Protect your business with tough data security
Converting bulky paper files to a database? Running an e-commerce site? Storing data electronically allows you to maintain accurate information and serve customers faster-which ultimately could increase your bottom line.
A New York Times news report noted that smaller businesses are increasingly the targets of sophisticated hackers who understand the value that is sitting on vulnerable databases. The report quoted Mark Culp, a special agent in the FBI’s cybercrime division:
"If the hackers think you have credit card numbers they can sell or use, they are going to target your Web site," he said. "That information should be encrypted. If companies aren’t doing that, they’re asking for trouble."1
So how do you give customers peace of mind, while protecting your assets? A suite of data and network security products can give you a competitive advantage over businesses with minimal or no security measures in place. Anti-virus software is not enough-you need a comprehensive security plan, with point-of-entry protection as well as continuous monitoring of your network, to keep a constant watch over your business data.
The Managed Security suite from Time Warner Cable Business Class includes:
- Around-the-clock, active monitoring and maintenance of your systems-protection that goes beyond software that requires regular updating and license renewal.
- Strong firewall appliances and intrusion prevention that encrypts data to stop hackers-and even staff-from accessing customer data.
- Content filtering that screens any incoming data, such as files that are downloaded by employees, to stop outside viruses.
- Virtual Private Networks that require user authentication, enabling encrypted data to travel safely over the Internet through closed, virtual data "tunnels."
These features can be purchased individually or together depending on the size and needs of your business.
