The security of business IT systems has never been so important. Businesses rely more and more on IT to support their activities, and this makes them increasingly vulnerable to threats from hackers, viruses and even their own staff.

Having the correct information at the right time can make the difference between success and failure for your business. Effective security can help control and secure information from malicious changes and deletions or from unauthorised disclosure.

BBS provides a total security solution, from highlighting the potential threats to a business, the requirement to put an effective security policy in place and the need to consider business continuity as an essential component of this policy. We are authorised resellers for leading firewall and anti-virus products, along with various auditing and proactive monitoring systems to prevent malicious or accidental user activity.

Firewalls

We are partners with Sonicwall and are an authorised reseller for Cisco, with fully trained Cisco and Sonicwall engineers in house too, so we can offer the ultimate in perimeter firewall defences for your system. Many companies have excellent hardware that is poorly configured, exposing holes in the network perimeter that can allow hackers to breach the network and cause business disruption, gain access to business data and shut down systems. We can conduct an audit of your current perimeter security and provide a report on the possible failings, with detailed advice on how to fix the issue and improve the security.

Web defence

Using our WebAngel product, we can ensure maximum web browsing security by directing ALL web traffic through an externally managed system. This offers protection from web based virus and spyware, whilst also giving you options to prevent access to certain websites such as facebook, yahoo mail and other non business related sites. Please click here for our WebAngel page with further information on this system. (goes to webangel 3.31)

Anti Virus

BBS were one of the first companies to use and recommend the Eset NOD32 antivirus product range. Eset are a relatively new company in the antivirus market but they have fast become the industry leaders, offering protection beyond the likes of McAfee and Symantec while keeping the software small and bug free, maximising machine performance.

Typically, all antivirus products have an impact on the workstation or server, as they slow the system down during the checking for viruses. Eset has been proved to offer the smallest performance impact of all the big antivirus solutions providers and retains the high levels of protection too. BBS are an authorised partner for Eset and have trained technicians ready to advise on your antivirus requirements.

Internal Auditing

Many of the most common threats to the corporate network are caused by the mishandling of the basics. Users passwords, server backdoor accounts and default settings are some of the many easy routes into a system for a hacker. BBS can provide a customised audit of your system, detailing areas that require action and suggesting recommended practices. We can also provide full security policies or simple templates that you can use to create your own policy.

Our contract clients can also take advantage of our proactive monitoring service. This enables us to monitor all server and workstation activity, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including obvious issues such as low drive space and high processor usage, but it also notifies us if a user removes, changes or installs software on the machine. This helps to prevent unwanted programs such as itunes and google desktop being installed and affecting business application performance.
