Have you ever wondered just how secure your network is? Hopefully you've installed your firewall, which out of the box comes configured in a secure manner, but since then what access have you opened to services, and what new security issues have arisen? NetThreat's new vulnerability scanning service provides you with peace of mind, or, the information you need to resolve any security 'holes' that may exist into your network from the outside world.

Provided through one of the world's leading PCI PEN testing organisations, our new xStorm service runs from servers hosted at RandomStorm data centres. Customers simply schedule scans via a simple to use web interface and xStorm produces an automated security assessement report. This scan can then be scheduled to run as regularly as you desire over the next 12 months, or run every time an update or upgrade is made to your systems.

"We have for some time been searching for a solution to network security testing. It has been critical to find an independent, cost-effective solution to recommend to our customers and partners....This partnership with RandomStorm, one of the leading UK Perimeter Vulnerability Scanners enables us to provide the perfect solution, with what we feel is a suitable balance between a decent level of service and it's cost." Jon Rayment

 
 
 
 

The SonicWALL WAN Acceleration Appliance (WXA) Series reduces application latency and conserves bandwidth, significantly enhancing WAN application performance and user experience for small- to medium-sized organizations with remote and branch offices. After initial data transfer, the WXA Series dramatically reduces all subsequent traffic by transmitting only new or changed data across the network. The WXA de-duplicates data traversing the WAN, thus reducing application latency and conserving bandwidth. Other acceleration features include data caching, metadata caching and data-in-flight compression.

WXA solutions are hardware add-ons to SonicWALL E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA) and NSA appliances that are deployed as Next-Generation Firewalls. This solution streamlines the placement, deployment, configuration, routing, management and integration of WXA with other components, such as VPNs. When deployed in conjunction with SonicWALL Application Intelligence and Control Service, the WXA offers the unique combined benefit of both prioritising application traffic (using QoS or bandwidth management) and minimising traffic between sites, resulting in optimal network performance.
 
 

The first half of 2011 was an unsettling time for network administrators and business owners alike, with a series of data protection / identity fraud issues hitting the headlines. The most public of these being sucessfull attempts by hackers to gain authentication information from the Sony Playstation network. Many of us I'm sure breathed a sigh of relief that we are not involved in running a multi-national, multi-billion dollar organisation likely to be the target of a specific attack against our networks, however, as recommendations for users to change their passwords began to arise, the knockon threat against our own business's security became clear.

The security of the vast majority of SMB networks in the UK is based upon an 8 character combination of letters and, if you're lucky, numbers. Generally these are chosen by our users, so they are easily memorable to them, and changed as irregularly and as little as possible, to avoid the nightmare of dealing with forgotten passwords! Since these recent headline security breeches, how many of us are sure that none of our staff or customers are using the same login details to gain access to our networks...? And if they have been changed, how many have simply had new numbers pinned onto the end?

KnowWho solves the issue of identity fraud / data loss for your business, by simply removing your reliance on this memorised password and instead replacing it with a random code, used only once and then replaced, to ensure that login is unique, and can never be used again.

Contact us now for more information about this technology, We can easily set up a free trial to demonstrate how simple the solution is, so that next time a breech hits the news, we can be sure access to our network remains unaffected.
