7. Managed Firewall & Security Solutions
Transferring and sharing valuable and confidential information via a
network is commonplace.
Unfortunately, this information can be open to theft or misuse and the
systems communicating or storing it susceptible to disruption or
damage.
Attacks on a network can be planned and specifically targeted, whereas
others may be opportunistic.
Ensuring your network is resilient to such attacks is vital not only
commercially but legislatively.
How secure is your network?

8. Remote Access (VPN)
Many companies have remote facilities and individuals posted
around the country and indeed the world, all with the need to
maintain fast, secure and reliable communications wherever their
location.
A VPN (virtual private network) is a private network that uses a

9. Centralized Antivirus Management
Having a tightly controlled firewall on the perimeter of a network will prevent incoming malicious connections and is a vital
component within the security function. However, sophisticated and devious methods, designed to trick users into allowing
malware (malicious software) onto their computers remain prevalent, making antivirus software at client / server level as
important as ever.
Viral attacks can take many forms. As manufacturers of operating systems develop the effectiveness of their security
patching, creators of malware adopt more inventive methods to infiltrate networks and PCs.
