Network Security
The year 2003 was a horrible year in network security. Viruses like SoBig, and the Slammer worm that shut down many large networks (including Bank of America's ATM system) were coming from every direction. Every year, the number of threats on the Internet roughly doubles. This year is expected to be worse, and we have already seen proof of this with the many destructive variants of MyDoom/DoomJuice.
Many of these are email-bourne viruses that would never be a concern if people knew how to spot them. Others, like Slammer, exploited a vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Servers that had been patched months before.
Many of these extremely costly incidents could have been avoided, had a much smaller investment been put in to have an expert look things over -- Let us be your experts.
Administrative Process Automation
We can automate most aspects of network security with your Windows 2000 & Windows 2003 servers. Security policies can be enforced that will keep your employees from having access to things they should not have access to, software updates can be automated, and regular data backups can be scheduled to keep your network running smoothly, and to make it easier to fix should something go wrong.
Network Security Scans
We offer network security scans of both what can be accessed from the internet, and what security flaws lie within the network. We will review with you what we found, the severity of the issue, and what it will take to fix it. Most fixes take only minutes. Hardening your network to intrusion is a fast way to get a confident sense of security.
Employee Training
Deploying software updates and antivirus software is a common layer of security, but end-user training is probably the most overlooked aspect of network security. We can train your employees on how to keep their computers safe from common methods of intrusion by following a simple set of rules.
Managed Services
For a small monthly subscription, we will monitor your network every day to make sure all of your network services are available to your employees. We will basically function as your network's guardian angel.
