Security

How secure is your IT infrastructure? Are you effectively leaving the front door open without even knowing it?
 
Information security means protecting you and your business information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruction. 
 
The threat can be from both outside your company infrastructure and even your own employees, past or present. Why try to remotely attack IT infrastructure, when someone on the inside can do it for you? 
 
Even with firewalls, VPN’s, encryption, antivirus etc. you need to be aware that a large amount of data theft happens from people within the organizations who are valid users with credentials to access the data.

“Safely & Securely Accessing your Data”

As part of a health check IT Services can identify any possible problems with the safety of your data and systems and can develop and implement a policy to protect your business data.  IT Services can take steps to increase the effort required to gain access to networks and reduce the risk of downtime caused by network breaches. 

 
A firewall may allow all traffic, or it may deny all traffic unless it meets certain criteria. The criteria varies with firewall solution. This is why security risks exist as attackers look to bypass and exploit security holes that exist in client networks. 
 
How a firewall determines what traffic to let through depends on which network layer it operates at.  There are different types of firewalls including packet filters, circuit level gateways, application level gateways and state full multilayer inspection firewalls which is a combination of the 3. 
 
IT Services can help reduce the risk of exposure and provide many firewall solutions including ITS recommended, a State full Multilayer Inspection Firewall gateway to act as a gateway between your network and the internet.
