Network Security - An important part of business is securing vital data from corruption. This could come from external sources. Computer data being compromised from within the company could be due to malicious intent, natural disasters, or even human error. External breaches are caused mainly from the internet. We recognise these vulnerabilities and provide measures to ensure that the integrity of company data is preserved. Here are some examples of network security:

Firewalls - Setting up and maintaining hardware firewalls. An important part of separating Intranets and the Internet is by routing Internet conections through a firewall. This provides a very effective and secure method of network protection from malicious Internet intruders. Another service that some firewalls can provide is restricting users from accessing the Internet at given times by providing a LOCK OUT period as well as installing a script that prohibits certain users from accessing undesirable Internet sites.

Security Policies - Introducing company policies and creating user groups and appropriate policies/permissions, so that users are not exposed to unnecessary data and/or resources. This reduces the likelihood of human error and intentional harm.

Other means are from Virus checkers and uninterruptible power supplies are other important means of protecting both software and hardware.
