Many businesses are lured into the safety mindset that simply installing antivirus and a firewall will prevent security threats. The truth is proper network security involves far more than a simple solution. It is an ongoing process that must be constantly addressed and redefined. Threats are constantly emerging from both the inside and outside of your network. Many manifest themselves in spyware, viruses, and Denial of Service attacks, however there are far more sophisticated and complex threats that can compromise your data and your network.
You may be an unknowing participant in sending out spam, hacking into larger entities, or even releasing confidential client information including credit cards and medical information. Many of these may target your business when they find that you are unprotected. Others may come from the inside by means of disgruntled employees. The only prevention is to mitigate these risks with a comprehensive security plan.
IT4 has developed the Security4 managed security offering to directly address these concerns. Our method involves a three stage process.
- Audit.
In order to properly address security issues, it is first necessary to conduct a full audit from both inside and outside the office. This audit, comprised of a combination of utilities and business processes, is geared toward identifying potential threats at your organization.
- Analysis.
Our security team performs a thorough analysis of the audit results and develops a game plan to address concerns. We meet with key personnel at your site to set forth a project plan to address concerns in the order of importance, beginning with critical issues.
- Implementation.
The project is implemented according to plan with a set time frame and budget. Procedures are tested extensively using real live scenarios and third party utilities.
The essence of any good security plan is to constantly reassess and evaluate the environment to keep ahead of the current threat environment. With IT4, we can design a plan to meet both your needs and your budget, whether you need a one-time compliance audit or a long-term managed plan.
