Network Security: What You Should Know

How worried should you be about network security?  Consider the following:

Computer virus attacks cost global
businesses an estimated $55 billion in damages in 2003, a sum that will rise in 2004.
     -Trend Micro Inc.

Last year, there was almost one major virus attack every month.
     -REUTERS

Over 25% of attacks today are coming from Web pages and downloads.
     -Fortinet Inc.

Fully 45% of the free files collected via KaZaA, the most popular program for downloading free files and music, contained viruses, Trojan horse programs, or
backdoors.
     -TruSecure Corporation

50% to 75% of all commercial websites can be hacked.
     -Gartner Group

Overall things got worse in 2003. The total number of viruses reported ‘in the wild’ increased by 24%.
     -TruSecure Corporation

The number of new viruses discovered every month continues to increase. In the last quarter of 2001, the Sophos virus lab was processing around 1200 new viruses each month.

Features Included with all Atvantage SecureIT® Packages


   

Anti-Virus Protection & Management

Monitoring and Management of ICSA Certified Anti-virus scanning of inbound/outbound network traffic. This service scans all Internet traffic via HTTP, FTP, SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 protocols for Virus patterns. Most virus attacks will be terminated at the firewall before they ever start. All detected virus outbreaks will trigger alarms potentially causing complete quarantine of the infected machine(s).  Email messages carrying potentially harmful attachments will have their attachments removed prior to delivery. Atvantage will continually monitor all computers on client’s network to ensure they remain virus-free.  If a virus is discovered on any PC or server on client’s internal LAN, Atvantage will promptly clean any infected PC(s).  If the same computer becomes repeatedly infected, Atvantage may require that a commercial anti-virus program be installed on that computer to prevent future infections.

Bandwidth Management

Certain applications or users can be given priority over Internet bandwidth. This guarantees high performance from Internet based applications regardless of anomalous bandwidth behavior such as large file downloads or bursting access needs of Internet users.

Content Filtering Management

Internet content filtering will prevent users from accessing inappropriate web sites and inappropriate web based email. Banned words and phrases are used, as well as third party databases to filter prohibited Internet content. Different levels of filtering can be applied to different users for more flexibility. Passwords can also be implemented for Internet Access.

Firewall Protection & Management

Implementation, management, and troubleshooting of ICSA Certified Firewall hardware preventing all unnecessary access to and from your network. After reviewing your business needs, only necessary inbound and outbound access will be allowed.

Help Desk Support

As part of Client’s subscription, Atvantage may provide help desk support for network infrastructure, servers and desktops and most IT-related products.  Examples include operating system support, network connectivity, and most mainstream business software applications. The exact number of help desk incidents provided every month depends on the client's specific plan. If client exceeds their allotted number of help desk incidents in a month, additional incidents can be purchased at a discounted rate.

Intrusion Detection/Intrusion Prevention

All Intrusion Detection and Prevention alerts will be monitored by Atvantage. The monitoring process will evaluate each alert and take appropriate action based on the evaluation. All Internet traffic will be scanned for known attack patterns. As new vulnerabilities arise, new patterns will be implemented into the security system to keep the customer network safe from Internet attacks.

On-Site Service

As part of Client’s subscription, Atvantage may provide on-site service for network infrastructure, servers and desktops and most IT-related products. Examples include hardware upgrades, operating system upgrades, implementation of new infrastructural components, or anything that can't be solved or completed remotely. The exact number of on-site service hours provided every month depends on the client's specific plan. If client exceeds their allotted number of on-site service hours in a month, additional hours can be purchased at a discounted rate.

Remote VPN Connectivity & Management

VPN service includes implementation, management, and troubleshooting of IPSEC, PPTP, and L2TP VPN tunnels. Virtual Private Networking connects your network to other networks in the world via the Internet. Strong VPN encryption algorithms are used to ensure the highest levels of security as your network communicates with others. Users can share resources between business sites or any remote location with Internet Access. Remote VPN Connectivity requires configuration at both ends of the VPN Tunnel.

Remote Monitoring & Alert Management

Atvantage will use remote monitoring tools to proactively monitor remote network hosts and advise Client if a problem is detected. Remote Monitoring can be provided for servers, desktops, firewalls, and any other network devices of the customer's choosing.

Spam-free Email Hosting

Unlimited, SPAM Filtered Email is available for corporate use using a customer defined domain name such as user_name@mycompany.com.  Support for the POP3, IMAP, and SMTP protocols will be provided.  The server that will be hosting the client’s email account can reside on an Atvantage server at the Atvantage data center or on the customer's own email server. As part of Atvantage’s email hosting package, all incoming email will automatically be filtered for spam.  While it is impossible to block 100% of all spam, it is estimated that at least 80 – 90% of spam will be successfully blocked by the Atvantage email system.

Web Hosting

Corporate Web Hosting with up to 500 MB of server storage is provided using a customer defined domain name such as mycompany.com.  Support for HTTP and FTP protocols will be provided.  The server that will be hosting the client’s website will reside in a secure, state-of-the-art data center, providing excellent reliability and uptime.
