Network Security Services

Network security is an essential piece of any IT strategy an organization develops. By now, everyone is familiar with the terms. Scammers. Hackers. Phishers. Malware. Ransomware. Spoofers. Writers of malicious code. And the list goes on. While you’re building your business, these malevolent actors are busily finding ways to wreck it. They’re one of the reasons we can’t have nice things. And worst of all, they never stop-- the threat is constant.

Fortunately, we at FullScope IT never stop either.

What Are Network Security Services?

You know the old adage about a chain: “It’s only as strong as its weakest link.” The same holds true for computer networks: they’re only as strong as their most vulnerable point. In today’s hyper-connected world, there are numerous opportunities for someone to exploit any vulnerabilities they can find for maximum damage and ill-gotten gains.

From viruses and ransomware to Trojan horses and cyber-attacks, these destructive incursions into an organizations computer network can wreak havoc on valuable processes and even bring productivity to a grinding halt.

Good network security services, then, should be designed to provide the right tools and best practices to anticipate, monitor, and prevent any unauthorized access to, misuse of, and modification or theft of privileged data and resources residing on that network.

Network Security Q & A's

• What are some different types of network security?

  There are many different network security protections that companies use: firewalls, access control, remote access VPN, network segmentation, email security, sandboxing, cloud service security, and Intrusion Prevention Systems. All these aspects of network security keep your company protected from various different threats and cyberattacks.

• Are Network Security threats on the rise?

  Yes. The last several years have seen increases in several specific types of attacks. Ransomware attacks and DDoS attacks are both on the rise. As more businesses use the Internet for the bulk of their work, the more value cybercriminals see in attempted hacks, breaches and other attacks.

• What businesses are most at risk for a cyberattack?

  One might expect large corporations to be at the most risk for cyberattacks since they house the most sensitive data in most cases. However, small and medium-sized businesses find themselves at greatest risk of being targeted. Attackers know many smaller businesses have fewer resources to fight successful breaches and attacks and will target them because of this fact. Large businesses are a difficult target, but a less well protected company is seen a a "fish in a barrel" situation for bad actors. Having appropriately tight security for your networks also makes you a less inviting target.

• When should cybersecurity be considered when planning your IT infrastructure?

  Network security should be considered from the very beginning of any managed IT services plan. You need to consider cybersecurity in every aspect of your IT planning. You must be proactive about network security and consider it before threats turn into serious problems for your organization.

• What are some of the worst costs of a cyberattack?

  Some of the worst costs of a successful cyberattack on a company could be lost revenue, lost customer and client trust, the exposing of sensitive data, costly downtime, and severely reduced productivity. Failing to prevent an attack can do serious damage to a company and should be avoided at all costs.

• What are some of the most common cybersecurity risks currently facing small and medium-sized businesses?

  Phishing and ransomware attacks are some of the most common attacks that small businesses struggle with on a regular basis.

• How can I prevent phishing?

  Ensure all employees and executives in your organization are fully educated on best practices regarding online risk and current phishing practices. Good email security and network monitoring can help filter out phishing attempts, but human error is still the greatest risk factor.

• What is ransomware and what should I do to stop it?

  Ransomware is a type of malware that locks down a system and its functions and asks the user to pay for it to be unlocked and reinstated. Remaining proactive in your security and having robust systems in place to stop any ransomware from getting through is the best approach. You must stop it in its tracks before it can affect you.
