Internet

If you're browsing the internet, as you must be to see this page, then your system, and the information on it, is at risk. The threats are numerous - hacking, viruses, worms, denial-of-service, spy-ware, spoofing, spamming, trojans, war-driving - and the list just keeps growing.

Online - all the time

Staying off the Web is the best security solution - but that's not a really practicable option for most. If you're doing business on the Internet your customers don't want to hear about recovery - they want continuity.

The services you provide need to be designed around providing 100% availability. Your systems must be protected from attack and as a minimum:

• Patches and updates applied to your application software.

• A firewall installed.

• Anti-virus software with the latest anti-virus definitions installed on all machines.

• Anti-spyware software installed

and very important...!

• A clear and enforced company policy about using the Internet.

Rules of online business

• Services, information and transactions must be available on the Internet
• All of the time
• Anywhere a business has customers or partners -or potential customers and partners.
