Welcome to the Big Bad Web! The Internet is a dangerous place and just as you wouldn't leave your home unlocked, neither should you leave your business systems vulnerable to attack.
IT Security is unfortunately one area that businesses tend to neglect. Management is loathe to spend money on something that doesn't appear to boost profits - until disaster strikes. What price can you put on your companies reputation through lost sales and downtime?
IT security is so much more than anti-virus on your desktops. Proper security is about good design and layered defences. It is vital that all possible avenues of attack are protected against and that there are yet more layers once the initial protection has been defeated.
For example our layered approach would include perimeter Intrusion Detections Systems (IDS) to monitor malicious attacks. There should also be proxy servers to filter all Internet traffic such as web and email. All servers should be firewalled both externally (web-facing) and also on the internal LAN. This type of defence limits damage should weaker desktop systems be compromised.
GNisp can advise on the best approach to properly secure your office and server infrastructure and have a number of products that will help achieve a more secure and robust set-up.
Additionally we offer vulnerability assessments of your systems with full reports and suggestions for areas of improvement,
