Security
With companies becoming increasingly reliant on technology in order to function efficiently, the volume of confidential and sensitive information stored and transferred in a digital manner is rising exponentially each year.
In line with this trend a new generation of criminal activity has come to the fore, seeking to get its hands on trade-secrets and other confidential information and ultimately, market that information to the highest bidder.
Any modern security strategy should therefore centre heavily on securing electronic data and aim to implement multiple tiers of protection for the business.
The challenge for most organisations is that implementing a sound digital security strategy generally entails a dedicated budget, a team of support engineers and often, a great deal of capital expenditure.
By approaching security as a managed service however, customers are able to sidestep these challenges and focus on their core business.
Altech Technology Concepts’ security services are one of the most popular choices in this regard since they’re both comprehensive in nature and cost-effective to make use of.
The services contained in this portfolio not only safeguard the perimeter of a customer’s network from harm, but also monitor the core of the network for threats, eliminating malware and unsolicited communication from the organisation’s IT environment as they are detected.
In protecting the perimeter of its customers’ networks, Altech Technology Concepts employs a range of Firewall devices from FortiNet.
These devices are placed at the gateway between customers’ corporate networks and the Internet, acting as a proverbial gatekeeper.
FortiNet’s hardware when combined with the focused, highly-technical skills resident within Altech Technology Concepts’ ranks results in a service that cost-effectively and comprehensively protects against network, content, and application-centric threats without degrading network availability, performance or uptime.
Adding another vital layer to this, Altech Technology Concepts’ security team also proactively analyses traffic and trending information across all of its clients’ perimeter security solutions, allowing it to more readily identify and safeguard against threats and undocumented attempts to compromise security.
With the perimeter secure, the next step is to safeguard the business from time-wasting unsolicited mail (also known as SPAM) and malware, such as viruses and worms that are designed to steal information, crash computer systems or create holes in perimeter security solutions.
Altech Technology Concepts’ Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam services are powered by MailMarshal, which utilises a combination of pattern file checking to safeguard against well-known threats and a new technique called ‘sandboxing’ to identify yet-to-be-discovered threats.
The latter does this by analyzing suspicious code in a virtual environment and making predictions about its actions and possible effects.
Altech Technology Concepts’ Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam service is furthermore differentiated by its ability to allow customers to self-configure the level of spam and virus protection they require by toggling rules ‘on’ and ‘off’ as they see fit.
By taking care of the perimeter as well as the core of customers’ networks, Altech Technology Concepts’ managed security services have proven to be extremely effective in safeguarding corporate networks from the ills that plague the online world.
