There are many reasons why you should worry about network security. Internal security is critical to protect your organisations key asset it's information. And if your network has any Internal Security.
Effective internal network security is important to prevent against unauthorised access from users within the organisation, whose motivations can vary from curiosity, through to disgruntled employees or individuals looking for commercial secrets for personal profit. An additional concern is to minimise the extent of access that an external hacker will have if they are able to pierce your firewall and other external security measures. It is also important to remember that by law, under the Data Protection Act, your organisation is responsible for ensuring that certain aspects of your business and data are kept secure and confidential at all times. Our internal security audit will look at the file system organisation, user/file level security,
Alarmingly, around 70% of organisations worldwide have no external security measures in place that are adequate enough to deter attempts at hacking. Of the 30% of organisations that have considered this aspect of security, the majority have areas of exposure that can be trivial to overcome. The reality is that once you put effective measures in place, you will instantly observe how serious the problem is. It is normal for a well configured firewall connected to the Internet to identify and reject 510 vulnerability probes per day. Without a firewall, these attempts would succeed and although the vast majority are not malicious, it is still disconcerting to realise how prevalent this problem is.
To address these problems, we offer an audit service that looks at either/both aspects of security. For each audit, a report of findings and suggested improvements is produced, following this we can either implement improvements for you or assist your IT department in doing so.
Use of a firewall is essential and a key element in securing your network from external attack. The cost of setting up an effective firewall can be minimal. If external security is a key issue, then the use of multiple firewalls and the creation of 'DeMilitarised Zones' (DMZs) can provide almost impenetrable defences. As a vendor independent company we can work with you to determine the correct balance of security and cost effectiveness. Once the solution is determined, we can set up and test the firewall and provide you with maintenance procedures.
For any firewall or server connected to the Internet, we offer a security audit service. This involves use of our sophisticated security scanning software that is continually updated to check for the latest exploits and vulnerabilities. This audit will result in a report identifying all areas where your network or system is exposed and recommend corrective actions. To assess the value of this service and identify any current security issues,
Our external security audit will identify areas of weakness in your firewall or Internet connected server. However, these will need to be addressed. If you desire, we can carry out the recommended corrective actions or work with your internal IT department to do so. If you decide that you want to maximise the effectiveness of your external security, regular audits are highly recommended together with immediate implementation of the corrective actions identified. We offer both of these services, combined under a single maintenance contract.
Contact us to request a free initial audit. Even when your external security is as sophisticated as you require, we recommend periodic audits to ensure that your firewall configuration is still correct and secure against new exploits that have been discovered since the previous audit.
