Anti-virus
In the past viruses only travelled as fast as the users' activity allowed them: for instance boot sector viruses depended on the transfer of floppy disks. Now, however, viruses are spreading much faster and reaching much further. Anti-virus products have become much more sophisticated to deal with the increased speed and complexity of viruses, worms, trojans and other malicious code. New, previously unknown threats can now be thwarted with great speed and efficiency.
Regularly updating your anti-virus software is extremely importan - no longer can virus updates occur quarterly, they should now happen hourly. Even more important is finding the most suitable product on the market for your company's requirements. At DL I.T. we will source the best antivirus software for your company, by always keeping abreast of the latest developments.
Spam Filtering
In this busy time of technology, we want to make life as easy as possible for you. Spam can find many ways of getting though to your inbox; mostly it is just time-wasting junk, but some spam can also transmit viruses and cause problems to your system.
We provide a remote Anti-Spam service which carefully monitors and helps us to protect you from 99% of the email spam sent to your domain. We ensure this is regularly updated, using industry-recognised blacklists, in order to keep up with the constantly evolving methods spammers will use to get through to your inbox.
Firewall
A Firewall is essential to any company, regardless of size. It acts as a barrier to any network intrusion, examining the traffic flowing through and blocking unwanted passage based on a set of predefined rules. Firewalls are particularly useful for protecting access from any unauthorized users to your private network, or Intranet.
Often, standard Firewalls require you to specifically allow certain network connections which is ultimately very time-consuming. To counteract this, some businesses allow all traffic unless it has been specifically blocked. Neither of these are ideal for the modern business, and we at DL I.T. will find the right balance for your company.
Remote Working & VPN
As commerce increases, the need for constant remote access is inevitable. Whether you work in the global market and 24-hour workday, or have staff that need to be mobile, remote working provides the ideal solution. Clients will be able to have effective communication with you, regardless of your location, as remote working provides you with secure access to documents, office facilities and your company Intranet.
This constant access enables staff to work together as efficiently as if they were in the office, thereby helping you to reduce costs and increase productivity.
