Understanding network security is one of the essential challenges facing businesses. To say security is to say mitigation. A secure network is a network where all the possibilities have been considered and decisions have been taken to mitigate those threats perceived to be most likely to affect operations. BeechTree offers a wide variety of tools and plans that can help you mitigate your risks. Security Audit There are hundreds--if not thousands--of techniques used to compromise computer networks. Malicious code and new exploit scripts are released on a daily basis, and each evolution becomes more and more sophisticated. Keeping up with the myriad of systems used by hackers is a formidable task, and scrambling to patch each potential vulnerability or address each new attack one-by-one is not practical or cost effective. As a business owner or manager, the pressure is on you to defend your systems from attack. But short of devoting your life to becoming a security expert, what can you do to ensure the safety of your mission critical systems? Where do you start? BeechTree's comprehensive Network Security Assessment offers an efficient approach to create proactive defensive strategies to protect your systems from the threats that are out there, as well as those still being developed.

Patch Management Patch management is an administrative process whose goal is to provide a consistently configured environment that is protected against known vulnerabilities. Simply stated, it is the process of patching "holes" that are inherent in most of the popular operating system. These exploits offer malware writers and hackers a path which they can enter a system or systems and do their mischief. Staying on top of available patches is critical in order to ensure system integrity. Many of the top virus, trojan and worm infections of the recent past have exploited known vulnerabilities in operating systems; vulnerabilities that had patches available, but not installed. Don't be caught off guard. BeechTree will help you institute a plan to make certain you're as protected as you can be. © 2006 Beechtree IT Solutions, Inc.
