ThruTech - Holistic Security

Solutions - Holistic Security

It used to be the conventional wisdom that the small and medium enterprises were "not worth the trouble" of typical hackers; sadly, this is absolutely NOT the case any longer.

No longer can the smaller firm afford to entrust its informational assets to what security professionals call: "Security through Obscurity"

The end of
"Security Through Obscurity"

Hacking (trying to gain unauthorized access to systems or data) used to be the directed and deliberate work of an individual or group of people that were at the very least technically adept within the domain of data systems Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA - often referred to as "triple-A").

Code Red, an amazingly flexible worm demonstrated this is no longer necessary as it indiscriminately infected millions of computers around the word. Programs such as Code Red assail victims with a bewildering array of vectors, or simply: means of infection. They can apply an old school hacker's entire bag of tricks in seconds, and they are often autonomous - meaning they don't care if yours is a firm of fifty people or a member of the Fortune Fifty!

Holistic security requires
knowledgeable and diligent professionals

ThruTech provides businesses like yours with the entire spectrum of equipment and services required to provide your data systems with holistic security. These solutions include:

Firewalls
Anti-Virus measures for servers and workstations
Intrusion detection

Firewalls
Firewalls are frequently your first line against Internet security threats. They acts as the gatekeeper to keep hackers on the Internet from accessing data on your network. There are a variety of devices and software packages that can perform varying degrees of detection and prevention of unauthorized access. We have relationships with various partners, but only recommend solutions that are ICSA Certified Firewall Products, a widely accepted and vendor-neutral recognition.

Anti-Virus measures for servers and workstations
Applied correctly, today's anti-virus technologies can halt or even inoculate computer viruses at points of ingress to your company such as your e-mail server. Such approaches operate without the interaction or even knowledge of the intended recipient of the email. Many of these solutions are securely updated against newly released viruses automatically and quickly, which reduces your exposure to the critical gap between the beginning of viruses update and when your defenses have specific knowledge of the threat.

Intrusion detection - Many contemporary firewalls such as those from Cisco Systems and SonicWALL include logic that can alert administrators to intrusion or even unsuccessful intrusion attempts.
