Top 10 Security Threats
    Low Tech Security Tips
 


Network Security has become one of the primary technology concerns in business today. Evron's integrated multi-layered, solutions complement and reinforce each other to keep your business running smoothly.


As with most technology requirements, it is impossible to cover all of your organizational needs with a single machine or program. By the same token, haphazardly bolting together a number of unrelated solutions leaves cracks that only get bigger as time goes on. What's required is an multi-layered, company-wide approach in which integrated products complement and reinforce each other:

Multilayered Security

1] Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS): This is the first level of protection against remote intruders. NIDS monitor all the communications that come in to and stop those that look suspicious. This prevents hackers from overloading your server with Denial of Server (DOS) attacks and scanning your ports for vulnerabilities.

2] Firewall: Only legitimate communications (e.g. email, password certified remote users) are permitted to go through the firewall. This prevents unauthorized users from logging into or using your network.

3a] Email Scanning: While an email is technically an authorized form of communication, it may contain objectionable content (pornography, confidential information, overly large files, etc.). This software scans the contents of the email and rejects those that violate your company policies.Top | Find Out More...

3b] Internet Security: Similar to email, a web site is technically an authorized form of communication. However only certain web sites and downloads are appropriate for the workplace. This software uses internal criteria to limit the sites that can be visited, and scans what is downloaded. Top | Find Out More...

4] Server Level Virus Scanning: A strong anti-virus program with updated signature files checks for viruses on every file that is saved to the server and protects against them. This is particularly important for email severs, such as those running MS Exchange. Top | Find Out More...

5] Workstation Virus Scanning: Not every file is saved on the server. Files from a number of sources - including those from infected floppy disks or downloaded off the internet - are put directly on the local workstation, which therefore requires it's own Anti-Virus software.

6] Updated Communication Software: From time to time, prospective intruders and virus writers find vulnerabilities in popular types of communication software, such as Microsoft Outlook. When those holes are discovered software fixes or "patches" are made to close the vulnerabilities. It is therefore necessary to be diligent about being aware of these updates and applying them to the software.

7] THE BEST DEFENSE - Attentive Employees and Corporate Policies: We can implement many effective technological solutions, but the most essential piece of a secure business is a company of people who understand the various dangers and the role they play in preventing them. One regularly quoted statistic is that 80% of security breaches come from inside the company. Strong security requires strong corporate policies, clear management dedication, and good employee education about risks. Evron consultants can help you construct these policies according to the needs of your business.
