Connecting a computer to a network such as the Internet makes it potentially accessible to everyone on the network (Internet), thereby dramatically the susceptibility to attack.

Securing your computer systems involves

• The security of the software and hardware
• The reliability of the procedures for using and managing the system
• The trustworthiness of the people who use and manage it

The whole idea of security is tied to who can have access to what from where.

How do you view security?

What do you see as acceptable risk?

We ask these questions in order to help us and you understand what security issues might threaten your organisation. This is key to building a network that is secure yet enables you to fully maximise your IT investment to support and develop your business.

After discussing and agreeing your needs Saqqara can then carry out a Network Security Audit in order to identify your risks and vulnerability. It may be that you need advice to decide whether proposed projects will conflict with your current security policies and practices. Or perhaps your security policy needs adapting following company restructuring.

The results of the security audit will enable us to successfully determine your particular requirements and advise accordingly.

The most important and effective way to minimise risks to your security is to install a network security device, a firewall.

A firewall is simply a group of components that collectively form a barrier between two networks; your own network and the Internet.

A good firewall provides the first line of defence against hackers and a solid foundation for your antivirus protection. In order to maximise the benefits however it is critical that any firewall installed is correctly specified and fully configured to suit your requirements.

Our highly skilled Saqqara Security Team can advise and implement the right solution for your business.
