What Problem This Solves

Your investment wasn't a random purchase — it was a strategic decision to close specific security gaps. Here's the before and after.

Before — The Gaps You Had

[e.g., Legacy firewall with no application-layer visibility — all traffic was port-based]
[e.g., No SSL decryption — 85% of traffic was encrypted and uninspected]
[e.g., Single point of failure — no HA, single firewall for entire organisation]
[e.g., No integration with SIEM — security events were going unmonitored]
[e.g., Compliance gap — RBI/PCI-DSS mandates not met with existing infrastructure]

After — What You Now Have

[e.g., Application-aware NGFW with App-ID — complete visibility into 3,000+ applications]
[e.g., SSL/TLS decryption enabled — all encrypted traffic inspected for threats]
[e.g., Active-Passive HA pair — zero single point of failure, automatic failover]
[e.g., Full SIEM integration — all logs forwarded to your SIEM for real-time correlation]
[e.g., Compliance controls mapped — IPS, URL filtering, logging meet RBI & PCI requirements]

💡 Why This Matters to Your Business

Every gap above was a risk — to your data, your compliance posture, and your business continuity. This investment doesn't just add a product to your rack — it closes measurable security and compliance gaps that were previously exposing your organisation.

How You Can Further Improve

Your current investment is a strong foundation. Here's how to build on it — each step strengthens your security posture and maximises ROI.

🔗
Integrate with Your SIEM
If you don't already have one, a SIEM turns your product logs into actionable threat intelligence. Correlation across all sources is where real detection happens.
Force Multiplier
🤖
Add SOAR Automation
Automate response playbooks — when an alert fires, the SOAR can block IPs, isolate endpoints, create tickets, and notify teams automatically. Reduces response time from hours to seconds.
Advanced
🔍
Regular Vulnerability Assessments
Quarterly vulnerability scans across your infrastructure identify weaknesses before attackers do. Combine with this deployment's visibility for a complete security posture view.
Recommended Quarterly
📋
Compliance Audit Readiness
Your new solution generates audit evidence automatically — configuration compliance reports, log retention, access controls. Schedule a compliance mapping session with us.

🧑‍🏫
Security Awareness Training
Technology handles 80% of threats. The other 20% is human error — phishing, weak passwords, social engineering. Invest in regular training for your team.

🔄
Annual Health Check & Review
Technology, threats, and business needs evolve. An annual review ensures your configs, policies, and integrations keep pace. We offer this as a scheduled service.

How to Get Support

Two support channels work in parallel — Raksha for advisory and implementation support, the OEM for product-level technical issues. Know when to call whom.

🔵
Raksha Support

Your first call for anything related to configuration, integration, policy changes, performance issues, and deployment questions.

Email: support@raksha.co.in
Phone: [Support Number]
Portal: [Support Portal URL]
Hours: Mon-Sat, 9 AM – 7 PM IST
SLA: P1: 1hr response, P2: 4hr, P3: 8hr, P4: NBD

How to Log a Ticket:

1. Email support@raksha.co.in with subject: [Company] - [Priority] - [Brief Issue]
2. Include: product name, error screenshot, steps to reproduce, impact
3. You'll receive a ticket ID within 30 minutes
4. Track status via the support portal or reply to the ticket email

🟡
OEM / Vendor Support

For product bugs, firmware issues, hardware failures, and deep technical troubleshooting that requires vendor engineering.

Vendor: [e.g., Palo Alto Networks]
Portal: [e.g., support.paloaltonetworks.com]
TAC Phone: [e.g., 000-800-440-1580 (India)]
Entitlement: [Support Contract / Serial Number]
Account: [Portal Login Credentials — shared via vault]

How to Raise an OEM Case:

1. Log in to the vendor support portal
2. Select "Create New Case" → Product → Serial Number
3. Describe the issue, attach tech-support file / logs
4. Select severity (S1 = production down, S2 = degraded, S3 = minor, S4 = question)
5. Note the case number and share with Raksha for co-tracking

💡 Pro Tip: When to Call Whom

Call Raksha first for anything configuration, policy, or integration related — we know your environment. Call OEM for product bugs, hardware failures, or when Raksha has already triaged and determined it's a product-level issue. For critical issues, we'll often open the OEM case on your behalf and manage it jointly.

Section 07

Escalation Matrix

If standard support doesn't resolve your issue within SLA, here's exactly who to contact and when. We believe in transparency — these are real people, not call centres.

🔵 Raksha Escalation Path

Level 1 — Standard Support
[Support Engineer Name]
First response for all tickets. Handles config questions, minor issues, log analysis, health checks.
Response: Within SLA (P1: 1hr, P2: 4hr)
Level 2 — Technical Lead / Delivery Manager
[Technical Lead Name]  |  [Delivery Manager Name]
Escalate when: L1 unresolved after 24hrs, P1 issue, or design/architecture question. Owns investigation and resolution.
Contact: [Phone] [Email]
Level 3 — Practice Head / Account Director
[Practice Head Name]
Escalate when: L2 unresolved after 48hrs, business-impacting issue, or SLA breach. Has authority to allocate additional resources.
Contact: [Phone] [Email]
Level 4 — Raksha Leadership
[Director / CTO Name]
Escalate when: Critical business impact, repeated SLA breaches, or relationship concerns. Direct engagement from leadership.
Contact: [Phone] [Email]

🟡 OEM Escalation Path

Standard TAC Case
OEM Technical Assistance Centre
Standard support case via portal. Engineer assigned based on product and severity.
Request Case Escalation
Ask for "Duty Manager" or "Case Manager"
If TAC case stalls after 48hrs or severity warrants faster action. Call TAC and request case escalation with case number.
Raksha-Assisted OEM Escalation
Raksha uses partner relationship
Raksha leverages partner-level OEM contacts to escalate on your behalf. We engage the OEM's SE, account team, and regional support managers. This is a significant advantage of working through a trusted partner.
📅
Section 08

Key Dates & Reminders

Never miss a renewal, warranty expiry, or review date. We'll remind you — but keep this for your records.

Contract Start[DD-MMM-YYYY]
Hardware Warranty Expiry[DD-MMM-YYYY]
Software License Renewal[DD-MMM-YYYY]
AMC Renewal Date[DD-MMM-YYYY]
30-Day Health Check[DD-MMM-YYYY]
60-Day Health Check[DD-MMM-YYYY]
90-Day Health Check[DD-MMM-YYYY]
Annual Review[DD-MMM-YYYY]
Renewal Reminder (60 days before expiry)[DD-MMM-YYYY]

💡 We'll Remind You

Raksha proactively sends renewal reminders 90 and 60 days before any expiry. But we recommend adding these dates to your own calendar as a backup. Lapsed support contracts can mean no coverage when you need it most.

Section 09

Quick Do's & Don'ts

Simple rules to protect your investment and keep your security posture strong.

Do

✓ Keep firmware updated — we'll advise on recommended versions

✓ Back up configs before making any changes

✓ Review logs and dashboards weekly — don't set and forget

✓ Follow change management for all policy modifications

✓ Test backup restore procedures quarterly

✓ Report issues early — small problems are easier to fix

✓ Attend the scheduled health check reviews

✓ Keep support contract current — renewal lapses create gaps

✓ Document any changes your team makes post-handover

Don't

✗ Don't update firmware without checking with Raksha or OEM first

✗ Don't disable security features to "fix" connectivity issues

✗ Don't share admin credentials via email — use a password vault

✗ Don't ignore alerts — investigate or escalate, never dismiss

✗ Don't make production changes without a tested rollback plan

✗ Don't let support contracts lapse — you lose update access and TAC

✗ Don't bypass change management for "quick fixes"

✗ Don't assume "it's working fine" = "it's secure" — schedule reviews

✗ Don't forget to rotate admin passwords regularly
