Bundled Network Security Gaining Prominence Among Gujarat Smes
Feb 28th
Increasing incidences of cyber attacks and security threats are propelling SMEs in Gujarat to strengthen their network by deploying advanced security solutions. Growing realisation of the need to protect crucial data from being lost or hacked is leading to the rise in trend of installing bundled network security products among small-scale firms in the state. This trend, in turn, is also prompting global as well as domestic security service providers to turn their attention to the SME segment in Gujarat. Benefits of UTMs Ensuring security of IT systems has become a priority for most SMEs in Gujarat and therefore they are showing a preference for bundled products or unified threat management (UTM) products rather than making stray purchases of network security products. “The complete range of security features such as firewall, gateway antivirus and anti-spyware, gateway anti-spam, intrusion prevention system and content filtering with the installation of UTM appliances help companies secure their network and prevent loss of crucial data and software piracy,” said S Shah, manager at Creative Infotech, a small-sized IT firm in Ahmedabad. Besides, the visible surge in demand for UTM appliances, burgeoning demand for remote office security solution, especially SSL and VPN, is also encouraging security service providers to cater to the requirements of the SME segment. “Deployment of security products and UTM appliances will not only help SMEs in Gujarat to safeguard their systems against cyber attacks but also help them to function smoothly and increase their efficiency and competence,” said N Pathak, proprietor of Neelhard Corporation, a small-sized IT firm in Kolkata. Trouble-free installation process, troubleshooting ease and easy usability also make bundled network security solutions a hit among SMEs in Gujarat.

Simple Yet Effective Tips For Writing A Network Security Policy
Feb 27th
If you want to keep your network running then that is a hardware issue.
If you want to keep that network under any kind of control then that is a personnel issue.
When the age of the internet began there arose a group of people – hackers – who made it their goal to break into computer networls for many a reason.
The word ‘hacker’ has many connotations and meanings, the original of which was not negative at all.
For the purpose of this article, though, assume that a hacker is a bad guy; someone who would break into a network to deface it or to steal information.
Now, the sad truth is that you cannot ever hope to fully 100% protect your network from these guys – they are now well skilled, motivated, well informed and have financial backing and this gives them a competitive edge over you.
You can, however, reduce the risks to your network by controlling the human element your end via a network security policy.
Here are some simple but effective tips for creating such a network security policy -
1. Clarity is king.
When writing a policy it is important to communicate why certain decisions have been made. When your employees understand why something is so they are far more likely to comply with your wishes.
2. Everyone is not equal.
If your network security policy is written in a background of paranoia then everyone will have a ridiculously high level of security applied to their work. This can encourage essential sharing of resources to be accomplished through employees sharing their login details or leaving their workstations switched on for others to view. Not good!
3. Hardware evaluation.

When you choose to do so, you will be able to protect your company as well as the trade secrets that play such a huge part in your company’s operations.

This is the only way you will be able to arm yourself of the dangers that come from intrusions in your company’s mainframe and network.
The moment you decide to protect your business from external forces, you will be able to eradicate several trade risks that may endanger your business. Among one of the top threats that small business owners face is that they have a false sense and concept of security. As a result of this, they are unable to proficiently protect their networks.

However, they do not realize that by pushing down the importance of their network security, they are prolonging the issue. At often times, it will be too late for them to deal with these issues because their business has been largely affected by the intrusions they could have otherwise prevented.
