Network Security: The Professionals Checklist
Security and computers have become synonymous with one another especially in the last several years as information has been both stolen and leaked to the public. Businesses who utilize computers heavily and rely on their networks for productivity and daily operations stand to lose quite a bit when there's a security breach or issue on their network. While these thoughts often have business owners/managers in a mental frenzy and always looking over their technological shoulder, there is good news. There are a great number of computer firms for higher that deal specifically with stepping up and monitoring network security for businesses of all sizes. While some small and midsize business owners might believe themselves immune to problems simply because they're too small to be worth the effort nothing could be further from the truth. The unscrupulous individuals that break into networks and either take, delete, or implant their own malicious information do not discriminate on the basis of company size.
Once hired companies that specialize in business network security do a number of things to keep intruders out and to keep sensitive and important data safe and secure. Perhaps best of all is these network security services cost relatively little compared to what it will cost to repair the damage caused by hackers/intruders. The money spent on data recovery, network repair, and public relations is often 5 to 10 times the amount of business owners/managers will spend keeping the network secure.
The first thing that network security professionals will do once hired is evaluate a network and its firewall. Networks without a firewall are at a significantly higher risk of not only data theft but Malware, virus, data theft, and spyware infections as well. A network without a firewall will receive one immediately once it is found there is none to be had. Professionals will also check to ensure that a network firewall is both modern and/or up-to-date. It's not uncommon for firewalls to be installed and then left for years at the time which only serves to reduce their effectiveness. Business owners should remember that a properly configured firewall is essentially the first line of defense their network has. It also determines the rules for which ports open and close. Improperly configured firewalls on networks are just as bad as networks with no firewall.
The second thing that professionals often evaluate when hired to step up network security for a business is passwords. Network and especially firewall passwords should never be left at their factory default as many hackers can figure out network and firewall passwords simply by identifying their make and model numbers. The more complicated and lengthy a network or firewall password is the more difficult it will be for anybody with bad intentions to do any damage. Professionals that find networks with poor, default, and even no passwords will promptly work closely with business owners and IT professionals to remedy that immediately.
Updating router firmware is the next thing professionals will address. Outdated router firmware is common, especially in small businesses, simply because business owners don't give them much thought and may not have an IT staff on hand to address those issues and to keep things up-to-date. Outdated router firmware exposes networks to hackers by being easier to to circumvent. It only takes a few moments to update router firmware and the amount of protection doing so brings is invaluable.
Many hackers employ simple methods to determine just how exposed a router and/or a firewall is to the outside world. The most simple method of all is to send ping requests out to certain networks. Gauging a networks response tells a hacker everything he/she needs to know about a network and just how vulnerable it may be. When professionals are hired to monitor and step up network security for businesses they will often block pings altogether or single out specific pings placing them in a sort of blacklist so that a network will not respond to them.
Professionals hired to improve network security often do a self scan to determine what ports are open and visible to other networks. In this sense they behave like a hacker so as to determine how vulnerable a specific network might be. Simply put it allows network security professionals to see what hackers see. Professionals can make adjustments within a network and within firewalls as well close any vulnerabilities that might be present.
Near the end of their evaluation, network security professionals will often lockdown a company's IP address. Left open IP addresses can make it easier than ever for attackers to come after a network. Locking down IP addresses dramatically reduces vulnerability and the number of attacks are actually attempted. When a businesses IP address goes unseen hackers will never know it's there.
Network security may seem a scary thing to business owners and some managers though it needn't be any more. Not only has security technology improved and usually moves faster than hackers these days but the professionals available for hire to monitor and improve network security for any business are extremely affordable. There are no longer any legitimate reasons for businesses of any size to forgo hiring someone to monitor or at the very least evaluate their network security.

Rolling Blackouts in OC
Hello All,
Some of you may be aware that the power situation in
southern California is tight this summer. So tight that the ISO (aka CalSO) is letting
customers know that rolling blackouts are a possibility. The ISO says that it’s
unlikely that it will come to rolling blackouts, but we maintain that most people can’t bet
their business on it. Rolling blackouts and hard power cycles are potentially
damaging to networking equipment and servers. The issue with rolling blackouts
is that when the power is restored to a particular area, everything in that
area begins catching up immediately. For example, when all the A/C units have been off in an
area for a rolling blackout, it’s likely that they will all kick
on almost immediately when they get power again, trying to catch up for the
temperature increase during the blackout. The same applies for many servers, switches,
UPS, routers, and user’s desktop machines. This sudden increased demand for
power can cause power surges. BIG ones. Power surges can toast routers and
switches and damage components in servers.
TH2 would like to help. One quick and cheap way of
protecting yourself is to buy decent surge protectors for networking equipment
in your office. Trip-Light has a great site to help you select appropriate devices, and they are a trusted manufacturer of network protection equipment. The switches, routers, modem, and servers you have should all be protected. Look for surge protectors with a high joule rating.
This denotes how much power a surge protector can absorb without failing.
Obviously, the higher the better!
All UPS have built in surge protectors and also provide
battery power to devices for a short time in the event of a power outage. This
can help protect networking equipment and also get your business back up and
running in the event of a rolling blackout. The only issue with an UPS is
getting the right size and making sure to balance loads across different
devices. TH2 can help pick and install the proper UPS for your business.
Finally, sign up for Flex Alerts. Flex Alerts will send out
messages when the grid is approaching capacity, allowing the users of that grid
to take action before power companies are forced into rolling blackouts. The
more people who are signed up for Flex Alerts the better! Get your friends and
associates signed up too. When you receive a flex alert, the idea is for people
to try hard to cut excess power usage by turning off lights and not running
appliances for a while. Here is the Flex Alerts site: http://www.flexalert.org/
Naturally, we are more than willing to come in and do a
power audit on your site for you. Ideally, we can replace old power hungry equipment
with newer, more efficient hardware. Eventually power savings (along with long
term cooling savings, maintenance, up-time, and the higher productivity afforded
by newer hardware) can often times make up a portion or all of the upfront
costs of new hardware and installation.

Mobile Integration And Management
Though businesses began implementing mobile devices into their business strategy and infrastructure a few years back the process is now just beginning to become commonplace and is rapidly increasing in popularity. Despite these things some businesses are still holding out for variety of reasons. Some business owners/managers believe that mobile device implementation has no place in their particular business or will bring nothing beneficial to it while others fear implementing mobile devices because of the perceived high cost of doing so. Other owners and managers shy away from implementation due to security concerns and some erroneously believe that mobile devices used in business don't do anything but cause hassle.
The truth about mobile implementation in utilization in business however is that when handled properly by a reputable computer firm the process is neither overly expensive nor detrimental to any business that adopts it. In sharp contrast mobile device implementation and management begins paying for itself immediately by way of increased productivity and efficiency of work. Whereas management and ownership is concerned the process immediately allows those persons in those positions to begin monitoring the work employees do and monitor or assign new projects and implement new policies without ever leaving their home or hotel room. In effect implementing mobile devices into a business carries with it only benefits. There are no drawbacks to utilizing mobile devices, be them smart phones or tablets, in modern businesses.
Business owners and managers that do decide to move forward with mobile device implementation do need to spend considerable time reviewing the firms they're considering hiring to help them with this however. A hasty decision or hiring can be disastrous as there are extensive security measures that must be put in place by experienced and savvy computer professionals. Confident and reputable computer professionals that help businesses implement mobile device technology into their infrastructure will properly address protecting data, constructive limitations on mobile devices, and cross network and device communication. Additionally these professionals will ensure that businesses are protected from loss of mobile devices, are able to track mobile devices via GPS, provision mobile devices for fast configuring and communication, and enforce strict security protocols. Additionally many of these computer firms will also offer some sort of warranty to further bolster trust and peace of mind with their clients.
In addition to security and ensuring productivity, computer firms that work with businesses to implement mobile technology will also be watching networks and mobile devices 24/7 so that management and owners don't have to. Anytime problems arise or there are hiccups or security risks present, these professionals can address, identify, and correct the problems immediately. While there is a lot to consider prior to implementing mobile devices into a business or before hiring a company to manage mobile services a business can only benefit from allowing its employees to utilize either their own or assigned to mobile devices. These make work easier to complete and manage and can give people the ability to work even when they're away from the office.

Mobile Device Management Questions
After reading about mobile device implementation and considering it for their business, many business owners and managers are often left with more questions than answers. They also sometimes walk away from information with more trepidations and doubt. They do so only because most of the information out there pertaining to mobile device business implementation only talks about what it can do for their business and doesn't necessarily talk about costs, security, and the actual implementation itself.
Here at TH2 Technologies we aim to educate our clientele and answer any questions they may have regarding the implementation of mobile devices into their business. While implementation isn't overly difficult for us nor for business owners it is a complicated process that requires careful planning and a lot of thought before the process is ever started. An initial consultation with a computing firms such as us can give a business owner and/or a manager a really good idea of whether or not mobile implementation will work for them and whether or not it's worth the cost for their business.
There are also a lot of security concerns that need to be addressed during the consultation. Questions like "can employees use their own devices or do we assign them company devices?" and "how much access do we give employees?" all need to be addressed up front. The amount of security needed will vary from company to company and will depend largely on how much data and information employees and even management can access from mobile devices. Moreover the types of access a business owner/manager wants to allow will determine the type and amount of security that are implemented which can affect costs.
Mobile device implementation will carry different security requirements and financial costs for every company. In order to determine what it will cost for your business a consultation is recommended. Please be sure to contact us for a consultation and with any questions you may have about mobile device implementation.

Mobile Devices And Business Integration
Mobile devices provide people with a myriad of different ways to handle things in both their personal and professional lives. No longer must we wait until we get home to log onto the Internet through a desktop or a laptop. We can now access recreational, and more importantly, important information very easily and very quickly through mobile devices.
Whereas business is concerned mobile devices have redefined the ways in which people address business whether they be business owners/managers or hourly employees. Mobile technology allows owners and managers to reach their employees when they're away from the office and even assign work to them should they not be able to make it into the office. On the other hand, employees can access import company information and even work from home and on the road very easily through mobile devices. Mobile devices have freed employees from cubicles and offices and allows them to get more done not only during business hours but after business hours as well. Mobile devices have essentially given businesses and their employees a way to be more productive and more efficient with their work.
On the consumer side of things businesses can have apps created so that shopping and purchasing items/services on mobile devices is a cinch for the customer base. Consumers, like business persons, no longer have to wait until they get home to utilize their desktop to make purchases or get information about a particular company as it's now available on all types of mobile devices.
Mobile devices keep consumers, employees, and business owners connected in ways that were not possible just a few years ago. Integrating mobile technology into business isn't difficult but it does require experienced hands and is best left to professionals. Should you have any questions about mobile business implementation or like to have it set up please don't hesitate to contact us!

The Next Business Revolution: Managed Mobile Devices
Years ago computers and the Internet completely revolutionized business. They both changed how we work, how information is stored, and even where we could work from. As technology continues to become more efficient the business world too becomes more efficient and more productive than ever has been. At the turn of the millennium it was the broadband revolution and in the 2000's automated networking was the next big thing. Here in the early part of this new decade mobile devices are once again changing the way we do business and making our lives and jobs far more efficient than they once were.
In the last couple of years businesses have began incorporating mobile devices into their networks and business infrastructures. No longer are managers, owners, or even your average employee cutoff from the office or their supervisors once their shift is done. Additionally mobile devices give employees the ability to pull company information while away from the office and even to work from home or on the road should they travel for business. Mobile devices are true blessing to businesses and their employees however there are a great number of risks involved when utilizing mobile devices in business. First and foremost any company data that can be accessed through or stored on a mobile device can be stolen or corrupted which in turn can damage a company, its clients, and its employees.
While business owners and even managers will undoubtedly get excited at the prospect of implementing a mobile device program they must always remember to put security first. This is especially true if a business allows its employees to utilize their own personal devices to access company information or deal with employees. Disgruntled employees, unscrupulous individuals, and just plain miscreants are always watching and testing networks for vulnerabilities. As incorporating smart devices into business is fairly new this is often a favorite target of these types of people.
Business owners and managers needn't worry however as many computer contractors/services now offer some form of managed mobile protection. These types of services allow business executives and managers to remotely wipe data from lost devices, block unknown or unwanted mobile devices from a network, mobile device tracking via GPS, easy provisioning, and in many cases the warranty. Some computer professionals will include additional services under their managed mobile umbrella though the service tends to vary from contractor.
By minimizing the company's exposure to risk and protecting important data businesses can safely implement the usage of mobile devices without any worry. They can sit back and enjoy the multitude of benefits that mobile business brings with it. Those business owners and managers interested in managed mobile services strictly for productivity reasons will be happy to know that the majority of these services configure smart devices and networks so that productivity is maximized. Things like bugs, viruses, login problems and lag are virtually nonexistent using a managed mobile service.

Cloud Computing And Mobile Devices
When one thinks of managed networking services or even cloud services one rarely thinks of mobile devices like smart phones or tablets. In truth however smart mobile devices are everywhere and have become a major part of both our personal and professional lives. Businesses have already incorporated many different types of mobile devices into the network so that executives and even ground-level employees can access and transfer sensitive data between a business network and their mobile device.
While the incorporation of mobile devices into business is certainly exciting and convenient the IDC reports that 40% of IT decision makers allow their workers access to corporate information from employee owned personal devices and that 70% of employees indicate they access corporate networks through their devices regularly. The incorporation of mobile devices into business has become crucial to many companies which is why it's so very important to ensure that security risks are minimized and that productivity is maximized. The only way to ensure these things happen however is through a remote cloud service like the one we offer.
When you hire us to manage your networks and the mobile devices being used on them you will have the ability to:
