It's vital that you take the threat of attack seriously and protect your business against the increasing number of worms, viruses, and malicious attackers. The solutions you should consider include:

• Anti-Virus systems
• Firewalls
• Securing your computer and network infrastructure
• Proactively deploying patches and updates
• Managing the access rights of users and computers

Air-IT has the expertise to help you in this vital task. Our consultants know what it takes to help secure your IT systems and will carry out a free security audit to help you understand the steps you need to take to be fully IT secure.

Once we have completed the audit and identified security weaknesses, we offer a wide range of products and services including:

Anti-Virus Systems

We can implement an anti-virus system that will provide your business with the maximum available security level. Through regular virus updating and monitoring we can help to ensure that you never let your guard slip.

We offer anti-virus protection by Avast (Microsoft recommended), a global leader in virus protection systems from the desktop to the server.

Firewall Solutions

It's false economy for a smaller company to skimp on security. And, as we have seen many times, too little security can be worse than no security at all: the business that simply implements a minimal firewall and forgets it, has a false sense of security and is an easy target for unexpected attack.

We recommend SonicWALL's TZ line of Internet security appliances, which have been specifically designed for the small business market and deliver enterprise-class security at a small business price.
