Network Security

Computer viruses and malware/rootkit attacks are steadily increasing in numbers and the level of sophistication.  Properly configured firewalls and network security protection is now essential for any business with a network and high speed Internet connection.  NextSys Networking can provide you with a security audit of your network and recommend a comprehensive security strategy for your entire network.

Internal Threats

One of the largest threats that many companies overlook is from it's own internal employees.  Gone are the days where you didn't need access controls between your email servers, removable disks such as USB drives, workstations and servers.  However we find many companies worry about protecting intruders getting into their network from outside their company but not from employees who already have access to their network. 

Risk Assessment

Our risk assessment process includes identification and evaluation of risks, and recommendation of risk-reducing measures.  Identifying risk for a network system requires an understanding of the processing environment. As a network security consulting firm, our first step is to collect system-related information.
We will use a security checklist that contain basic security standards that can be used to evaluate and identify the vulnerabilities such as personnel, hardware and software. 

We will identify security controls which include the use of technical and non-technical methods. Technical controls are safeguards that are incorporated into computer hardware, and software,  such as identification, access, authentication, encryption, and intrusion detection software. Non-technical controls are management and operational controls, such as security and operational policies.
