The Internet is an essential tool for any business. However, the internet is full of risks. Linking your network of PC?s to a Broadband connection will increase your business to all the IT security risks, if your IT security fails will your business survive?
The Threats
? An unprotected network is a target waiting to be hit, whether this is a malicious attack specific to your business, or an opportunist attack. Additionally to the normal ?hacker? attacks, the internet is riddled with worms and viruses that will attack and infect your system without your knowledge. The solution is to install a Firewall that only lets in the traffic required, and blocks all traffic that you don?t require. Intrusion prevention, anomaly behaviour blocking, auto-blocking during attack all combine to secure your network.
? Transferring data across the internet is insecure, unless a secure channel can be created; this secure channel is called a Virtual Private Network. A VPN can create a secure channel between you, your customers, partners and Networking Security Solutions (allowing NSS to check your AV software, manage your Firewall, and to keep your systems on the latest patches).
? All small businesses need to comply with the data protection act, any loss of customer credit card, or customer contact details would make your business liable to prosecution. Additionally the loss of customer confidence would seriously impact any business.
? Viruses and worms can have a disastrous affect on your network, computers, and data. A virus may require you re-install your operating system and all you programs, a process that can take hours. If a virus infects your data, say for example a spreadsheet ? you may not know that the virus is changing the numbers ? until it is too late. This may include your accounts data. Viruses and worms can automatically use your email systems to resend itself to your customers, not a good customer relations exercise.
? The lose of your data due to a virus or worm, hacker attack, fire, theft or flood, can wipe out your business. Using a secure off site backup solution will dramatically reduce your exposure to these risks.
? Last month Microsoft released seven critical security updates for Windows XP, Windows2003 server. Each of these critical vulnerabilities increases the risk of exposure to hackers, viruses, worms and loss of data. Patch management automates the process of protecting your network and your business.
? Email, is not a secure method of communication. Spam and viruses can plague your system. It is estimated that by 2007 23 billions emails will contain spam and viruses. Any email communication is effectively a contract, appending a disclaimer to all outgoing emails is the first step in protecting your business
? Spyware can gather data about your computer, your business, your customer?s credit card details, your bank details and siphon these away from your network into the hands of criminals. Spyware can allow unauthorised remote access into your network effectively allowing the ?hacker? complete control of your systems

Re: Is your computer safe from all this porn!!
Firewalls are not invincible, there are enough free programmes in the misc section to keep the average porn surfer relativley safe, although I agree key loggers are a bastard, as they can copy everything you type, and relay the information back, there is no fool proof way to protect yourself, you just need to install one or two good anti virus programmes, and more importantly keep them updated..
