There are several different types of IT security. These typically fall into three different categories, including:
- Internet/Network Security (for accessing internal and external resources using LAN or WAN)
- Cloud Security (for applications or services hosted within the cloud)
- Endpoint Security (for devices such as Laptops, Phones, etc.)
Securing remote workers. With flexible working excepted by today’s employees, protecting the devices they use when they are away from your corporate IT network is crucial. Data encryption IT Security solutions ensure that any data stored on a device – including email data and data that synchronises to the Cloud – is unreachable by a potential attacker.
Network Security. The IT network is the lifeblood of any business and the main form of connection to the outside world. With more business systems hosting their data online, cloud security is vital. The need for a secure and stable internet connection through Unified Threat Management (UTM) devices is crucial. Sonic Wall and Sophos XG are just two of the industry-leading next-generation hardware firewall solutions Agile Technical Solutions deploys.
Unified Threat Management. Unified Threat Management devices (UTM) and Malware endpoint anti-virus protection solutions are effective IT security solutions used to combat Encrypto viruses and Ransomware. Essentially, UTM devices bring all your network IT security features into one place. As well as a firewall, VPS and IPS, a UTM will support network or cloud-based threat management.
Web Filtering. As a proactive IT security tool, SPAM filtering systems are a very effective cyber security option. After all, SPAM is often the starting point for cyber-crime. Best practice is to have a SPAM filtering product with an Advanced Threat Management (ATP) add-on. This is something that is still a relatively new product in the IT security threat management marketplace, which very few SPAM filtering systems currently look at. This helps to reduce the threats specific to staff members being targeted for money transfer fraud and email spoofing and is something that Agile Technical Solutions has a vast amount of knowledge on.
