Next Horizon is your resource
for network
security In the Central Florida
area. Everyone
uses computers for everything, just imagine if you didn't have
one or if you didn't have control over the one you have.
Although you may not consider anything you have to be "top
secret," but most likely you do not want strangers reading
your email, using your computer to cause malicious activity on other
systems, sending Spam from your computer, or looking, deleting,
or changing personal information stored on your computer or your
computer network.
Security is concerned with three main areas:
-
Confidentiality
- information should be available only to those who rightfully
have access to it
- Integrity -- information should
be modified only by those who are authorized to do so
-
Availability
-- information should be accessible to those who need it when
they need it
 Some security risks arise from intentional
misuse of your computer by intruders via the Internet. Others
are risks that you would face even if you weren't connected
to the Internet (e.g. hard disk failures, theft, power outages,
and internal abuse).
What is computer
security?
Computer security is the process of preventing and
detecting unauthorized use of your computer and/or Network resources.
Prevention measures help you to stop unauthorized users from accessing
any part of your enterprise network. Detection helps you to determine
whether or not someone attempted to break into your network, if
they were successful, and what they may have done.
What Can Next Horizon do for my company?
Two simple words: Risk Management
Risk Management
It's very important to understand that in security,
one simply cannot say ``what's the best firewall or I want to
be
100% secure!'' There are two extremes 100% security and 100% access.
The closest we can get to a 100% secure machine is to unplug from
the network, and lock it in a safe. A machine with 100% access
is extremely convenient to use: it's simply there and will do
whatever
you tell it with no authorization or passwords.
Next Horizon will
analyze your business as well as your business needs. During
this process we will conduct many security audits.
Once we analyze your business and gather the information from
the security audits, Next
Horizon will present you with options
to clear up and secure your network. All of the options can
be added and done all at one time or you may prefer a deadline
for a slow transition. Either way Next
Horizon will make your
security efforts, effortless. If your company is concerned
about security and you are in the Central Florida or Orlando
Area
give Next
Horizon a call for all of your Orlando
computer networking needs. Contact us
