| CIO's TOTAL SECURITY package is designed to keep you running without concern. eTerrorism is a fact. Whether it's from a Russian hacker or the bored high school sophomore down the block, without proactive security measures your network and data is vulnerable to attack. CIO implemented solutions will prevent viruses from infecting your network, squash SPAM, and prevent unauthorized intrusions from inside as well as outside the company. No security solution is complete without a broadband firewall, antivirus & anti-SPAM software, and an internal review of what data your users access inside and outside your network. |

| The most talked about use of a firewall is to prevent hackers and other unauthorized people access to your network data. This is indeed an important and an integral part of CIO's solution. However, CIO's implementation of Watchguard firewall technology also acts as a first line of defense preventing viruses from even entering your network. CIO will configure your firewall to strip and scan emailed virus attachments at the perimeter of your network, catching and destroying viruses before they can reach your email server and users. There is no substitute for this level of protection. Not even the best anti-virus software packages can prevent you from becoming infected until your software is updated by the manufacturer to recognize new viruses. This normally means that nothing, beside an attachment stripping firewall, can protect you in the first 24-72 hours (when over 80% of most new infections occur) of a virus's release. |
Email is not the only means of virus propagation; floppies, CDs, DVDs, FTP, and even web sites can bring viruses into your organization. This is where server centric prevention becomes key. CIO's TOTAL SECURITY package includes self-managed software that is updated daily at a centralized server and is pushed to the individual workstations. This is a key issue because it allows for managed prevention instead of wishful thinking that users are updating their own PCs.
SPAM is not only an annoyance, it costs you real money from lost employee productivity. Furthermore, SPAM is also creating liability for employers who are requiring their employees to use email in their daily work, but are not preventing offensive SPAM from reaching their work environment. SPAM can be stopped - we'll show you how.
