Frontec has the experience and tools to properly analyze and fix any security issues.

Not only must businesses be concerned about external dangers, but also about internal dangers. Was the network setup properly, are computers being properly patched and monitored, are employees downloading dangerous material that could affect the livelihood of your business? Are their security flaws that could allow a hacker to enter the network or steal information? These are a few of the questions that businesses should be asking themselves.

Designing and implementing a security plan or assessment that provides the greatest possible response to dangers, while at the same time ensuring the most effective and efficient use of money and resources is often a major obstacle for any business. That's exactly where Frontec's Security Vulnerability Assessment can help. Frontec has the experience and tools to properly analyze and fix any security issues that may be hiding in your business. In today's world businesses must be pro-active in their security plans. Give us a call and let Frontec assess and secure your business from hazardous threats.

Anti-Virus

The most common type of security breaches are those originating from viruses and virus like programs such as Trojans. According to Forbes magazine, the average virus incident costs $153 per computer. Buying an off-the-shelf virus software is not enough to secure your company from threats.

Several factors are important when trying to protect your company against viruses. The type of software is important, centrally managed virus protection software eases administration costs. Regular virus definitions must be loaded onto each machine in your network. Someone must be monitoring the network and be able to clean out viruses when they are found. Having a software or provider such as Frontec that can remotely monitor the virus status of a network greatly shortens the response time and dangers that a virus could inflict on your network. Frontec has the experience and expertise to customize and recommend a solution to fit any network or business.

Anti-Spam

In the past spam was just an annoyance that was easily resolved by deleting the "junk" email that one received in their inbox. Now spam is a multi-faceted security risk that can cause countless security problems and thousands of dollars to fix. Spam can be the catalyst to viruses, Trojans, phishing, security holes, and hackers. Spam can result in having ones identity stolen and having confidential and private personal and business information stolen. Government laws have been enacted to stop spammers, though helpful, the number of spammers still increases everyday.

Businesses must have software and policies in-place to control the level of spam that enters their network. Users need to know what to avoid and computers need to be monitored and updated regularly with spam definitions.

Frontec has been around since the time that Spam was only known as a porky substance in a can. We have seen its proliferation and know how to combat it in an efficient and cost effective way.

Patch Management

In January of 2003, the worm known as the Slammer worm slowed Internet traffic all over the world and caused considerable problems for many companies. Six months earlier, in July of 2002, Microsoft had identified the problem and released a patch to fix the vulnerability.

Frontec has the experience and special patch monitoring solutions.

Patches were also already available to repair the vulnerabilities attacked by MyDoom, and other variants in January of 2004. This was a devastating attack for many organizations around the world.

Whatever the threat, if a business is unprepared to meet this threat, then they should expect high tangible costs to haunt them. Un-patched threats left open by software are not something to take lightly. These threats can cripple a business, they can take down your databases, allow hackers to access customer information, even worse they can cause your customers, vendors and partners to feel the pain in terms of late orders, slow response, and high product costs.

In order to protect against these software "holes" patch management must be in place. Patch management is the process of reviewing, assessing the risk and proliferation of patches and security fixes throughout your network. As networks become more complex with multitudes of software programs and protocols, this process of patch management can be very difficult.

Fortunately Frontec has the experience and special patch monitoring solutions that can automate the difficult process of patch management. We take a systematic approach, not going to one extreme or the other but making sure that the solution fits with your network, software and budget.
