Business Network and Internet Security

Keeping your company, its data and machinery electronically secure is a wide and varied task. As well as Backup and Antivirus, there are a number of threats and solutions to consider. Here at Solid IT, we implement the most suitable solutions and ensure you are totally protected for the lowest cost.

Security Packages

Network enterprises demand comprehensive security. As your company's network evolves then so must the security of the network. By focusing purely on network security, Solid IT can provide flexible, state-of-the-art solutions.

Security Tests and Audits

Solid IT offers regular checks from monthly to real-time. We provide complete reports that will not only tell you what is wrong on your network, but will also tell you how to prevent hackers from exploiting the security holes found and will provide the risk level of each problem found (from Low to Very High)

Solid IT mainly focuses on the development of security checks for recent security holes. Our security checks and vulnerability database are updated on a daily basis.

Internal checks are carried out because reputable authorities such as the National Audit Office still maintain that internal attacks are much more common than external hacks.

Firewall

A firewall is software and hardware that is designed to prevent unauthorised users accessing your computers. Most people do not realise that their Internet connection is just like a telephone call: it is a two-way conversation between your network and the servers and systems that make up the Internet.

While you are connecting to the Internet, who is connecting to you? A firewall will prevent people stealing your data, storing their work on your machines, and even using your computers to attack other people's networks!

Virtual Private Networks

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows two or more computers to communicate over an encrypted link. The purpose of the encrypted link is to allow you to use the Internet for communications that you ordinarily would not. For example, you can share the folders on a hard disk on the office computer with your home computer. This could be very useful to those who find themselves working at home or out of hours.

Since our VPN technique offers 128-bit encryption, you will not be worrying that someone else on the Internet would be able to access your files. Multiple VPN connections can be connected. In fact, the number is really only limited by the available bandwidth on your Internet connection.

Network and Internet Security Threats

Hacker Protection

It is far easier to attack than to defend and on the Internet there are literally thousands of attackers from around the world. The Internet Worm, Ping-'O-Death, Win-Nuke - these are but a few of the hundreds of very devious ways to disrupt businesses.

Every time you connect to the Internet you are vulnerable to hackers. If you have a website you are attackable 24 hours a day. Whilst most attacks are not commercially malicious, the cost of repair can be staggering.

Solid IT can perform various ethical attacks against your systems to analyse your current level of protection.

Spammers

Spam is commonly thought of as junk e-mail that advertises products or services. By design, our configurations exclude the most common types. We can also block e-mail from specific organisations for you.

Email servers are frequent targets for mis-use on the Internet. Our configurations have always included specific steps to safeguard the server - and we keep current with the latest revisions.

Individuals and organisations on the Internet will attempt to take control of mail servers to send e-mail from your address. Your account may be used for sending nuisance or harassing e-mail, or even worse involved in fraud and money laundering.

The recent Denial of Service attacks on major organisations have originated from hacked systems.

Why expose your company to the expense of negligence claims or P.R denials from your system being used as an entry point by hackers for the purpose of vandalism?

Network Security Overview

The Internet has allowed for enhanced opportunities for both business communication and commerce to grow at tremendous rates. However, the same technology that has facilitated the increase in global business also allows attackers to take advantage of your organization's vital applications and network systems exponentially.

Here at Solid IT we have the ability to implement security audits on your web application infrastructure on an application-by-application basis. Along with a detailed description of application vulnerabilities, we also suggest remediation strategies to harden your application.

Using cutting edge application security tools, our qualified engineers and management team provide security consulting to help protect your applicatiions. This includes regular audits, technical architecture design, and other integration/implementation services.

Once Solid IT has outlined these potential exploitation points, we will provide recommendations and advice for the most effective way to maintain a safe application environment and how to correct security flaws in future application development.
