Taking the Risk Out of Managing Your Network
If the servers are running, e-mails are accessible and customers aren't complaining about identity theft — companies logically assume that their security measures, however informal, are working. This false sense of security is exactly what hackers and identity thieves prey on.

The truth of the matter is that networks of all sizes are vulnerable to attacks and security threats 24/7/365. Spyware, worms and viruses don't discriminate. If there is a way into your network, they will find it and you may, or may not, know about it. Although the short-term impact to your business is obvious, the long-term impact is what really keeps us up at night.

Security breaches and other malicious attacks not only take down the network and compromise your company's data and your customers' privacy, they can ruin your company's reputation. With competition around every corner, and new laws mandating the disclosure of data theft to affected consumers, news like this travels fast. So what should you do?

Depending on the level of IT support you have on hand, you may try to safeguard your network by deploying highly publicized software upgrades and security patches. If you have a bit more technical sophistication, you may even install a firewall to protect drive-by prowlers and wireless network spies. That's good, but it is not good enough. You must take comprehensive steps to proactively manage your network day-in and day-out. Especially when it comes to managing security risks and network vulnerabilities.

The number of cyberattacks launched each day on businesses just like yours is staggering. That is why it comes as no surprise that reducing network security risks and managing vulnerabilities is fast becoming the leading concern for today's business owners and IT administrators. For example, did you know when a manufacturer issues a patch or upgrade to an existing software, the "new code" they just released is likely to be hacked or compromised and another point of entry established within one hour. It’s a scary statistic, but with the bad news, comes good news. And there is good news.

Experts say that nearly 99 percent of all security intrusions are the result of known vulnerabilities and configuration errors within a network's software applications. That means 99 percent of today's network security breaches are preventable. How is that possible? By utilizing CPR for Security Assessments, Intrusion Detection Services and Proactive Monitoring.

Security Assessments, ProView Remote Monitoring and Incident Response are just a few ways CPR assists customers in the assessment, monitoring and protection of their infrastructure.
