Policies and Guidelines

Networks can be a source of trouble unless there is a roadmap for people to follow.

A well-developed set of policies and guidelines can assure that additions and changes will not harm either the network itself or result in a security breach. Wildcat changes by untrained departmental employees can inadvertently expose the entire organization to invasion by hostile forces, be they crackers or the competition.

For instance, a well-meaning employee may install a simple wireless access point for his department. Without proper security, someone sitting in a car outside the building my be able to invade your entire system using just a laptop computer equipped with a WiFi card.

Enforceable policies can spell out the steps necessary for making changes and can mandate the coordination necessary with your network team to avoid such problems.

A set of guidelines can also provide a roadmap for organizing the network and its growth for maximum efficiency.

Security

Any invasion of your network can expose your entire organization to vandalism, theft, and espionage. Invaders can sneak in through a rogue wireless access point, via the Internet, or by hacking an employee working from home.  One of the popular methods is "social engineering" where the cracker fools an employee into doing something that gives him access.

All of these problems can be overcome.

Our security experts can help you button up your network and procedures to block invaders before they can do any damage.

Wireless Networks

Wireless computer networks are considerably less costly to install and make redeployment a snap. Properly done, a wireless network works as well or better than a wired configuration and can be just as secure.

Wireless networks can be used to "wire" a building, connect several buildings together, bridge the gap between campuses, or connect cities. All this without having to dig expensive trenches or hang miles of wire or fiber. Temporary networks and Internet access for special events are innexpensive and quickly installed.

Wireless cameras make installing security monitors a snap.

Our experts have experience with the latest equipment and procedures. We can create networks of any size with "5 nines" (99.999%) of reliability.
