Secure your network infrastructure and vital corporate data from outside attacks and virus threats that can cripple your business. By implementing proper security audits and proper permissions policies, you can minimize and block these threats from entering your network and causing it harm.
External security threats are those that come from outside the LAN, usually over the Internet (but sometimes through dial-up connections to a remote access server on the LAN). These threats are the ones we usually think of when we talk about hackers, crackers, and network attackers. They are capable of finding flaws and characteristics of computer operating systems and software applications. They attack and exploit the way various network communications protocols work. Here's what they have the potential to do:
A breach can be deliberate or unintentional, and some results can actually be relatively benign. For example, a teenage hacker reading a non-sensitive company file will not trigger much harm. On the other hand, some breaches can prove to be devastating. An entire network being disabled for hours or days, loss of worker productivity, loss of revenue, and loss of customers’ confidence are much more severe.
