CamQuest's Digital Defense Strategy
Today, threats to your digital systems come in many forms. Hackers, worms, trojans, and viruses all threaten to slow-down or disable your systems. Add to this an increasing number of mal-ware and spy-ware applications that do everything from capture your keystrokes to fill your screen with unwanted pop-up advertisements. It is now possible to become infected with mal-ware simply by clicking on a link in a search engine that takes you to a seemingly useful site. In the time it takes to load the page, mal-ware applications can be installed on your computer in the background.
To stop all of these threats and keep your workstations and servers humming along as efficiently as possible, CamQuest Systems recommends a four-layered defense strategy. Security professionals use a lot of fancy terminology to explain the need for “defense in depth” or “taking a layered approach”, CamQuest is no different, except that we are going to lay it out plain and simple, exactly how we do it.
First, build a strong defense at your network perimeter in the form of a managed firewall solution. Second, keep your servers and workstations up to date with the latest security patches. Third, implement an anti-virus solution that scans files on your workstations, servers, and email attachments. Your anti-virus solution should get automatic virus signature updates daily. Lastly, perform regularly scheduled scans for mal-ware on your systems.
Here is more about the 4-layers to our digital defense strategy:
- Managed Firewall Solution
Secure your Internet Perimeter with our managed firewall solution. CamQuest can seamlessly integrate a state of the art firewall that will stop threats before they get inside your network. We also provide you with reports that detail your firewall activity. Reports include blocked attempts at scanning and entering your network, as well as detailing how your employees are using the Internet.
- Security Patch Management
Every month, new vulnerabilities are discovered and along with them come the critical security patches that must be applied to all affected systems. Let CamQuest keep you up to date so that when the next Blaster or SoBig worm is released, you’ll only hear about it from colleagues. And please, when you do, recommend CamQuest systems to them so that they too will be protected the next time around.
- Anti-virus Solution
Let CamQuest Systems implement a complete end-to-end anti-virus solution to protect your files and email. We will implement an anti-virus strategy that protects your servers, workstations, and email from viruses. Your systems will be updated with the latest anti-virus signatures every 24 hours.
- Malware Detection and Removal
Mal-ware is fast becoming one of the biggest nuisances on the Internet. Simply clicking on the links given to you by trusted search engines can result in multiple malicious applications (Malware) being installed on your computer. Some of these programs capture your keystrokes to send credit card and password information back to the programs creators, others watch where you go on the Internet and launch advertising pop-up banners based on your activity. Let CamQuest technicians come out regularly as part of our 4-layered defense strategy to clean mal-ware from your systems. You’ll be amazed at how much better your computers will run after they’ve been cleaned by our technicians.
