Anti-virus / anti-spyware software & security audits
Virus and spyware attacks are increasing and are no longer limited to email or floppy disks brought from home. Virus attacks enter through unpatched operating systems, shared network resources, incorrectly installed firewalls and poorly maintained anti-virus checkers.
The old rule of "never open messages from someone you don't know" no longer applies when the virus can forge trusted email addresses or if Outlook is set to open every message that it sees. Firewalls don't work if you have not downloaded every security patch that has been put out (sometimes quite quietly) and worms are coming in through ports left open by your operating system. Spyware loads itself up as part of seemingly innocuous and useful utilities that you or others download on to your computer or your network.
Vickery Consulting can help.
By auditing your system and what it is presently doing to protect you, Vickery Consulting will make recommendations for changes, updates and/or upgrades to your present anti-virus / anti-virus software and firewalls. Vickery Consulting will also ensure that the software is installed properly and updated appropriately, and that staff is trained in the use of the software.
To setup a initial consultation please call 604-681-4014 or email info@vickeryconsulting.ca.
