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?
Network security is often associated with the installation of a firewall, however effective security extends further than this, with additional considerations, such as:
- Company email access on a mobile device which is subsequently lost or stolen.
- Regular system updates to prevent malicious programs harvesting information.
- Regular firmware and software updates conducted on hardware security devices.
- Virus software to prevent harmful programs running on PCs.
For feedback and advice on the status of your current systems, please contact us (link to contact us) to arrange a security audit. |

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 public network (e.g. the Internet) and offers a complete solution for companies seeking a cost-effective method of transferring data between users in multiple locations. |

Most firewalls / Internet routers have VPN capability and when configured correctly will enable users to work remotely in just the same way as they would in the office.
We have installed and currently support VPN configurations with anything from 2 users through to over 10 linked offices with many home workers on a single network. |
