What is Network Security?
Network Security is a broad term that can be used to describe many methods for keeping your computer network safe and secure. From antivirus software and email protection to customized firewalls and even specific hardware, a comprehensive network security solution is a must-have for businesses of all sizes. Network security protects your data, devices, and applications from outside threats as well as unsafe actions—intentional or not— by your employees.
Cyber threats are everywhere, and ever-changing. A solid network security plan helps your company monitor users, filter traffic, and anticipate your digital vulnerabilities. And since the online environment changes by the minute, your network security plan must be one step ahead at all times.
How can Network Security help my business?
Think of your company’s Network Security plan as the front door to your home. You don’t just leave it wide open for anyone to come in without first knowing who they are, what they’re doing there, and why. The same goes for your network traffic. Through customized firewall protection, CloudSmart IT can help you secure your network, control your network traffic, and control what content gets through your “front door.”
A CloudSmart IT firewall can help you filter content so your employees stay on task at work, stay safe online, and keep you in HR compliance. We can customize your filter to block any kind of website or online app, including:
- Banking and Financial Services
- Computer Games
- Criminal Activity
- Dating Sites and Apps
- Extreme Political Sites / Hate / Discrimination Speech
- Illegal Activities
- Newsgroups and Bulletin Boards
- Online Gambling
- Online Shopping, Auctions, and Classified Ads
- Suspicious Websites
- Outside Chats
- Pornography
- SMS / Mobile Phone Accessories
- Spam
- Sports
- Streaming Cinema and TV
- Warez / Hacking / Illegal Software
