Unified Communications Solutions

A computer network provides communication and enables the sharing of information to multiple users within a network. Effective network security technologies operate across several layers to protect your network as a whole against potential threats. In addition, modern networking solutions often integrate telephone systems and video conferencing capabilities to enhance collaboration. Networking and security encompass three main areas: administrative, technical, and physical.

Administrative network security manages the level of access for each user within the network. Processes and policies are established to limit or allow access and control each user’s behavior on the network. This security framework also regulates the extent of changes the IT staff can implement within the network infrastructure, including aspects related to telephone systems and video conferencing.

By conducting a thorough examination of your staff's current access to network security, we can design and implement a plan that minimizes costly downtime while enhancing the security of your telephone systems and video conferencing capabilities.

Technical network security safeguards the data within the network, ensuring that sensitive information is protected. This type of network security not only prevents data from being maliciously corrupted from within the network but also ensures that secure information, such as that related to telephone systems and video conferencing, does not leave the network without proper authorization.

By partnering with AVG and other robust security protocols, we enhance network security while protecting your business endpoints, email, and network from threats such as ransomware, spam, phishing, and Zero-Day attacks. This comprehensive business cybersecurity solution allows you to manage everything from a single pane of glass, all while ensuring seamless integration with your telephone systems and video conferencing tools.

Physical network security controls are implemented to prevent unauthorized personnel from accessing network components, such as routers and telephone systems. For instance, by utilizing Facility Management equipment, access to cable cupboards and video conferencing tools can be restricted to only those who truly require it.

Network security is crucial in networking, as it ensures that your internal infrastructure, including telephone systems and video conferencing tools, operates smoothly. When an attacker gains access to sensitive systems due to a network security vulnerability, the consequences can extend beyond stealing customer data. They can disrupt your operations significantly. 

For instance, consider the impact of a ransomware attack within the traditional network security framework. A hacker only needs to introduce their chosen ransomware into any part of your network to isolate that area, including its resources, from the rest of your system. Even if just one computer is compromised, the ripple effect could halt operations for an unpredictable duration, damaging trust in your organization both internally and externally.
