Network security : what we really mean is security, isn't it?

Security, at large, is important to every business, and network security becomes an ever more attention grabbing headline every month. With television shows about “hustlers” and “scam artists” more frequently aired, although making people aware of the threats, also makes hackers more savvy to the idea. There is also the possibility for loss of network elements, i.e. data disks, laptops, etc. it’s not an uncommon occurrence…how secure would your lost information be?

This doesn’t even consider the anticipated rise in burglaries in the face of economic slow down. Based on models from the last recession of 1991-92, “theft and burglaries could rise by up to 7 per cent this year and 2 per cent in 2009”, (Times Online, 01/09/08). “Our modelling indicates that an economic downturn would place a significant upward pressure on acquisitive crime and therefore on overall crime figures,” Home Secretary, Ms Jacky Smith says.

You need your business to be secure at every level. But where and how do you start to create an effective “network security” solution? We can provide a solution that considers all elements of your network’s security, down to physical locks on doors and backup for your vital data.

Our approach considers your network at large, not the individual elements that make up your network. From here, we break it down to ensure that your solution complements your existing infrastructure, yet secures the entire arrangement. We look at your:

  • security policy
  • organisational information security
  • asset management
  • human resources security
  • physical and environmental security
  • communications and operations management
  • access control
  • security requirement for information systems
  • information security incident management
