21st century communications systems come at a price. The Internet is the infrastructure and the World Wide Web (WWW) is every electronic file that traverses it. Both represent an increasing IT security risk due to a greater number of malicious hackers and computer viruses. The danger to business critical systems can cost time, money and even reputation.

Fact

Security issues dominate the Internet and its functionality as a commercial market place. With frequent news of security breaches, it is easy to understand why many individuals and companies are uneasy about conducting their transactions online.

Without adequate protection, business critical systems are vulnerable to attack from both internal and external sources. Prevention and detection of unauthorised users will protect your business and prevent illegal activity. Many employers are still not aware that they, not the employees, are liable for employees Internet activity and email content.

Protection

With the increasing danger of malicious hacks on company networks, more and more companies are realising the importance of implementing adequate security policies to ensure secure Internet connectivity.

Internal security issues such as the protection of confidential or sensitive data can be complex and time consuming to manage effectively. Dpeyemedia Computer Services Limited can be called upon to manage internal policies and profiles, denying access and control to specific users or groups, and implementing security strategies to provide the level of protection you require.

Dpeyemedia Computer Services Limited can recommend, install, configure and monitor the best technologies available to protect your business from unauthorised access.

Consideration � Protect the Critical Points

The perimeter of your network inherently presents �open doors� which invite invasion. Your servers contain system configurations, applications and content vital to your business. Your desktops and users have to communicate securely with the corporate network, and remote users may dial in to utilise company network resources.

You must cover all your bases and ensure only secure and appropriate data streams pass into and out of your network.
