We would like to hear more about your needs.
Let’s get you a secure space with VPN
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. The reason for such a thing is to secure your data transfer between locations.
Because your information makes multiple hops and traversals from endpoint to endpoint, it means other people can see your data stream. The information sent through an unencrypted stream is easy pickings for a hack attempt. A VPN will encrypt that data and make it less appealing to a would-be data thief.
Among the other things a VPN can do is make you feel at home when roaming. You can access your file severs, printers, and everything else just like you would expect to at the office, even if you were in Paris enjoying a baguette at a bistro!
Whether you have one user or 100 users, there’s a VPN solution in our repertoire that we can get set up for you pronto. 5280 IT Partners can set up Cisco, Windows, Mac OS, or many other brands of VPN.
Secure your wireless network
“Do you have WiFi?” It’s a common question most business owners are asked by clients and customers each day. It’s important to consider if you want to open an internet access point at your business, you are aware of not only the benefits, but also the security risks.
You may question why you just can’t have an open network? With Liability of the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) as a wireless hotspot provider, you can be held liable for someone downloading copyrighted content on your network. We have solutions to control that sort of behavior and minimize that risk.
A captive portal allows wireless users to use the internet but also be made aware of the service they are using. There are also more controls available, like time limits on access, users access login, password access, and type of data prioritization.
We can make your wireless usage match your corporate access policy. This way you can dictate what goes on in your network.
5280 IT Partners can advise you on the best solution once we are clear on how you would like to operate your wireless portal.
Whether you need a comprehensive structure to deploy wireless access across a site, or if you only need to add some accessibility in places where there is a lack of signal, 5280 IT Partners can help.
Vulnerablity and risk assessment
A web vulnerability assessment is important as your website can expose your company to all the hackers and bots that troll the internet. Our scans look for vulnerabilities in your website’s code or due to configuration of your web server that hackers could use to compromise your site or find further access into you network.
An external vulnerability scan looks at your business’ external facing IP addresses from the Internet. Much like checking for unlocked doors and windows, a scan ensures that your network is locked down, and that any open ports are secured.
An internal vulnerability assessment can also an important measure. The idea that threats may originate from the Internet makes sense to most, but what are less commonly understood are threats originating from within the internal network. These types of threats can include malware that is downloaded onto a networked computer via a phishing attack or a USB stick. Once inside a network it can find access it could not externally.
Prioritized reporting of results is valuable for many of our customers. Scans can generate lists of hundreds of potential issues. We analyze these results and find out if and where there are vulnerabilities that should be of your highest concern.
Remediation Procedures and Support (Optional). Our experts can help you determine a plan for remediation and if desired, can execute.
Unlimited retesting of discovered vulnerabilities until remediated.
Preventive antivirus care for your network
Reality check: Unwanted software has become a fact of life in today’s modern computing world. Things like spyware, malware, viruses, toolbars, adware and undesired search bars can hinder your ultimate computing experience. In most cases, there are many software manufacturers out there who offer free and paid versions of their software to help keep those unwanted items at bay. We specialize in using the most lightweight and efficient pieces of scanning software so as not to encumber your system with unwieldy antivirus or security software packages. In this modern age of computing technology, most antivirus packages have become inefficient, focusing more on flashy and complex interfaces rather than focusing on what really matters: virus and malware removal. Well, let’s face it. There’s a good likelihood that if you are reading this web page, you probably have need for our services. Not only do we specialize in preventive antivirus & spyware measures, but we also can be pretty effective at removing viruses, malware and spyware from already infected systems. If necessary, when the infection has run too deep, it may become necessary to remove the data and start with a clean build of the operating system. This is also a technique we have lots of familiarity with. The process of removing and scrubbing your data before we put it on a fresh system build is something that requires both patience and skill. Fortunately, our technicians are trained with large amounts of both. So, whether you need us to consult with you to determine your virus infection risk and install adequate protection to help negate that risk, or if we must reload and restore your system, or pull the data, we’re ready. Even if it looks like data is missing, in few cases is the data actually “gone”. Bring your system in and we’ll see what we can do! Then, we can secure your system so this does not happen again! Sound like a plan? Then call us!
