We're Safe - We Have a Firewall

Most firewalls simply block traffic to unauthorized network services.  

However it is the authorized services which often remain vulnerable to attacks -- at the application level (e.g. Nimda).

Daytro Computer Consulting can help with proper firewall configuration and  on-going monitoring and installation of  the latest operating system patches and other hacker-blocking techniques!

 


En Guarde!

These days, it seems there is a new virus or operating system vulnerability exposed on a daily basis.

Even vigilant IT managers who installed security patches to MS-Outlook and MS-Exchange were still caught off-guard by NIMDA virus attacks on their IIS web servers.  With possible denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and other application level threats lurking, a properly configured firewall is now only the 1st line of defense.

In addition, it may no longer be enough simply to restrict access to sensitive data using basic network access restrictions.  Passwords are often too easy to come by and desktop workstations are routinely left logged on.  Deployment of email and data encryption using public/private key software linked to smart-cards or biometric password access systems is becoming the order of the day.

Daytro can further your companies security efforts by providing a range of IT security solutions:

  • Firewalls: We can install and properly configure packet-filtering firewalls (Cisco, CheckPoint, etc.).
  • Enterprise Anti Virus:  Delete and/or quarantine rogue email attachments - preventing them from reaching your users (eliminate the #1 source of virus infection!)
  • Web Traffic Filtering & Monitoring: Daytro can install tools which allow you to monitor, block and/or restrict employee access to web sites or specific web protocols.
  • Encryption: Daytro can install and train users on the use of secure (encrypted) email and encrypted file-system storage for sensitive data.  We can also aid in deployment of  high-profile secure access methods (such as smart-card and fingerprint readers).
  • Secure Remote Access: PPTP and IPSEC VPNs, SSL enabled web email gateway, etc.
  • Server Maintenance: Customers who have desktop and server platform maintenance contracts with Daytro Solutions gain the assurance that operating system security patches are applied on an on-going, proactive basis -- and even more importantly -- that an image backup of the server is available for roll-back purposes in case of a successful virus attack.

Trust Daytro Computer Consulting to improve your resistance and lock down your secure data!
