Security Solutions

A firewall is the cornerstone of Internet security, establishing a boundary between your own company private network and the Internet and deciding which traffic is, or is not, allowed past. It is imperative that your business is protected by a firewall system which provides comprehensive security and monitoring features suitable for your business.

Result IT can provide a range of firewall systems including Microsoft's ISA server and hardware appliances from Watchguard, Cisco and Netgear. Whichever firewall solution suits your business, it is equally important that it is properly configured to ensure optimum protection for your business - Result IT's experts can configure and support a vast range of firewall systems.

If you have a wireless network which is not adequately secured, malicious and opportunist users could be connecting to your network to attack your company systems, eavesdrop on your network or to hijack your internet connection. Even wireless networks which appear secure by demanding a connection password from users may be susceptible to a range of attacks if they do not use the most up to date security mechanisms.

Result IT can provide a comprehensive assessment of the current security of your wireless network and even demonstrate some of the techniques an attacker might use. Our experts can then implement any recommendations to improve upon this using methods such as Wifi Protected Access (WPA), 802.1x Authentication, MAC filtering and three factor authentication.

More than 92% of viruses enter businesses through email* and with spam now accounting for upwards of 80% of global email traffic* an effective email security system has never been more important. Desktop anti-virus software can stop viruses once they reach your users, but in a business environment all email traffic should be filtered as early as possible to stop any malicious or unwanted content ever reaching your systems.

Result IT's basic email filtering service costs from just £75 per year, blocking known viruses and up to 70% of spam emails. Our Email Systems Premium Protection service offers the ultimate in email filtering with 100% effective virus filters and a spam detection rate of 98%, priced from just £2.30 per user/month. We also offer a range of award winning server based software solutions from Symantec, Microsoft and GFI.

Viruses have long been established as a grave risk to computer systems and anti-virus software has earned it's place as a must-have for any computer system. Viruses are now increasingly competing with Spyware and Adware as the number one threat to desktop computer users. Any modern desktop security solution should include protection against this blended range of threats.

Result IT can offer antivirus and antispyware software from a range of vendors including Symantec, Microsoft and McAfee, offering the industry's best protection against current and emerging threats, centralised management and simple deployment to ensure all your businesses assets are protected.

Every business has different needs and ideas with regards to the Internet access given to their employees. You may wish to restrict your employees to a small number of Internet resources, filter access to certain websites or offer your employees freedom to use the Internet as required. In any case it is essential that you are able to adequately monitor Internet usage and protect both your employees and your systems from undesirable Internet content. Result IT can provide a range of solutions to provide website filtering, granular access controls and internet usage monitoring.

More and more businesses are taking full advantage of the global nature of the Internet to offer remote workers, partners and customers access to their IT resources through systems such as mobile email, VPNs, web portals and e-commerce. Whilst these technologies can offer immense benefits to all businesses, it is vitally important to ensure they are not simultaneously introducing vulnerabilities or weaknesses into your otherwise secure infrastructure. As well as providing a range of secure remote access systems and applications, Result IT can carry out comprehensive assessments of existing systems and in many cases offer a number of recommendations or very cost effective solutions to enhance the security of your external applications.
