Network Security

For most small businesses and medium sized companies, your security strategy may have consisted of a network firewall and some anti-virus software (that might even be currently outdated). While that may have been suitable years ago, we highly recommend a network security strategy from your IT support in Dallas that is multi-layered with various backup plans. All companies are connected to the Internet and that alone makes you vulnerable for computer hackers and password crackers, network attacks, malware downloads from unscrupulous websites, as well as using insecure browsing and viruses sent via email.
Things to consider when looking at Network Security software for your business:

Blocking and restricting behaviors in real-time
Alerting you in real-time when high security filters are violated
Locking down user computers when specific behaviors occur
Blocking common chat messengers often used for data leaks
Observing and reacting to file activity on portable external and thumb drives
Using high customizable behavior filters that can be applied to your entire network, or specific computers

Network Security increases your team's productivity:

Blocking unwanted and inappropriate web content
Blocking unwanted and inappropriate program usage
Blocking popular chat messengers
Alerting users when they violate behavior filters
Logs only behaviors that are unwanted and should not be performed by users

Network Security saves you money and adds to your bottom line:

Keeping users on task and productive
Allowing you to track the bad things you do not want to happen on your network
Removing the need for searching through endless activity logs for a few inappropriate/unwanted actions
Secures assets and prevents data theft on your network
Removes the need for exhaustive investigations for possibly troublesome employees
