Data Security…Where do I start?

Have you ever asked yourself the question “Where do I start?” with regards to securing your business data and network?

Well, it has been said that all things start at the beginning…with regards to data and network security, I believe that all things start at the “Edge.” The “Edge” of the network that is.

Here at KIT Services, we believe that all security should begin at the edge of the network by utilizing a well rounded filtering device that all data coming into or leaving the network must filter through.

This device will filter all data searching for viruses, SPAM, Denial of Service Attacks, Intrusion Attempts, Web Content filtering and also acts as a router and firewall. That’s right…all of these functions and more bundled into one device that sits at the edge of your network.

Why do we put so much emphasis on the “Edge of the network?” The reason being is that the hardest part of a malware creator’s job is to get the malware program by the security defenses and on to a computer. Once they have accomplished this, the hard part is done. Now all that needs to happen is for some poor user to activate the program and the rest is history. Anything can happen after that…SPAM Bots churning out the SPAM, loss of data, poor performing PC’s…you get the idea.

Additionally, KIT Services also believes that the PC should be protected with a respectable program at the desktop and server level, such as Kaspersky.

The reason for having the edge of the network secured as well as the PC is simple. As hard as the defenders against malware work to neutralize its effect, our defenders will always be two steps behind. Defenders against malware can only combat what they see and the malware creators are VERY busy writing programs that circumvent the road blocks that our beloved defenders create.

KIT Services takes the security of your data and network very seriously. We do not believe in rolling the dice just hoping and praying that our clients do not become target.

We believe in being “Proactive” in all of our support ventures.
