Is your network
secure? Let us check before a hacker does!
Cyber crimes are proliferating at a significantly faster rate
than conventional crimes. Harwood Consulting’s Network Security
consulting services are designed to deliver the level of trust
and responsibility that people expect from their computing
environment. Our goals mirror yours: Security, Privacy,
Reliability, and Business Integrity.
Harwood
Consulting’s Network Security practice is focused on developing
a strategy to secure IT infrastructure. We implement solutions
specifically designed to protect your corporate technological
assets from unauthorized access or misuse. We secure your
network by utilizing proven methodologies and solutions in the
following areas:
Patch Management and Windows Updates
Worms are
responsible for causing severe damage on all types of networks.
Melissa, Love Bug, Blaster, Slammer and MyDoom are all worms
that affected numerous networks around the world in recent
years. Your organization may have been directly affected, or you
may have known someone who was. What you not have known was that
Microsoft released a “patch” for some of these worms before they
ever affected the public. Now, you’re probably asking yourself,
“So, why were people still affected if patches for these worms
were available?” The answer is simple. Patch management. If the
proper patches are not applied, then your network remains
vulnerable. It is imperative that action is taken by companies
to patch operating system vulnerabilities to prevent these types
of worms and viruses.
Patch
management solutions are not only recommended but are
essentially a requirement in today’s computing environment.
Patch management is the process of reviewing software
vulnerabilities, testing the solution, and then patching systems
accordingly. Harwood Consulting will assess, prepare, and deploy
patch management solutions using proven technologies to help
keep our customer’s information secure.
Anti-Virus
Viruses can
wreck havoc on your business. Viruses can be designed to cause a
multitude of problems including data deletion, corrupt files,
record keystrokes, allow unauthorized access to your computer,
send emails using your information, and prevent your computer
from booting at all. Viruses usually proliferate by infecting
other computers on the network and eventually cause dreaded
downtime.
Harwood
Consulting provides anti-virus solutions to protect you from
falling prey to viruses. If you access the Internet in any way,
you are at risk of acquiring a virus. Our anti-virus solutions
will help protect you from today’s threats.
Removing
viruses once your network has been infected can be challenging;
however, we have superior tools to help us cleanse your computer
of the unwanted menace.
Anti-Spyware
Spyware is
computer
software that is installed on a
personal
computer to intercept or take partial control over
the user's interaction with the computer, without the user's
informed
consent.
Spyware frequently performs certain behaviors such as
advertising, or it may collect personal information or change
the configuration of your computer. Spyware and other unwanted
software can invade your privacy, inundate your computer with
pop-up windows, and even make your computer crash.
Harwood
Consulting understands how this negatively affects business.
Our Network Engineers have the expertise to protect your systems
against spyware, and other unwanted software. Although it is
much easier to prevent spyware than to remove it, we also
utilize advanced tools to remove them.
Firewalls
Firewalls use
hardware and/or software to prevent unauthorized access into
your network. Firewall solutions support a broad range of
security applications from broadband users to corporate
networks. Harwood Consulting provides cost-effective solutions
that provide protection for your network resources and data from
intruders and viruses. Harwood Consulting has the experience to
implement secure firewall solutions for your business.
Anti-SPAM
As you may
know, SPAM is unwanted email which usually presents discount
medications, body enhancements, or subject lines containing
vulgar/offensive language. What you may not know, is that once a
single SPAM message reaches an end user on your network, it has
the potential to be delivered to everyone in the entire
organization, as well as all of their email contacts. Harwood
Consulting has solutions for you to reduce or virtually
eliminate all unwanted email within your email systems.
Significant
productivity and resources are wasted while your employees are
deleting SPAM. In addition, server resources are wasted by
storing copies of SPAM. Harwood Consulting can implement their
custom-designed "intelligent" SPAM and virus filter in your
organization to better protect you, your employees, and your
bottom line. |
