Protect Your Network, Train Your Employees

Think your antivirus software and firewall protect you from hackers? Think you can completely trust all of your employees?

Many small business owners have the mistaken impression that antivirus software provides all the protection their computer network needs only to scratch their heads later about how a virus or malware got on their computers, or how a hacker retrieved sensitive information including bank accounts, user names and passwords.

Many also rarely consider the threat posed by employees to their network’s security, either through outright theft or negligence or unwittingly assisting outside attackers.

A recent study by Visa showed that since 2005, small businesses have been the source of 80 percent of data security compromises.

With this in mind, FlexITechs offers our FlexIT Managed Security Service, which combines our FlexIT End-User IT Security Service with our unique policy-based Threatucation Security Awareness Training program, both designed to protect your company from external and internal threats with security policy creation, initial training, ongoing training, security alerts and malware assistance for your end-users.

END-USER IT SECURITY

• Secure devices anywhere — policies, controls and protection from the security solution best suited for your type of business protect your end-users everywhere with the same security they have in the office — on an appointment, at home, in a coffee shop, etc. — thereby mitigating the chance they could be infected using other networks or introduce an infection to the office network from outside
• It securely enables BYOD — It mitigates the risk of employees introducing threats to the office network and losing corporate data when they use their personal mobile devices for work by requiring passcodes,  locking or wiping a stolen or lost device remotely, and tracking installed apps
• It’s monitored — a Dashboard shows us infections that have been cleaned or need to be cleaned manually, as opposed to traditional anti-virus where we often don’t know of an infection until the computer has another problem days, weeks or even months later
• It utilizes a Host Intrusion Protection System — HIPS goes beyond the definitions traditional anti-virus software uses to catch unknown threats by blocking unusual behavior indicative of an attack, even if it’s not in the definition database
• It’s multi-platform — it can be used on Windows laptops and desktops, Android and Apple tablets and phones, and Windows servers
• It enforces acceptable use policies — control the types of web sites employees visit based on your preferences

END-USER SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING

• A very important part of the solution, our Threatucation Security Awareness Training program creates a culture of security in your organization through our unique policy-based program that includes at a bare minimum a Risk Assessment, the creation or updating of an Acceptable Use Policy, and a security awareness training presentation that shows employees the consequences of violating your AUP to them, their co-workers, your company, and your clients and vendors.
• Optional features include:
  • Our Threat Check Service that allows end-users to email or call us regarding potential malicious threats they have questions about from emails received, web pages viewed or other attack vectors
  • Ongoing training so the initial training remains fresh through a phishing simulation program
  • Weekly and monthly emails covering the latest threats, tricks and cons, coupled with emergency alerts about imminent threats
