Are you secure? It’s not actually possible to provide a definitive answer to that question. Rather you need to rephrase the question as “How secure are you?”  Security breaches have adverse effects not only on your finances, but also on your reputation. A bad security incident can endanger your business.

Security is like an onion; it’s built layer upon layer. MIS Alliance understands that you need to implement security at the appropriate layers of your network, and that it should be done to sufficiently protect you against various threats without bringing your network to a grinding halt. In addition, because the nature of threats changes daily, it’s necessary to maintain constant vigilance on the security situation and make both proactive and reactive changes.

MIS Alliance’s security specialists will work with you to audit and assess your current security level to protect your network against various threats, including:

• Spyware and other malicious content downloaded from Web sites
• Viruses, Trojans or other “malware” received by e-mail
• Spam, resulting in both lost productivity and the installation of malicious content
• Unauthorized access, whether from the Internet (hackers or former employees) or internally (current employees)
• Inappropriate content from Web sites, whose access can have legal ramifications for your organization
• Servers, workstations or appliances without the latest security patches, which may result in total network downtime if they are infected by hackers who look for software vulnerabilities
• Password policies, to ensure sensitive accounts and information are only accessed by authorized personnel
• Acceptable use policies, to provide guidelines to your employees on the appropriate use of your valuable IT resources
