Network Security
Protecting data residing on computers and traveling across networks from theft and malicious destruction is a major undertaking. Identifying weaknesses and closing holes to network hackers requires skill and knowledge of the plethora of available network security products. Some network security products are hardware-based known as security appliances, such as firewalls, while others are software monitoring programs installed on computers, such as anti-spam and anti-virus programs. Our security consultants can help single out the products and methods that will serve your needs. Once your network security components are installed, they are configured to maximize protection.
Virtual Private Networks (VPN) and Remote Access
VPN is the technology used today to connect geographically diverse sites, campuses and offices. Installed properly, a VPN will make a remote office hundreds of miles away appear as if it is part of the local network. Thus, remote access to distant sites is seamless. The data carrier for Virtual Private Networks is the Internet. That said, a deep understanding of Wide Area Networks {WAN} and network security is required to implement this technology. Avatar VPN specialists will plan and implement a VPN strategy and network for you.
