Security Testing / Server Hardening
Why Computer Security Matters:
Your home or business computers are popular targets for intruders. Why? Because intruders want what you’ve stored there. They look for credit card numbers, bank account information, and anything else they can find. By stealing that information, intruders can use your money to buy themselves goods and services. Not only that but they can hijack your computers, use your hard drive space and even attack other people online using your internet connection.
Netzen Can Help Secure Your Networks:
Have you ever considered how much money would be lost if your business systems got hit by a virus and critical data was wiped out? Netzen can offer Risk Management assessments of all your computer equipment to calculate the maximum downtime that can be expected and the financial burden it can place on your company. For over twenty years information security has worked around a principle based on confidentiality, integrity and availability, known as the ‘CIA triad’ in the security industry. Netzen can ensure that security policies and procedures are put in place to uphold the CIA triad principle and keep your business running as smoothly as possible.
Operating System Hardening:
System hardening is necessary since “out of the box”, some operating systems tend to be designed and installed primarily to be easy to use rather than secure. Most but not all systems can have security measures enabled that will make them suitable for high security, high reliability environments.
There are many reasons why taking the steps to harden your system is worth it.
- You can have more confidence in the integrity of your data
- performance improvements can be experienced since unnecessary services are removed, and inefficiencies in system configuration are detected
- If there is a system failure, you can recover faster
- The company’s reputation is protected
- Clients are happier as a result of fewer system failures or delays
- To prevent lawsuits. Your organization may have a legal liability to secure the private information of your employees, customers or research subjects
