Businesses need to be proactive when it comes to protecting their critical business data

Network Security & Managed Firewall

Today businesses need to be proactive when it comes to protecting their critical business data.  Sophisticated techniques used by viruses and hackers can effortlessly halt business for hours or days.  Security risks can also be internal and lead to lost data or even crippled workstations or networks.

Be proactive and stay safe.  ITX provides proactive management of network perimeter security.  Comprehensive and affordable managed security solutions enables businesses to focus your resources on core operations - while maintaining peace-of-mind that your information assets are being watched over.  Our certified Network Security Analysts will proactively and routinely monitor your network.   We build secure firewalls, ensuring the safety of our critical data and vital communications.

Our Professional Security Solutions offer:



MANAGED FIREWALL

We build secure firewalls that ensure the safety of your critical data and vital communications.  Firewall management is available in a variety of configurations to secure your always-on broadband connection.  Firewalls are configured, installed, monitored and replaced upon failure.  This complete service provides for 24x7 monitoring and logging, unlimited policy changes, firewall updates, firewall activity reporting, and regularly scheduled vulnerability assessments. 

MANAGED INTRUSION DETECTION

Network-based intrusion detection software is strategically installed and configured to automatically protect your network against suspicious activity.  Recommended response scenarios are provided with each event notification.

MANAGED VPN

Virtual Private Network (VPN) management extends communication and connections to home users, remote workers, partners, and/or mobile users while ensuring the data being exchanged is safeguarded.  Our VPN solution covers all of the important features.  IPSec compatibility gives you interoperability with existing equipment.  DES or 3DES Encryption and SHA-1 or MD5 Authentication makes sure your data is safe in transit.

MANAGED ANTI-VIRUS

Anti-virus scanners are the front-line technology for preventing virus attacks.  Because anti-virus software is primarily a reactive measure against known threats, updating detection and policy enforcement plays a key role in meeting the latest threats and protecting networks from infection.  Updating your anti-virus software in the fastest time possible is the only way to minimize damage to your network.  Today's virus protection is all about time-to-protection, and by integrating this security feature with a firewall, additional safety can be provided with auto-enforcement and rapid e-mail attachment blocking.

SPAM FILTERING

Unlike most spam filtering solutions that use one or two spam-classification techniques, ITX employs hosted spam-filtering technology that aggregates the most effective spam filters and techniques in the industry - currently leveraging the strengths of five top spam-fighting filters.  No contract minimums required and can be provided on a month-to-month basis, thus providing the opportunity to implement a solution without a large initial investment for software, hardware, and administrative time to implement.

CONTENT FILTERING

Web content filtering enforces your Internet usage policy.  Prevent lost productivity:  Integrated with firewall management, this service provides confidence that employees are using the Internet for the benefit of the business and reduce corporate liability.

SECURITY POLICY DEVELOPMENT & REVIEW

A security policy is the administrative component of the controls that provide security to your organization.  It is a statement to both your business partners and employees that you consider a secure computing environment a priority in your organization.  ITX will review your existing security policy and collaborate with your management and technical teams to develop a customized policy. 

MANAGED BACKUP SERVICES & DISASTER RECOVERY

Managed data backup systems are a reliable and convenient data storage solution that enables businesses to simply and securely store all critical data while spending less money and administration time dealing with the implementation and management of the backup system.

Online backup systems are typically built around a software program that runs on a schedule, typically once a day. ITX’s Managed Backup Services (MBS) collects, compresses, encrypts, and transfers the data to the remote backup service provider's servers. In a nutshell, MBS provides a:

  • Fully automated process with backups stored on an appliance for quick file restoration
  • Sound basis for business continuity planning - whatever happens, your data is safe
  • Disaster recovery solution whereby secure and fully-encrypted data is transferred online to an offsite data center, ensuring regular backups are stored safely and remotely

PENETRATION TESTING

At ITX we consider penetration testing to be the capstone of any thorough security audit.  Penetration testing is the final validation of security controls that an organization has implemented.  A penetration test exposes security gaps and demonstrates the effectiveness of security controls.  We feel that penetration testing should be performed after you are reasonably confident in the security of your systems.
