The proliferation of the Internet has created an interesting by-product, the need for Network Security. Network Security is not an option for your network it is a requirement. Most companies have invested in an anti-virus solution to protect against virus problems. Many companies have invested in firewalls to protect themselves from would be intruders. These measures are simply not enough to defend the network from the professional hackers and international crime organizations that are behind today’s attacks.

While the need for network security is well documented, it is not well understood. Computer Gallery can help. We can augment your existing network security practices with a variety of services.

Our Managed Firewall solution is a simple and inexpensive way to improve your overall network security. We install our firewall at your location. This firewall, which includes Intrusion Prevention and Vulnerability Assessment Services, provides a baseline of security for you and your network. In addition, the firewall scans all incoming packets for viruses, ad-ware, and spyware. Malicious events are detected and terminated before their harmful effects are released upon your network.

Patching has become a critical component to network security. The recent “blaster virus” is a great example of the need for patching. This worm was able to hit epidemic status and then circle the globe in a period of 10 minutes. The Blaster worm exploited a vulnerability documented by Microsoft. If you machine was patched according to Microsoft’s recommendation, the blaster worm had no affect.
