Internet Security

The security challenge that businesses face today is one of implementing the correct solutions and considering what is on offer. The only perfect secure computer is not connected to a network and locked away in a vault, which makes it useless. All computer systems and network devices must be protected in some fashion while maintaining usability. More accessibility opens up more opportunities for an attacker, but if you secure your systems effectively, this does not necessarily increase your security risk.

Securing and protecting your data, network and systems can be categorised into different levels. When opening your systems to the Internet you are connecting to approximately 300 million+ other hosts. When you think about the probability of a hack or a virus attack the ratio is high.

There are many different ways an intruder or hacker can try to break into or damage your systems but for most environments it will be either from the network directly or software developed to erase, corrupt or be a nuisance. Two defences you must install to overcome such attacks are a firewall and anti-virus.

Securing Content

Many businesses do not consider the Internet as a course for employees to abuse or steal but statistics show that 80% of network fraud or abuse comes from your own employees.

By introducing Web and E-mail security products you can initiate a security policy to monitor, filter and restrict employees usage of the Internet and the business e-mail system.
