Network Security

Network security boils down to two key issues: protecting your physical computer assets and protecting your business data. What you protect your equipment and data from will very much depend on your office environment.

Larger companies often operate from their own buildings or occupy entire floors in leased space so it is easy for them to lock away their most valuable equipment. Small businesses, however, often do not have the financial resources to house their servers in restricted areas. Hence, physical security of their equipment takes a complete different approach.

Through our extensive knowledge of leading suppliers and their products, Parador Consulting can offer the perfect solution to ensure the safety of your hardware: from single server cabinets to heavy-duty modular enclosures for data centre co-location purposes.

For customers who only require data protection measures, we can offer (i) firewall and anti-virus solutions to protect your computers from Internet and email-based attacks, or (ii) simple but very effective solutions based on proper configuration of the security features built in your Microsoft operating systems to restrict access to certain areas of your network (for example the accounts data or your personnel files).

We can also advice on measures to encrypt your confidential emails as well as how to secure areas of your internet web site.

Please contact us if you would like more information on the subject of network security.
