Worldwide, all businesses are becoming more and more reliant on their networks for survival. This coupled with the growing trend for the convergence of the voice, data, and video over a single IP network make a company's network infrastructure one of the most critical elements in its overall operation. Businesses can no longer afford not to include a thorough and comprehensive plan for their continued availability as part of business continuity and disaster recovery planning efforts.
Small companies tend to have little control over their IT systems. This leaves them vulnerable to intentional and unintentional security breaches. Security is something acs and its specialist partners can assist with.
Secure your IT network
Communications - This includes things like anti-virus solutions, network configuration, firewalls.
Group Policy - A Group Policy Object (GPO) is a governance framework that applies to Active Directory Organisational Units to enforce certain settings to workstations, servers and users. These settings can include look-and-feel configuration and security lockdown.
Desktop Lockdown - By configuring (and in most cases, removing) certain features from the desktop, the amount of damage that can potentially be caused by a user can be limited.
Device Control - Certain computer devices (e.g. USB storage devices, I/O ports, Bluetooth, WiFi) are often the vehicle for security breaches; by either loss or theft of data. By controlling access to these devices and ensuring that the contents are encrypted, the potential for damage can be limited.
Auditing - Auditing can work in two ways: 1) it can log who has done what, where and when, and 2) it can log what has not happened; for example this person attempted to do this action but was blocked. This can then be used to take whatever action is required.
