Security - big word, bigger worry
Perhaps no issue raises more concern or more misconception among business people than security. Terms like firewall, authentication, encryption, biometrics and others get tossed around, and pretty soon you can become overwhelmed with the sheer number of variables involved in securing a business computer network. Let Lamm Technical Resources help you find the proper level of security for your business and your data, and then design and implement an affordable solution to provide it.
Keep outsiders out
The first line of defense against intruders is a properly configured security appliance. More than just a firewall, today's unified threat management appliances not only prevent hackers from accessing your private data, they also screen for viruses and spyware at the very edge of your network - where it connects to the internet. Not only does this provide a wall between your data and the world, it can also provide a secure way for road warriors and branch offices to access the data they need, while keeping everyone else out.
Keep insiders where they belong
Ironically, most big data breaches occur from the inside, either accidentally or as a deliberate act of theft or sabotage. Make sure that the people on your network can only reach the data they need to, and that confidential information remains out of reach from those that have no need to access it. And keep track of the "who, what, when, where, why and how" on your network. Know who is doing what, when they're doing it and why, so you can find and stop potential problems before they occur.

Viruses, spyware and spam are more than a nuisance
They are potential security holes that can expose your business data, or even your clients' confidential identify information, to those who would steal it. A layered approach to security, combining gateway security with network malware protection is the best way to protect yourself from costly infections and even more costly data breaches.
It's more than a privacy issue
If your business is subject to regulations such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley or others, security breaches can be much more than just an embarrassment. They can be expensive events, whether it's the cost of notifying clients of lost data or fines from regulatory agencies. Don't take chances with your financial future. Let the experts at Lamm Technical Resources help secure your network - and your business - from internal and external threats.
Security. It's peace of mind for you and your clients.
