Network Security

Viruses, worms, Trojans, spam, spyware, malware, phishing, intruders—they not only hurt your technology, they hurt your bottom line. Unfortunately, without proper security for your network and systems, you are at risk, and potentially being attacked without even knowing it.

It is critical that your business takes a pro-active stance toward security. Fortunately, IT Professional Services can help you get and maintain the level of security you need to keep your business network safe.

Is having only a firewall enough?

One of the most common network security precautions is a firewall.

A firewall controls access to your network at the perimeter where it connects to the Internet. The firewall allows the general public to access specific parts of your network—for example, an e-mail server—but blocks all other access.

Firewalls are as necessary as the locks on your doors. However, they are not the only security your network requires. Hackers constantly update their tools and skills to exploit weaknesses in security mechanisms. You need to be equally persistent in protecting your network.

IT Professional Services recommends a layered approach to securing networks. One of the critical layers is a network gateway that provides a Unified Threat Management (UTM) approach to securing networks. A UTM gateway is more than just a firewall, it provides intelligent, real-time network protection against sophisticated application-layer and content-based attacks.

Our partnerships and certifications with Microsoft, Cisco, Untangle, SonicWALL, Symantec, and McAfee allow us to constantly be on top of the latest and most critical security alerts, preventative measures, and knowledge.
