Computer & Network Security
Don't let your organisation be next...
Viruses, junk email, spyware and other security risks are unfortunately now commonplace. A security breach can paralyse an entire business in a matter of minutes, as many companies have discovered to their cost.
Not only are external risks like those mentioned above expensive to correct, but also the damage to customer confidence and risk to operations from an internal threat such as a disgruntled employee can cripple an organisation.
Our Consultants are all experienced in this field and can provide confidential solutions to all your network security needs.
Viruses & Spyware
As more and more companies join the broadband revolution, virus protection has become the No. 1 ‘hot topic.’ Viruses and spyware can cripple an organisation’s systems leaving them unable to work. New viruses compromise passwords and pass confidential data to unscrupulous third parties. If you need assistance in choosing the right package or help in ensuring you are getting the maximum protection from your software, call our security team.
Spam & Junk Email
Spam is unsolicited commercial email, the electronic equivalent of the junk mail that comes through your letterbox normally advertising herbal remedies, financial services, get rich quick schemes, pornographic material and on-line gambling to name but a few.
How can Spam affect me?
- Spam wastes staff time. Users without anti-spam protection have to check which email is spam and then delete it.
- Users can easily overlook or delete important email, confusing it with spam.
- Spam, like hoaxes or email viruses, uses bandwidth and fills up databases.
- Some spam offends users. Employers may be held responsible, as they are expected to provide a safe working environment.
- Spammers often use other people’s computers to send spam (“hijacking”).
Why let others to fill your PC and ‘in-box’ with ‘junk’ mail. Call us today to discuss the solutions available.
Firewalls
Attacks on computer networks from the Internet have dramatically increased in sophistication and frequency. These attacks are affecting all types of networks from home users up to large corporations.
"But it will never happen to me"
Many people believe that their computer system is not a computer hacker's target. This can be an expensive mistake. Even if you believe that the data you store on your network is not sufficiently sensitive to attract a hacker attack, most of the more common attacks occurring today use automated systems, roaming the Internet looking for vulnerable networks. These attacks can occur randomly so it's only a matter of time before any poorly protected system is hit. This will cost time, money and possibly lost data.
Installing an industry recognised hardware firewall will significantly reduce the possibility of an attack on your network. At Barton Technology we only use manufacturers who are at the top of the industry, backed by them via partner status we can install, configure and maintain your firewall to the highest professional standard.
Internal Threats
Many security problems are created internally either by genuine mistake, ignorance or malicious intent. Remove the risks of employees copying, corrupting or abusing your company information. Keep an eye on that employee who you believe may be setting up a business in competition to you and prevent them from downloading applications which may quench your resources or harm your systems.
We have many solutions to these problems including Consultancy, company policies & disclaimers etc, Incident Investigation and Physical Security Audits.
Internet & Email Content Filtering
Employers are responsible to provide a safe working environment, including the prevention of staff being subjected to offensive material. Unsecured Internet access potentially could allow indecent content to be viewed or transmitted to other individuals via your systems.
We can assist by providing solutions which prevent access to any contentious internet sites, including gambling and pornography sites - keeping your business within the law. Emails can be scanned and any words which are offensive or indicate a threat to the organisation can be flagged or stopped immediately.
We have many solutions to secure your Internet and email. Call one of our consultants to confidentially discuss your requirements.
