Any connection
to the Internet will need some 'firewall' protection. A Firewall offers protection for your company network against unauthorised
access by other Internet users - a common term for unauthorised access is 'hacking'. A firewall can also prevent malicious
programs or viruses being inadvertently downloaded from the Web. WISC offers a wide range of firewall security products from experienced and respected vendors, so we have
solutions to fit almost any business whether a single user or a large corporate computer network. Installation of a firewall
on your network will provide some protection from the threats mentioned above, but where WISC can add real value is in
the configuration of your defences. A firewall, like any security device, needs skilled configuration and maintenance to ensure
its effectiveness. Other threats from the Internet that cannot easily be protected against with firewalls include viruses,
and dangerous content. Viruses can affect any organisation which is not properly prepared and secured. WISC provide and
manage services to ensure threats like these can be reduced to an absolute minimum. Our partners include Messagelabs who offer
services which scan every email your company sends and receives for the presence of viruses. (Messagelabs scan each message
4 times with different systems guaranteeing up to 99.999% virus free). We can also provide solutions that protect the servers,
the workstations, and even the perimeter of the Internet, using products such as the Fortinet anti-virus firewall, GFI Mail Security, Mail Essentials, Network Associates GroupShield
and VirusScan Enterprise. The solutions described above are not an exhaustive list of Internet security measures; WISC
have security consultants to assess your particular network and requirements in more detail to ensure that all bases are covered.
Security audits and contingency planning can be undertaken, depending upon the scope of your particular requirements.
