the purpose of avoiding intentional information manipulation that can be done by an external agent taking advantage of weaknesses at operational system levels, data base engines or e-mail software.
IFX Networks also provides anti-virus software in systems like e-mails and web hosting that can be the target of computer viruses, affecting the integrity of the customer’s information.
Customers of dedicated hosting including virtualized services are responsible for guaranteeing the integrity of the information that is stored in those systems as IFX Networks has no control over the systems at logical level.
1.5.7. Principle of availability
ITU X.805
The security of availability stated in Recommendation ITU X.805 guarantees that a network interruption shall not prevent authorized access to its elements, information stored, information flows, services and applications. This category includes recovery solutions in case of disaster and network restoration.
IFX Networks guarantees the availability levels previously agreed upon with the customer during the hiring process through a designed and implemented infrastructure for each of the services offered at hosting level.
All IFX Networks regional data centers have redundant systems in the electrical feeding systems. Our type Tier IV data centers have redundant schemes n+4 for the electrical feeding systems, temperature and humidity control that allow high availability to the shared hosting systems stored in those facilities.
Depending on the level of criticality each system and according to what was previously agreed in the service levels, the different hosting platforms have server farms that allow high availability in case of failure at operational system levels, hardware or even service levels.
IFX Networks implemented storage computing hardware for the critical mission systems in its different shared hosting platforms have redundant processing options in case of failure of one of the controllers. Likewise all our storage systems are implemented using RAID technologies to minimize the impact in availability caused by physical failure at disc level.
In case of an issue that affects the service availability and that exceeds systems scope and methods of high availability previously described, IFX Networks has a backup system that guarantees the possibility of information recovery in case of a computer contingency for all the shared hosting services.
These backup systems along with the methods and procedures established by the IFX Networks systems administrators team allow the provision of services in case of a computer failure and according to the established times in the availability levels offered to our customers.
1.6. Measures in relation to the networks and provided services to secure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information principles and to secure authentication, authorization, and non-repudiation security services of information required to guarantee communication protection, the information that is sent through them and the personal data of the subscribers and/or users in relation to the networks and/or provided services by those operators.
The set of activities, actions, and methods are described in the previous steps. It is the set of parameters of authentication, protection, and encryption services directed to the development and securing each of the network’s components. Similarly, the services of diagnostic control and monitoring permanently observe changes in the network structure.
IFX Networks also has exclusively dedicated staff to network management. That staff manages and observes network behavior and each of the provided services on a regular basis allowing a fast observation of threats or problems that interrupt the stability of the services and the network backbone.
1.7. Measures regarding interception, violation or denial of communications provided by networks.
Access controls to the backbone and CPE (computing hardware located in the subscribers’ facilities), additionally, the systems of detection and monitoring of events, especially the network backbone, access network and Customer-Side allow observation over the executed and/or denied actions to users or third parties related to side-to-side communication.
1.8 Formal processes of the treatment of security incidences of the information belonging to the provider’s security management. When the violation comes from a third party and the provider of communications networks and/or services have knowledge of said violations. The provider also has to report the necessary measures for the behavior to stop and inform the competent authority about said violation.
The forensic analysis is a regular channel applied in an imminent disastrous situation. IFX Network has computing hardware available to recover post-disaster information. It can obtain detailed information of origin, type of executed action, indirect effects, potential effects of long, medium and short terms, mechanisms of fast recovery and information tracking, and structures of storage and database in HD modality. For that purpose, it has traffic sensors and mechanisms of traffic observation (origin – destination – service) configured over access interphases, UP-LINKS, NAPs and other interaction and integration points of public multi-operator and multi-access networks.
1.9 Mechanisms that guarantee confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data of the subscriber’s and or users. These mechanisms will be used to prevent and control telecommunications fraud and the compliance with the corresponding regulatory obligations.
Taking into account the tendencies in telecommunication and the globalization of information, it is necessary that government entities constantly regulate through legal tools the users’ information exchange between telecommunications service providers with the purpose of guaranteeing the confidentiality of information and avoiding bad use and mismanagement of said information.
