IT-Security is paramount and an ever-increasing concern. Companies should not just think about protecting their networks from external attack, they should have policies for security flaws which come from inside the network. EVERSYS has developed many different solutions to help protect a company's most important asset - its DATA! |
Anti-Virus and Internet Security
The Web opens the door to businesses and helps extend its reach and productivity. However, the same communication lines that enable ecommerce also expose businesses to risks. A good anti-virus solution stops these web threats before they get through your front door!
Why?
- Anti-virus software stops viruses, spyware, spam, and other email, file and web threats before they reach your business
- Such software can detect threats faster and constantly updates your protection
Key benefits...
- Fast Scanning: Detects and removes the latest threats, giving you continuously updated protection with minimal impact on users' PC performance.
- Block Inappropriate Websites: Gain extra protection from web threats by blocking exposure to risky websites, and help keep employees focused by blocking access to offensive or non-work related sites.
- Global Neighborhood Watch: Automatically identifies new threats and feeds back security-related issues or events to Trend Micro using Smart Feedback technology, speeding resolution of threats for all users.
- USB Device Threat Prevention: Prevents viruses on USB devices from infecting users' computers.
Firewalls
A firewall is a part of a computer system or network that is designed to block unauthorised access while at the same time permitting authorised communications. It is a device or set of devices configured to permit, deny, encrypt, decrypt, or proxy all (in and out) computer traffic between different destinations based upon a set of rules and other criteria.
Why?
- Whilst security is essential for all businesses, different customers need different system sizes and services
- Without proper configuration, a firewall can often become worthless
- Such configuration requires detailed understanding of the network applications and endpoints required for the organisation's day-to-day operation

Wireless LAN (WLAN)
... a technology which enables two or more computers or devices to communicate, within a certain limited area, without the use of wires.
Why?

- Easily enable a secure internet connection for your customers or guests, when they come to visit your offices
Advantages
- Cableless offices
- Ease of deployment
- Network expandability
- Convenience
- Mobility
- Cost
Disadvantages
- Security
- Range
- Speed
- Reliablity
- Radio emissions
Backup Strategy
Backup refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original in the event of data loss. Since a backup system contains at least one copy of all data worth saving, the data storage requirements are considerable. Organising this storage space and managing the backup process is a complicated undertaking.
Why?
- To restore a system state or data following a disaster (called disaster recovery)
- To restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted
Key features...
- The more important the data that is stored on the computer the greater the need is for backing up this data
- A backup is only as useful as its associated restore strategy
- Storing the copy near the original is unwise, since many disasters such as fire, flood and electrical surges are likely to cause damage to the backup at the same time
- Automated backup and scheduling should be considered, as manual backups can be affected by human error
- Backups will fail for a wide variety of reasons. A verification or monitoring strategy is an important part of a successful backup plan
- It is good to store backed up archives in open/standard formats, helping with recovery in the future if the backup software is obsolete
Encryption
... the process of transforming information using an algorithm to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key. The result of the process is encrypted information.
Why?
- Don't worry about your data if you lose your notebook or USB-stick and it comes into the wrong hands
- E-mail communication over the public internet is transmitted as plain text - that means anyone, using the right means, can read these insecure messages!
Key benefits...
- Protect data (server data)
- Protect data in transit (notebooks, USB-sticks etc.)
- Facilitate secret communication
- Protect the confidentiality of messages (e-mail encryption)
