It is a known fact that Wireless technology, Microsoft products, and others do not install completely secure out of the box. It takes effort to configure a secure environment. Our staff can provided consulting services to assist your organization in securing your current network infrastructure. The best advice we can give you is to determine what level of hardening is required for your organization and document it. Once defined, we can assist you in deploying an appropriate amount of security.
Network security is the process of preventing and detecting unauthorized use and/or access to your information systems. Prevention measures help you to stop unauthorized users (also known as "intruders") from accessing any part of your computer system. Detection helps you to determine whether or not someone attempted to break into your system, if they were successful, and what they may have done.
Information security is concerned with three main areas:- Confidentiality -- information should only be available to those who rightfully should have access to it.
- Integrity -- information should only be modified by those who are authorized to do so.
- Availability -- information should be accessible to those who need it when they need it.
You probably wouldn't let a stranger look through your important documents. In the same way, you may want to keep the tasks you perform and data you create on your information system confidential. Also, you should have some assurance that the information you enter into your computer system remains intact and is available when you need it.
Some security risks arise from the possibility of intentional misuse of your computer by intruders via the Internet. Others are risks that you would face even if you weren't connected to the Internet (e.g. hard disk failures, theft, power outages). The bad news is that you probably cannot plan for every possible risk. The good news is that you can take some simple steps to reduce the chance that you'll be affected by the most common threats -- and some of those steps help with both the intentional and accidental risks you're likely to face.
