The Importance of Network Security for Your Business

Cyber-threats are a modern concern, but they are one that every business with an online presence should take seriously. Having strong network security will protect your business from potential threats and result in unparalleled online safety. Netcon Solutions supplies businesses with hardware and support services that allows a business to convert to IP telephony and VOIP, routing and switching LAN/WAN, wireless, and network security.

Any business that relies on an online website needs to protect themselves from potential threats. An online store must always ensure that their website is active and displaying their products and services. Any downtime is lost profits and can hurt their image. Hackers are unpredictable and you never know when your network will be compromised. Having high quality network security will protect you from potential DDoS attacks and other forms of network manipulation.

While the term hacker will sound cliché, a hacker can be represented by any type of attack. In short, a hacker uses their computer skills to break into a company through company accounts, network flaws, through brute force, all in an effort to steal company information or to disrupt the flow of their business. Having strong network security will prevent your network from being ravaged by outside threats.

Most security breaches are caused by weaknesses in a company’s network and their failure to protect company accounts. Sometimes employees will use obvious passwords, simplifying the job of a hacker. Other times, a network will be completely exposed by software updates, website updates, and other changes that highlight network weaknesses. Hiring a talented team to manage your network security will stop these weaknesses from becoming major problems.
