Network Security

When it comes to network security, it is easy for small to medium-sized businesses to say “not me”, “they are only after the big guys.” The reality is that attacks on all networks have been increasing year after year as hackers have become more sophisticated, and small businesses are being affected every day by relaxed or non-existent security policies.

A recent study showed that 1 in every 5 small businesses networks would be compromised. With the ever-increasing number of threats, these numbers have climbed, posing a significant risk for a potential breach, lost or stolen data, or some type of malicious threat.

There are a number of ways IT Service ArchiTechs helps to ensure that you are at minimum risk:

Risk Assessments

Formal Risk Assessment is a critical first step to discovering, correcting and preventing security and compliance problems in your organization. ITSA can coordinate assessments of your business and provide a plan to address vulnerabilities and remediate security compliance gaps.

Security Log Monitoring

Un-patched computers and network systems are one of the most common ways businesses can be exploited and breached. ITSA’s managed services and preventative maintenance programs are critical to keeping computers and network equipment patched to protect against modern threats and comply with regulations.

Firewall

A common mistake in small to medium business networks is the lack of a business-grade firewall solution. Often business owners are unaware of the difference between having a network router and having a network firewall in place. ITSA provides firewalls with Unified Threat Management and Intrusion Detection in place to protect your network hackers and threats at the gateway.

Passwords

Password and password protection are proving to be an area that needs attention when discussing network security. Using sophisticated software and tools, hackers are easily gaining access to small business networks through simple or default passwords

Antivirus/Antispam

Most people know that antivirus and antispam software are necessary components of network security, but many people don’t realize why it’s so important until their computer or network is infected with a virus, malware, spyware, or a host of other potentially dangerous issues.
