Securing your business, whether big or small, is a necessity in this day and age in technology. First and foremost you should secure your internet connection to only internal use and keep outside access to a minimum and to only those who need access to the network.  To achieve this be sure to use strong encryption on your wireless networks and make sure all your passwords include a variety of letters; uppercase or lowercase, numbers, and symbols. It is always good practice to setup your network to not allow unneeded remote connections to your firewalls or routers. It’s critical to have a firewall or security appliance installed to control the flow of your network as well as access levels.  Syndeo specializes in San Diego network security, access and content filtering so we can help.

Furthermore it’s highly recommended to have antivirus protection on each computer on your network. This will ensure that malicious programs will be quarantine on-site without it jumping from one computer to the next and infecting an entire network.

Lastly, all this security needs to have a good backup plan in place to protect your data.  Many businesses have onsite and offsite backups that run on a regular basis. Having your data transferred and stored in a secure location should be a top priority for business.  Syndeo also specializes in disaster recovery and remote data backup in San Diego to help keep your businesses up and running.

To recap, keeping your network secure to only allow access to those who need it, making sure computers are clean of viruses, and ensuring that your backups are safe and secure are all necessary to provide for a secure network for your business.
