You wouldn’t dream of going on vacation and leaving your front door open. Why would you consider leaving your critical IT infrastructure “unlocked” and vulnerable to outside (and unfortunately sometimes inside) threats?
Even the most sophisticated business network can be vulnerable to malicious attacks, hackers, viruses and even corporate thieves. Securing your software and hardware – not just today but into tomorrow- is essential. Securing it properly takes the right tools customized to your specific business needs.
Starting with a thorough security audit, NuOz will scrutinize your entire IT infrastructure to see what you should do to prevent hackers from penetrating your network. We can implement integrated, layered levels of security including infrastructure maintenance and automatic security updates to make sure your network is running with the optimum security protection.
Desktops, file servers, mail servers and even smart phones need to be protected to block attacks. You also need to be alerted swiftly to problems so you can act quickly since sophisticated hackers and viruses can stop your business for hours or even days.
Even internal security risks can lead to lost data, disabled workstations and networks. As you weight your many security options, think about implementing these simple office tips:
- Ask employees to use “strong” passwords, to change them regularly and not to share them with other employees. Ideal passwords contain a mix of numbers and letters
- Encrypt sensitive information
- Back up regularly – onsite and offsite
- Don’t forget about mobile devices when implementing security tools
- Test to make sure your data can be recovered quickly if needed
- Instruct employees to avoid suspicious websites
- Keep financial and customer data on a private network separated from other activities

We offer a variety of cost-effective virus protection tools to help you avoid business interruptions and accompanying financial loss. Our always-on, current solutions provide total, integrated security for small and medium-sized businesses.
Managed firewalls are critical protective layers between your system and the Internet. Typical firewalls are basic gateway devices installed between modems and the network switch that provides your Internet access.
Firewalls can help mitigate the risk of disruption to your IT infrastructure from damaging viruses and annoying spyware. They screen requests, ensuring they’re coming from approved domain names or IP addresses. Firewalls can even be installed inside your network to stop one department from accessing another’s data.
The appropriate firewall solution will depend on the amount of traffic flowing across your gateway. We’ll help you decide what type of firewall is best for your particular business based on your size, industry and other key factors.
“Junk mail” continues to be a major problem, not only wasting employee time but also possibly containing offensive or even harmful material. We can protect your network by blocking spam, thereby increasing employee productivity and reducing business disruption.
