Computer systems have to be protected against attack, data theft and misuse and for this reason it is necessary to deploy appropriate security measures. Most businesses will be aware of the need for good anti-virus and spyware-detection products on the computers themselves but, essential as they are, they need to be supplemented with more sophisticated tools that keep the bad guys out and allow the good guys to get on with their work.
OfficeNetExpress can analyse your IT security requirements and identify and implement the right tools and procedures to address them. Note that this doesn’t just mean technical products. For instance, all but the smallest organisations should have an “acceptable usage” policy that defines what their employees may or not do with its computers systems (e.g. not downloading obscene material, not to use internet gambling, not to copy customer databases and so on).
Some of the solutions we offer include:
Professional Level Firewalls – many small businesses are using wireless ADSL routers in order to connect to the internet. These devices are better suited to home usage and the built-in firewalls on them are not secure enough for business usage. Cisco firewalls – correctly configured by ourselves – will greatly increase your protection against unwelcome visitors over the internet.
Internet Monitoring – the internet is an essential tool to business but can be abused. An internet monitoring system can: record access to sites (who did what, when); block access to certain sites; define permitted types of usage (e.g. Facebook and eBay can only be used at lunchtimes or for a maximum of 30 minutes a day and so on).
Desktop Lockdown – problems can be caused by employees downloading or installing their own software, introducing the risks of viruses and software licensing issues (for which there can be legal repercussions). Lockdown products prevent unauthorised changes to computers and provide a clean, consistent and familiar desktop environment.
Virus Protection – protection against malware (viruses, spyware) is needed on servers as well as desktops and laptops. OfficeNetExpress offer affordable, capable solutions that provide excellent protection but without the performance problems associated with some of the “big name” products.
