How To Keep Your Company Data Safe and Secure
Your computer network is a system of interconnected computers. The basic idea of networks is to allow people to share data between different devices and to allow remote access to geographically distant resources without having to be physically present. This is achieved by transmitting data seamlessly between two or more interconnected devices.
Because their very purpose is to facilitate access to systems and information, networks are by nature, very vulnerable to intrusion. Without networks, physical access to a system or device would be the only way for a hacker to gain any kind of access to your data. But with networks, that same hacker can access most any networked device from the comfort of their couch. This is where network security becomes a virtual necessity for businesses of any size that utilize networks in their operations.
Some companies handle network security through on site measures while others outsource it to managed IT consultants. Outsourcing is a better measure as the IT consultants usually provide continuous and proactive monitoring as opposed to waiting for a problem to occur before taking action when your data may already be lost, stolen or otherwise compromised. Every day, new threats and viruses, are generated and professional managed IT consultants are up to date on the latest network protections. Managed IT services companies offer a high degree of proactive protection from all kinds of security threats.
