Computer and network security is a pressing concern for many businesses, who want to ensure their data, devices, and network are all protected. If you’re among the businesses deciding to improve their security measures, Orion Networks is here for you. We offer a wide variety of computer and network security services to address modern problems and find solutions that are custom-tailored to suit your business’s needs.
Are Computer and Network Security Services Necessary for Businesses?
There is ample data to suggest that cybercrime not only has a significant presence in the world at large but that it is growing. Each year, cybercrime will cost over $3.5 billion in the US alone in 2019. By 2025, cybercrime is expected to cost the world $10.5 trillion. Because of this, your company simply can’t afford to be without the best possible computer and network security. You need services that will cover a wide range of threats and offer the best protection possible. Otherwise, your company’s sensitive data as well as a significant amount of funds and time may be permanently lost.
What Computer and Network Security Services Does Orion Networks Offer?
Ransomware
Ransomware is a common type of malware that, as the name suggests, takes your device and all its data for ransom until you pay a substantial amount of money. The data is encrypted using a private key, and without access to that key, it’s incredibly difficult to get the data back. Some ransomware is malicious twice over, as it asks for this sum of money but does not release your files. Others will send a fake key and require you to pay more for a key that actually works. In addition, paying this sum will require that you fund the operations of known cybercriminals, which is far from ideal.
While you might think ransomware just affects a single computer, most of the time, this is not the case. Chances are if one device was vulnerable, the entire network may have vulnerabilities that make it easy to spread. This may lead to all the devices in your company losing all of their data, which is something no organization can afford. Because of this pressing threat, you need superior computer and network security. Our services are designed to protect against the latest ransomware threats.
Firewall Management
Many companies will have multiple firewalls for increased security, especially if they have a segmented network. Segmented network firewalls are designed to, rather than protecting the company only from outside attacks, protect individual parts or segments of the network. Whether you have a segmented network or not, firewalls can sometimes be difficult to manage using company resources alone. Instead, many choose to turn to professional IT help for this service, which has many benefits.
One of the main benefits is that IT professionals will be able to set up the rules and configure the firewalls properly. Firewalls that are set up incorrectly may pose a security threat, causing your computer and network security to be less secure than it would be otherwise. In addition, IT professionals will be able to monitor firewall activity to check for critical vulnerabilities that may make your firewalls less effective. Our Tech Support are specifically designed to make your firewalls as secure as possible, protecting your organization’s critical data.
End-User Training
You may think that data breaches are only caused by outside attacks or fraudulent insiders, but this is not always the case. Some data breaches and other security threats are caused simply by a lack of employee training. Without this training, employees may accidentally download malware that infects an entire network, for example. Other employees may incorrectly handle data and cause a data breach, which can affect sensitive company data as well as client privacy. Our end-user training is designed to give employees a comprehensive understanding of computer and network security best practices so they don’t accidentally put company security at risk.
Endpoint Protection
When it comes to company security, individual devices need to be protected as well as the network. Otherwise, they may be vulnerable to malware and other threats. We include endpoint protection as part of our computer and network security services to provide a wide scope of protection for devices that go beyond just antivirus software. Each device will have its own data and files protected and safely out of the hands of cybercriminals.
Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Assessments
When it comes to security, you don’t want to take a purely reactive approach. By the time you catch security threats, criminals may have already gotten hold of sensitive data which may leak in a breach or be used for fraudulent purposes. Instead, you need to take a proactive approach through penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.
Penetration testing is designed to simulate a cyberattack, testing methods that criminals may use to hack into your network. This will allow you to gauge any significant security issues that could pose a problem in the future. Vulnerability assessments will scan for any significant computer and network security weak points. Both of these approaches remove threats before they become a problem for your organization in the future. Our penetration testing and vulnerability assessments can provide peace of mind that your devices and data are secure not only now, but in the future as well.
