Web Security: a world of constant change
Exploiting users and systems by using viruses, malware, spyware, and scareware has become a multibillion dollar business. It has grown to the point that it provides a major source of income for a multitude of illegal scams and world wide crime organizations. Unquestionably, the most common way a virus is introduced to a network is via an already infected website. Email is also an area that can lead to an infection and unfortunately most users aren't aware when a contamination has occurred. Often the problem starts with spyware or malware and eventually leads to an exploitation of a system, or group of systems.
Proper security management is not a single product; or even a few products. A proper security implementation has multiple levels and multiple technologies in order to ensure the proper level of threat mitigation.
As a result, JMARK has partnered with market leaders to protect our clients from these threats. This starts at the network edge with a Cisco ASA Firewall. This industry rated and award winning firewall is the first wall to reduce the traffic into a network and allow only the data that is intended to come into a business.
The next level is a content management system from Untangle. This solution thoroughly evaluates each page viewed by the network user to make sure it is safe using its ability to allow or deny sites based on name, IP address or content type.
Another key component to proper network security is obviously the virus software. While JMARK supports most anti-virus software platforms, we have had the most success with products from ESET, Trend Micro and Sophos. Proper network and workstation configuration, as well as user education are also key components to reduce the likelihood that a business will be compromised. Proper email management has also become a mandatory component of proper network management. Spam and viruses are not only security threats but are also time thieves and productivity killers. JMARK utilizes multiple solutions for proper email management depending on the specific needs of our clients.
The ultimate way to get the most of these technologies is to have the tools and means to monitor and respond to threats as they are warranted. JMARK’s Network Care and Monitoring Solutions, tie all of these technologies together to deliver a full, secure and bundled solution that has real-time protection against the ever changing world of security management.
