Network Security
Protecting your business from evolving cyber threats
Network security consists of many different elements. In its most basic form, it covers all the potential points of weakness that can be exploited — from spam emails and password phishing to wireless packet interception and direct hacking into files.
It’s important to take a holistic view of network security. It would be ineffective to have strong passwords changing every three months only for the firewall to be easily bypassed, allowing direct access anyway. Many companies become quite lax — a wireless system installed three years ago may have had top security at the time, but several years later with protocol changes and no updates, it could be quite easy to bypass.
Most businesses today are built on data. If that data is lost or compromised, it could very well mean the same for the company.
Firewalls
Firewalls are the first line of defence for any network. They stop attacks and intruders from accessing your systems and act as a warning system — as soon as suspicious activity is detected, a notification is sent. With all the threats out there today, firewalls are critical. Imagine a scammer gaining access to your company emails — they could send out invoices and POs from genuine email accounts, and ultimately you would be liable.
VPNs
VPNs create a private and secure link between your location and the office, essentially using an internet connection in place of traditional cabling. VPNs have many uses — we commonly deploy them as an extra layer of security for users employing remote desktop technologies, ensuring all data in transit is encrypted and protected.
Wireless Security
More and more devices are using wireless technologies to connect. As these technologies improve, so do their range — and the risk of interception. It’s extremely important that the right encryption method is being used, as this is the only line of defence. If the encryption is broken, a hacker can see everything you are doing online.
Managed Antivirus
Centrally managed antivirus protection across all your business endpoints. Automated reporting, scheduled scans, and proactive threat alerts ensure your systems stay protected against the latest threats, with full compliance documentation.
Email Security & Antispam
Email spam filtering to protect against phishing, malware, and unwanted messages. Reduce the risk of staff clicking on malicious links with enterprise-grade email security that blocks threats before they reach your inbox.
Access Control
Ensure personal and business data can only be accessed by individuals who need it for their role. We help structure network permissions, implement access policies, and conduct regular reviews to maintain security compliance.
