Our security solutions for businesses
Access Control
Access control systems aim to control who has access to a building, facility, or a “for authorized persons only” area. We install and configure access control systems, intruder alarm, motion detectors, vibration sensors, electric door lock hardware, biometric access control panels, and access control servers. and CCTV systems to prevent unauthorized physical access to hardware or information.
Malware Protection
According to Symantec, cyber-attackers deployed more than 286 million malware programs, like viruses and spyware, in 2010. And the sophistication of these attacks is only growing. To protect from malware attacks, small businesses need to ensure all their PCs and servers have a comprehensive, up-to-date cyber-security program.
Firewall Protection
Firewalls will scan all inbound and outbound communications to ensure information being sent through them complies with security specifications. All systems should have a software firewall running at all times. Some operating systems include built-in firewall protection, but often, additional third-party products are required to provide optimum protection.
Data Backup
Any loss of data, whether it’s a hack, stolen device or equipment failure, can have a huge negative impact on your business. You can avoid the harmful effects of a data loss by backing up your computers and servers. Services are available to back computers up to the cloud automatically, or companies can install backup programs through different software providers.
Encryption
Small businesses should protect their data with an encryption program, which uses algorithms to encrypt data when it’s saved or stored, preventing users from accessing it unless they have a password or other required authentication. With encryption, your information is safe, even if the device or file falls into the wrong hands.
Employee Education
In many cases, devastating, network-wide cyber-attacks start from a single source — like an employee clicking on a suspicious link in a phishing email. Every business should train employees not to open any suspicious messages, to take care to lock computers and other devices and to complete antivirus updates as instructed.
