Cisometric Research names Biznet Gio as the Safest Bare Metal Provider in 2023

Research conducted by cybersecurity company Cisometric analyzes the security practices of service providers bare metal in Indonesia shows that service bare metal from Biznet Gio, NEO Metal as bare metal safest compared to other similar services.

Biznet Gio is claimed to be superior in all aspects of security as a supplier bare metal local and compete with suppliers bare metal globally in most categories of security aspects. This shows Biznet Gio's ability to provide services bare metal which is strong and safe with full implementation of international security standards.

Different from service cloud computing conventional services that provide virtual server services bare metal is a ready-to-use physical server service where customers have full control over computing resources, for example CPU, RAM and special storage for all physical servers.

In addition to giving customers the freedom to define or configure security layers on the server, service providers bare metal must ensure that the server provided is secure by default. High security reliability on the infrastructure side will certainly increase public confidence in the customer's business system placed on the machine bare metal.

The following are the security aspects that make NEO Metal Biznet Gio selected as a service bare metal the safest among other similar service providers, namely:

Network Segregation Between Customers

Biznet Gio has subnets public IP and Private IP. Likewise, subnets Private IP separated and isolated between clients so they can access the internal network safely. Network separation and isolation is an important layer of protection because internal networks are not public.

Management Platform Security with Network Isolation

Biznet Gio has implemented network isolation on Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) on the host network (server). This method will protect against brute force attacks, unauthorized access, as well as possible exploitation if the IPMI network and servers are not isolated from each other. Cisometric findings show that some service providers have vulnerabilities in IPMI network access at the server level.

Safety standards and certification

Biznet Gio has received PCI DSS Level 1 certification, which is the highest PCI DSS level that covers cloud operations beyond just data center settings. Meanwhile, several service providers bare metal PCI DSS certified is still limited to data center installations.

Potential vulnerability in the default operating system

The cisometric identification results show that there are vulnerabilities in several service providers bare metal, where the default operating system has quite high security vulnerabilities on the operating system kernel side. Meanwhile, Biznet Gio was declared to have no security vulnerabilities thanks to the results of the default operating system authentication scan (Base Image Scanning).

Access Method to Machine bare metal

In terms of accessibility, Biznet Gio is considered to have implemented a very safe access method to the machine bare metal compared to other vendors who only provide standard dashboard access via SSH. Apart from the SSH method, Biznet Gio also offers dashboard access via VPN using OpenVPN with one configuration.

Strict Customer Service Portal Security Policy

In terms of portal access, Biznet Gio also has a portal access time limit of 15 minutes which does not apply to service providers bare metal other. When the session ends, the Biznet Gio portal will automatically request re-login within a certain period of time.

Transparent information about status, maintenance and incidents

Strong communication between Biznet Gio and customers through various channels, including status pages, maintenance notifications, detailed problem reports, and fast customer support.

Dondy Bappedyanto, CEO of Biznet Gio emphasized: "We are proud that Biznet Gio can be a pioneer in providing services bare metal with leading computing technology and a focus on security aspects which are also applied to every infrastructure service we offer." "Our commitment is to support the provision of specialized, safe and high-scale infrastructure in Indonesia, which is able to serve various important sectors such as finance, health services and government without having to wait long."

To support the security aspect, Biznet Gio has a strong enough foundation to support the security aspects mentioned previously. For example, in terms of data centers, Biznet Gio owns and operates its own data centers under the Biznet Data Centers umbrella. This will of course make mitigation easier and faster if a disturbance occurs. In addition, scalability and server provisioning time bare metal on Biznet Gio it's very fast, only 5 minutes.

Cisometric research can become a benchmark for Indonesian industry which often requires fast IT infrastructure that not only provides the best quality, performance and price but also guarantees security. Biznet Gio's NEO Metal service provides the best combination of dedicated server services with the latest generation processors, delivery speed, reliable computing performance, affordable and standard prices, and high security standards.
