Security- How it Works!

Last week we focused on Shadow Protect, what is was and how it worked; this week we will be week 4 of our 7 week services showcase and we are going to look at security and why it is so vital to your company. Today we will be letting you know how it works!

The definition of IT security is “the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and to the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.” Businesses need to have preventative care much like flossing your teeth or going to the doctor for an annual checkup; the same applies to your IT Security. If you have a free security service downloaded from the internet it is guaranteed to be less effective than having a IT professional come in and install their security measures. IT Security ranges from having antivirus in place, installing a firewall allowing certain sites through but not others, putting in web filters to keep employees from venturing to sites that are known to have threats on them to making sure your patches are up to date. Think of your IT Security as a big ticking clock, if one small part is neglected, the whole thing can stop.

Here at Kitsap Networking Services we have a Managed Services Software that allows us to put in place precautions and security settings that will keep your business safe. We are working to protect your company, plain and simple. We hope you found this useful, please contact us if you want to know what types of security we can implement in your office.
