IT Security Solutions

If you were to assess the risks to your business then IT security would feature high. Not only is the number of viruses and other threats higher than ever, but the potential impact of losing your system is huge.

We have a comprehensive suite of security solutions to protect your systems and your business:

Spam filtering for email and anti-virus protection

The base level of security we recommend is to filter out spam emails and to guard against viruses from emails and web surfing. For every organisation, this should begin with installing anti-virus software on all your PCs.

In addition, most organisations will benefit from an off-site email filtering solution which identifies rogue emails early on and prevents megabytes of spam from reaching your systems. Not only does this offer extra security, but it also frees your servers from processing junk mail when they could be doing something more useful.

A firewall to also protect against spyware, trojans and other security threats

Most of us use firewalls, but often the solution from our internet service provider is insufficient for business users. That’s why for any business we recommend a hardware firewall to protect your network from attack - and to enable secure communication between your offices and remote workers where it’s needed.

To make this work at its best we supply Unified Threat Management devices that scan every piece of data running through the network for things that could damage your business, from both email use and web browsing.

Extra security to protect your data

It is worth considering an extra layer of protection, especially where you hold a lot of sensitive data. For example, if you take payments by credit card then you need a security solution that meets the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.

We supply a ‘two-factor authentication’ solution that gives each user a keyfob-style device coupled to a unique login code. Only when the fob and code are used can anyone access the system. As well as helping to keep unwelcome people out of your system, the system provides you with information about who has logged on and where and when they did it.

Please contact us to discuss your security needs and for advice on whether your current protection is enough. And because system or physical disasters can strike even when the highest levels of security are in place, take a look at how we can help you establish suitable backup and disaster recovery procedures.
