Introduction

Even the smallest business needs security. Anti-virus and firewall security should be the minimum protection installed. We supply, install and configure solutions for networks and PC's.

Anti-virus

Panda Everyone should be aware of the need for anti-virus software, but it takes a lot to keep up to date as more and more viruses spread more quickly. That is why we recommend Panda anti virus. The only solution that covers PC through to file server and is updated daily.

Spyware

Spyware can be benign or malevolent, but who wants to be spied on? At their worst they can be used to capture passwords and other sensitive information, or direct the browser to dubious sites. Many antivirus packages incorporate some form of anti-spyware tool but we recommend that dedicated anti-spyware package be installed.

Emails

Emails can represent the greatest threat to an organisation today. Viruses and spyware travel on the back of malicious or hijacked mail. Spam wastes valuable time and resources and contain phishing attacks. It is vital that tools to combat all these threats are installed in your organisation.

Firewalls

You may not realise it but even the smallest networks that are connected to the internet are vulnerable to hackers. You may not have any valuable data to protect but hackers are still looking for open systems to 'acquire'. Why? So that they can use your network to launch attacks on the big companies - thus crippling your systems as a consequence.

Secure remote access VPNs

Remote access can be a great tool for any business (see our page on Teleworking). However it does need to be secure or it is an open door into the heart of your network. We can configure secure VPNs to allow remote access as well as dealing with all other aspects of remote security.

Data Backups

The biggest threat to an organisation may come from its own equipment. Loss of data or the downtime caused while data is restored can cripple a business. A comprehensive backup strategy is essential for any business. We can offer a disaster recovery planning service to counter these threats.

Other Threats

Finger print reader Threats can come from inside as well as outside. The physical security of equipment is Data theft is an increasing problem. Passwords can be a nightmare to manage. Do employees access dubious or illegal websites? A well rounded security policy needs to address all these threats as well as the more obvious ones
