Firewalls and Network Security
Every business connected to the Internet should have a firewall
protecting their internal network. Surprisingly, many businesses
do not have this. You wouldn't leave your office door unlocked,
would you? Then why leave your network and all of you critical
data open for the taking?
A Softwink Firewall can protect your network from worms, virus
and "hackers". Using ingress and egress stateful packet inspection,
you can prevent the bad guys from getting into you network,
and private information from leaving it. The Softwink
Firewall can also employ the Softwink Spamguard
, which can examine incoming and outgoing e-mails for "worms"
(viruses), spam and malicious attachments (usually, at no additional
cost!). Whether you are a Softwink client or not, you need a firewall.
We have the infrastructure in place to protect your network. This is a
standard service for Softwink clients, at no additional charge.
If you are not currently a Softwink client, we can still assist you
in protecting your network.
Softwink Firewall's start with a $500.00 setup, depending
on your environment [hardware is not included]. This includes the
Softwink Spamguard, and stateful packet
filtering. Additional options include PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol, so you can take over computers from outside your office),
Intrusion Detection (IDS) Monitoring, Intrusion Detection Prevention (IPS) and much more.
Basic network security monitoring (not real time) is provided to
all Softwink, Inc.
customers at no
additional cost. Anti-Spam/Anti-Virus/Anti-Worm software is also
supplied (see Softwink Spamguard) at no additional
cost. Softwink customers can also monitor IDS (Intrusion Detection System)
events and bandwidth usage. This is just a standard advantage of being
a Softwink client.
The IDS console for Softwink clients is used to view security events. . This
software, called "Loggerhead IDS console and reporting system", allows
clients to review and Softwink, Inc. administrators to
report on possible security threats. The system shows your Internet security
in real-time, 24/7/365.
If your network security policies need to come into compliance with
HIPPA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley or the Sarbane-Oxley Act, you'll need the 24/7/365
professional network security monitoring provided by
Softwink, Inc. . No
matter what time of day,
Softwink, Inc. will
be monitoring your network. Give us a ring at 800-538-9357
