The Right protection
There are three ways in which you can protect your I.T. infrastructure:

1. Firewall – “Your vanguard in defence”.

What is it?
A firewall is a piece of hardware or software that literally puts a barrier between your network and the Internet. By installing a firewall, you can help to avert unauthorised entry into your system. A firewall blocks data and ensures that users do not visit website that can put you at risk. When configured and updated, it will do a very good job, although a firewall cannot stop viruses and is not 100% effective.

2. Viruses - Click here to find out more about anti virus and anti spam
Anti-Virus software should be installed on your system and, since new viruses are created daily, it is necessary that the latest update is installed to afford complete protection.

The DTI has identified that more than a third of businesses do not backup automatically with nearly 20% updating on a monthly, quarterly or even annual basis!

3. Spam - Click here to find out more about anti virus and anti spam
Email is an instant and convenient method of communication but it also brings with it the problem of spam. According to SoftScan, unwanted email accounted for 87.09% of email traffic in January 2006!

With the help of Postini, Netstar stop around 10,000 unsolicited emails every day; avoiding the slowing down of your system and wasting of employees’ time.
