Building a design that will meet your current needs, and allowing you to expand with new technologies is a critical part of your business. Understanding these technologies and their impact on your network is where our Instructors and consultants can help you put together a solution that will easily grow with your needs.
Security
Who are you securing your data from?
What are your exposures?
These are questions that run through our minds daily. The threats to our company resources and data are not just from the Internet. TSG Consulting has the hands-on experience to help you define your exposures and put into place a reasonable policy to protect your company.
Security solutions vary based on customer need. Part of a good network design is the security of mission critical data. There are many pieces to a good security policy. Implementing sound firewalls like IBM SecureWay, Cisco PIX, or Check Point provide buffers between networks. Implementing VPNs to allow your mobile staff or specific vendors access to data is often required. Content checkers are available to ensure the traffic coming into your organization is appropriate for business as well as ensuring confidential and sensitive data is not leaving. Other tools that come into play are DMZ’s, SSL, Kerberos, virus checkers, server security, IPSec, SecureID, VLANs, and a variety of technologies that appear every day.
TSG Consulting can work with your staff to define your security goals and needs and implement the right tools to get the job done.
