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
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
Threats can come from inside as well as outside. The
physical security of equipment is one. Data theft is an
increasing problem. Passwords can be a nightmlare 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 |

|
Security Audits
Don't panic. It may not be as bad as it seems. A series of
straightforward measures can dramatically reduce risks and bring
most threats under control. Contact us for a security audit to
assess your needs and the solutions most suitable for your
organisation. |
