There are many benefits to connecting to the Internet, but there are just as many  network security risks. 

Connecting your business to the Internet can expose your company to the risks of hackers and viruses unless you have the appropriate level of network security and anti-virus protection.  

A hacker or a virus can do serious damage to your computer resources.  This damage can cause a significant amount of system downtime resulting in lost productivity.  Avisotek will examine your company's firewall, network and server configurations to determine loopholes that a hacker can use to penetrate your network defenses.  Avisotek will install the necessary software or hardware to plug these security loopholes.  

Network security is an ongoing endeavor.  Your company can not afford to have outdated technology.  Hackers are always finding new ways to penetrate firewalls and other network defenses, and programmers continue to develop ever increasingly destructive viruses.  Your company's firewalls, intruder detection systems, and anti-virus applications should be updated regularly in order to provide the most effective defense. 

Why your company should have a network usage policy.

You have spent thousands of dollars on computers, applications and system peripherals. Why expose these investments to potential damage caused by employee misuse?  There will always be employees who will tamper with computer configurations and install applications in order to personalize their workstations.  Unfortunately,  when attempting to "personalize" their workstations, employees can inadvertently corrupt applications or the operating system registry requiring a technician to repair the damage. 

There will also be employees who want to spend time playing games, writing personal letters, configuring wallpaper, surfing the internet, and other non-work related activities.  These activities reduce employee productivity, which can affect your company bottom line.

A Network usage policy is only as good as it can be enforced.

Fortunately, there are new network usage management tools that can help enforce your company’s network usage policy.  Here are some examples of what these new network usage management tools can do:
