Security
We can help
Security has become an evil necessity with breaches happening around the world on a daily basis. Trends in hacking and other malicious methods of gaining your information are changing all the time and it is not enough to simply have an Anti-Virus product sitting on your desktop now.
We can help with Security Policies, User Education, Patch and Update Management, Edge Security, Network security, and Monitoring.
You can even talk to us about monitoring your premises with the latest IP Camera technology.
Laying the foundations
The first step in securing your company is to layout guidelines that let people know what is and what is not acceptable. We can compare this to what you currently have in place and let you know where your business is exposed to potential security breaches.
The basic Security Policy should include topics such as how long should your password be to what should you do if you discover you have been breached or lost a USB drive containing data. We can take you through the basics and show you where your business is at risk.
User Education
Relying on your anti-virus, web scanning, and firewall software is not enough. These will not protect you from a person clicking on a link that they shouldn’t and installing the latest Malware that will cause havoc on your network.
