Network Security
Network security is not one size fits all. There are many considerations that go into developing a good security plan that works for you. The network professionals at TCW can help you assess the security of your network and develop a solution that protects your valuable information assets while giving you the freedom you need to work efficiently.
A few components that should be part of every security plan:
Internet Firewall and Intrusion Prevention Firewall security has improved significantly in recent years with the evolution of deep packet inspection and intrusion prevention technology. But not all firewalls are created equally; many entry-level firewalls still rely on decades-old technology. As a SonicWall Silver Partner and 3Com Gold Partner, we have expertise in the latest firewall technologies and can help you find the right solution.
Anti-Virus and Desktop Security Software Anti-virus software has also become much more sophisticated today, protecting desktop computers and servers from security threats ranging from viruses to spyware to network intrusion attacks. Security software is particularly important for mobile computers that frequently connect to non-secured public internet connections or less-secure home networks. TCW has partnered with Symantec and Trend Micro to offer our customers best-of-breed software security solutions.
Patch Management Software vulnerabilities pose a serious security risk for any network, which is why it is very important to keep up to date with operating system and software updates. Microsoft provides a patch management system that can be installed on a Windows server to centrally monitor and deploy updates to all of the servers and desktops on your network. TCW can help you setup a patch management system using experience-based best practices, or you can subscribe to our patch management service and let us handle all the details for you.
Web and Email Filtering A growing security risk today is posed by malicious and fraudulent websites, not to mention the liability and productivity concerns associated with unmonitored and unrestricted employee internet access. The term "phishing" is used to identify the process of trying to trick an unsuspecting victim into providing sensitive information in an electronic transaction by pretending to be a representative of a trusted third party. Phishing is difficult to combat using traditional firewalls and security software because it leverages legitimate communication systems like email and web to con a person into willingly giving away private information. A tool that has proved successful in combating phishing as well as identifying others kinds of intentional or unintentional abuses of the internet is content filtering. Ask us about the range of email, web, and instant messaging content filtering solutions we have to offer.
Secure Network Configuration All the security products in the world will not keep your network secure if it's not configured properly. That's why it's important to work with an experienced network professional who knows how to build secure networks from the ground up. TCW has been building secure networks for our customers for more than 15 years, and we have an experienced team of network technicians and engineers who can help you achieve your goals without sacrificing the security of your valuable information assets.
