Preferred Security - Protection for Small-Medium Businesses

Protect your Organization Inside and Out

Are you at risk?

How secure is your company?  The Internet offers significant benefits to small and medium businesses, but with it comes many security issues.  From technical issues like viruses and spyware to data theft threats, and even security concerns with your internal staff, layering protection into your current IT infrastructure is becoming more and more important every day.  We can help you by reviewing your organization's needs and pairing you with one of our affordable security solutions.

Firewalls and Network Protection

Stop viruses from entering your infrastructure and start preventing workstation downtime and slowness issues.  We can help pick out the best Firewall solution for your business, getting you the most for your budget.  In fact, most solutions we suggest offer enterprise-class security for a small business price.  Stop harmful intrusion issues before you need to deal with one.  Best of all, you won't need to deal with workstation-based software firewalls that drastically slow down your end-user's computers.

 

Content Filtering

Block inappropriate websites and content from entering your infrastructure.  Our flexible Content Filter solutions can be set up with customized policies that keep your employees from getting distracted with sites that might keep them from working, like Facebook and MySpace, but still allow them to search and browse the web if they need to.  This also includes sites with adult content that is simply not tasteful, especially for a work environment.  Content filtering works in tandem with your firewall to block malware (which is often found on inappropriate sites anyway!) to keep your IT infrastructure safe and secure.

 

Device Control

No business owner wants to assume that their employees are one of their company's security risks, but according to studies, 59% of people who lost their job admitted to taking confidential information with them either using CD and DVD media or using USB drives.  It's getting easier and easier for users to grab files, especially with fast, high-capacity USB thumb drives.  Protect your data from internal threats by blocking access to portable storage media such as external drives, usb flash drives, cameras, mp3 players, and CD/DVD writers.  Give access to only those who need it, so you never have to worry about your business documents getting into the wrong hands.

Security Compliance

"While external attacks are serious enough, the threat posed by one's own employees can often be much worse. "An external attacker is not motivated to do much damage, doesn't know what to look for and is more likely to stumble into an intrusion detection system," explains Marcus J. Ranum, chief technology officer of NFR Security, Inc. "The attacks that hurt are from a disgruntled employee who is motivated to come after you."
