Keeping our clients' valuable data secure and confidential and the their servers running at top speed is crucial to the success of their bottom line.

As an Internet and Web Service Provider we are very cognizant of the insecure nature of the Internet. We have numerous security practices in place, such as:
Security coded into the border routers for IP address spoofing
Firewalls placed at strategic locations throughout the network.
We have several hardware firewalls such as Cisco PIX, NetGear, Sonicwall, and others.
Network Intrusion Detection devices to detect suspicious activity
Daily scanning of key servers by an independent organization ("HackerSafe.com") for the latest vulnerabilities for all our operating systems i.e. Windows, Linux, etc.
Applying vendor security patches promptly as and when they are announced. For example we just upgraded over 60 Windows servers yesterday with the latest Windows security patches.
Ensuring that our system administrators and technicians are up to date with the latest security techniques and issues.
