Internet Security Hampshire

Making your business communications safer and more efficient

The Internet has given businesses massive potential to communicate profitably. But with that potential come equal risks to your efficiency, and even to the fundamental security of your business. There are ways to maximise the potential and minimise the risks.

Spam and Unsolicited Mail

Some 90% of all e-mail traffic on the internet is spam or other unwanted communications. That means your staff could be spending up to 90% of the time and attention you pay them to devote to your business dealing with irrelevant e-mails.

It’s not their fault, or yours, but it’s a fact of business life. At best it is time-consuming, annoying, and clogs the flow of essential business. At worst it is dangerous, increasing the risk of malware, spyware, adware and viruses infiltrating your system with potentially disastrous results.

The proliferation of spam, and of the dangers it poses – either through criminal intent or simply careless or inexperienced handling - is an international problem that all modern businesses, large and small, have to face.

SYNERGY can provide a choice of levels of protection to suit your needs, from spam and virus protection for your existing system to full off-site “scrubbing” of emails before they reach you. Even the highest levels of monitoring and protection can be put in place with delivery delays of less than one second.

We can protect your system from infection, and free your internet bandwidth for you and your staff to get on with your real business.

Web Browser Content Management

Unauthorised or unregulated staff use of your business internet service to browse the web during work time reduces business efficiency and could also make your organisation vulnerable to “phishing” attacks and other security breaches. A recent Government survey reveals that 80% of web users are unable to successfully identify phishing sites, and any member of your staff could unwittingly expose your organisation to criminal appropriation of valuable and sensitive data.

Companies who allow staff to use the office internet during lunch hours (or during working hours) without adequate controls and protection can suffer hours, or days, of expensive downtime when malware or Trojans are inadvertently downloaded.

In the age of universal internet access, every business should develop an internet use policy, inform its staff of the rules, and back them with management systems to ensure web access remains within the limits you set.

SYNERGY can provide fully customisable Web Site Content Management to block unauthorised use and keep your staff efficient and focused during working hours. A full range of Browser Content Management options is available, based on off-site or on-site hardware, ranging from simple set up solutions to fully customisable systems tailored to individual user specifications.
