• Get a Firewall. This is a vital protective measure, and will deter hackers from trying to gain access to your computer network. for a single PC, a 'personal firewall' such as the Symantec Client Security software offers a good level of protection at an affordable price-point. If you operate a network of PCs, you really need a professional firewall unit such as the SonicWALL TZ170. Units start at 10 users, and scale up to firewall appliances suited to hundreds or even thousands of users.
• Install professional Antivirus software, and keep your subscriptions up to date. This includes protecting your desktop PCs, servers and mail gateways. Suitable products include the Symantec Professional AntiVirus and Multi-tier protection suites.
• Keep Windows system updated. Again, this includes both desktop PCs and Servers. This can be achieved by setting up automatic updating, or visiting the appropriate microsoft website.
• CHECK gateway/router configuration of your Broadband/Internet connection. Often overlooked, it's not sufficient just to get your broadband system working- the correct security setup must also be implemented and checked to ensure that hackers are discouraged from attempting to gain unauthorised access to your network.

Online-edge can assist your organisation with selecting the right products, and making sure that proper and secure installation procedures and update methods are implemented. We can also check your present systems for mis-configuration and vulnerabilities, and recommend improvements.

We can assist you in selecting and installing the correct products for YOUR business, and offer friendly and sensible advice to our clients throughout Scotland and northern England.

The Internet has become increasingly important to companies throughout the UK, and within Scotland the uptake of Broadband has been increasing rapidly. Broadband offers a faster and often cheaper alternantive to ISDN, leased lines etc.

Unfortunately, broadband can also increase the risk of attack from hackers. That's why good advice is important at the outset. Prevention is cheaper than a cure, and it's more cost-effective to avoid potential security problems than deal with the aftermath of a serious hacker attack. Online-edge has a range of products and services designed to protect your business computer systems and information, including AntiVirus protection, Firewall appliances and configuration services.

Online-edge can liaise with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to make sure that the correct products and configurations are ordered. This can save time and money, and avoid possible delays and disruption.

 What are the risks with Broadband ?

          4 Simple Steps to improve Internet Security

Broadband offers an 'always-on' connection to the Internet. What many users do not realise is that the connection is a two-way pipeline- while you are sending email or surfing the net, hackers can easily gain access to unprotected systems, and can cause untold damage to your business by

• stealing confidential information
• storing illegal information on your computers without your knowledge
• using your computer systems as 'zombies' to launch attacks on other organisations.

Broadband systems often have fixed (static IP) public addresses, which provide a stationary target for hackers. Broadband connections are also attractive targets because they provide hackers with fast internet access.

However, if you follow the simple measures below, you will reduce your risk of attack.
