Security
Computer Security brings to mind a number of well know problems: viruses, spyware, spam, worms, pop-ups and identity theft. TechOnline addresses these problems with a comprehensive multi-layered Security service covering:
- Personal Firewall software
- Antivirus software
- Anti-spyware software
- Windows critical updates
- Use of authenticated Windows user accounts
- Controlled computer access
In recent times viruses, worms and Trojans have been receiving increasing media attention. This increased attention is for good reason – the number of malicious attacks from such unwanted visitors is exponentially rising (according to CERT – the global Internet security reporting centre operated by Carnegie Mellon University in the USA and supported by the local AUSCERT 2004 Survey). And these attacks are more virulent – in that they can spread to millions of computers and users in a matter of hours and bring down whole networks.

A lot of people think they are already secure because they have firewall, antivirus or anti-spyware software installed but, unfortunately, their perceived security is not a reality. Having only some of the right software that is updated only some of the time and not knowing what problems are being detected - is far from secure.
Real security involves selecting the right software, installing it, configuring it correctly, routinely updating as required and ongoing monitoring to assess any problems that are detected. In addition, it requires computer access security and good user practices.
The TechOnline Security solution, offers leading firewall, antivirus, anti-spyware , anti-spam software that is installed, fully configured, updated daily, and monitored to ensure ongoing performance. In addition, Windows patch management is provided to ensure that Windows is kept up to date with the latest security patches at all times.
