Internet Security

Unfortunately connecting to internet brings additional threats to every computer system; so much so that if you connect with out a firewall it may only be seconds before you experience some form of threat or attack. Combating these threats is a pure waste of resources, however, you have no choice but to protect yourself.

Firewalls

Separate your network for everyone else, allowing only "authorised" access to your network and systems.

Viruses and Spy ware

Are malicious code and programs designed to disrupt your systems or provide information or access to others who have no right to it.

Spam

Is a growing nuisance for some people where your mailbox is filled with tens and hundreds of unwanted and unsolicited email, taking a lot of time and effort to delete.

There are many ways to protect yourself from the growing number of threats, we can help find the right products and services for you.

Data Security

Without specific care and attention data security can be neglected and you only discover the failings of your system when it is too late. Data security should not be complicated but it should be thought through, put in place and maintained with care.

Data backup and restore

Some specialists quote statistics of company failures in excess of 80% if they catastrophically loose their systems and data. This is true but the likelihood of a catastrophic failure is not that high; but even with care we believe every company will experience some form of failure and disruption every 3 - 4 years. This can be planned for and good regular system and data backups is the starting point in every case.

Access and user permissions

Computers help people share information but there is information we only want certain people to see and use. Access to information may be restricted for many reasons, ranging from commercial and accounting to personal data.

Internet usage and monitoring

Unfortunately not everyone just works at work. There are times when it may be necessary to monitor or restrict how people use the internet and company computing facilities.

Data Recovery

The best route for data recovery is from a properly designed backup process, however, even when disks fail there is a good chance your valuable data can be recovered. This is the last resort and the chances of success diminish dramatically if the failures are caused by fire and flood.

We can help you treat data security with the care it deserves.
