Firewall Monitoring, is it for you?

Is your data at risk?

 Barely a day goes by that you don’t see, read or hear a news story declaring the latest big business or government entity that has fallen victim to hackers or data thieves. The scarier truth is, that its not only big companies that are targets, even small firms can become the unknowing focus of attention of a hacker or disgruntled employee.

It is likely that you have a firewall between your business network and the Internet, if you are a Finao-IT client, this firewall is constantly not only defending your data, but also logging all attempts to breach the network. As a general rule our engineers check these logs whenever they access your network for a support call, however; we can also monitor your firewall 24×7 in real time to catch malicious activity as it happens and if necessary take action.

This service also includes a monthly email of security logs and concerns as reported by your firewall. It is up to you to determine the level of data-loss risk you are comfortable with, and if you want to take the next step in securing your data, give us a call and we can begin monitoring services in less than an hour. At $9.99 a month it’s very affordable.

The Importance of Off-Site Backup

Is your data truly “Backed Up”?

If you are only using tape or hard disk backup, then the answer is no. Before the terrorist attacks of September Eleventh, 2001 most business’s were completely comfortable having a backup tape rotation and someone from the office taking a nightly backup home.

After 9-11 however, more managers and owners of small and medium sized firms realized the potential for a large scale disaster that could affect not only the business location but a more regional swath of destruction that could also render the tape taken home useless.

In addition we have found that for the average medical practice/small business, the person tasked with tape removal/change either forgets, calls in sick, or misses a tape at least once a month. What if that day is the day you suffer a fire? Can you afford to have a total loss of patient records or customer information? How about the lost cash flow? How would you meet your tax obligations?

If your firm has multiple locations that are seperated by at least ten to 20 miles, consider a backup server or storage device at the remote location. If not then Finao-IT can help you by installing our off-site backup software and providing safe, encrypted and easy to restore data storage in Atlanta GA, or Chicago IL.

Costs for this service are as low as $25/mo depending on the amount of data to be backed up, and inn the event of a total loss of your facility, the data is Fed-Ex shipped on a hard disk to your temporary location.
