We group together a number of
issues relating to a companies computers and computer
networks as Network Security. Threats to security can
come from outside the business or from inside and Rhema
Information Services is in a position to help prevent
and correct both types.
Internal:
 In
most cases malicious activity can cause the greatest financial
damage but is the least often occurring internal threat.
Malicious activity, such as intentionally loading a virus
or attempting to destroy company data or steal copies
of company information can be limited through the use
of restrictive authority settings for most employees and
monitoring suspicious activities in server logs. Rhema
Information Services can also set alarms on server
log files to notify our technicians of suspicious behavior.
Following notification Rhema Information
Services can remotely lock the suspected computer
and notify company management to determine who is at the
computer in question as well as the purpose of the behavior.
Most security issues are the result of unintentional
employee activity. These are best combated with clearly
defined company policies regarding internet activity.
Regularly reminding employees not to open email attachments
or install downloaded programs. On the proactive side,
Rhema Information Services maintains
a watchful eye on antivirus and antispyware programs to
assure all program and definition updates are loaded as
well as ensure that all computers are running full scans
regularly.
External:
Hackers and other external threats
are proactively dealt with through the use of quality,
updated firewalls. Rhema Information
Services maintains updated research files on firewall
hardware and software. This allows us to quickly review
existing setups for each new customer and make security
recommendations where necessary. Installing and monitoring
intrusion detection software also allows Rhema
Information Services to quickly react to any intrusion
occurrence should the firewall be breached.
Software License Audit:
Disgruntled employees are regularly known to contact
authorities and report software license abuses. Rhema
Information Services performs annual software audits
for companies allowing them to proactively prove due diligence
on their part. A record is taken of every piece of software
loaded on every company computers and servers. This list
is cross referenced to all software licenses held by the
company. Business software can be pricey, this service
ensures the company is buying enough copies, while not
wasting money on unused copies.
