Security

Suffer a security breach and you not only stand to lose out financially, but you’ll also lose face within the industry and with your customers.

The sharp rise in remote working and mobile computing pose a serious security threat. The line between home and office is blurred, but sensitive corporate and user data still must be protected. IT departments now have to work harder to maintain antivirus and software updates, as many computers aren’t physically located onsite, while storage devices, like USB sticks and media players, can allow viruses and malware in and valuable data out. Inadequate remote working security, a lack of security understanding and lax policy enforcement only compound the problem.

Achieving effective network security requires the use of multiple-protection layers, from the perimeter of the LAN to the data stored within specific applications. Neglect any one layer and a system is open to exploits. This makes ensuring all devices and applications are up to date with the latest security and protection patches a full-time operation.

Our range of services for securing the IP infrastructure, from internal LAN and telephony systems security through to Firewall Health Checks and PCI/ DSS compliance, will help you avoid the nightmare of a breach. All known threats are considered, categorised and applied to a security policy, which is referenced at every stage of your network’s design and implementation as well as the day-to-day management of your infrastructure.
