Computer MD has the expertise to help make sure your data, identity, and/or business "secrets" are not compromised. Computer MD can implement security devices, software and methods to ensure the highest level of protection against common and unknown threats.
We offer help with:
- Virus & Spyware Protection
Virus Protection is NOT Enough! Antivirus software comes installed on many PCs, and most people think that it protects them completely from Internet-borne threats. But virus protection is only as good as the latest virus definitions, which are created in response to the latest viruses. It's a game that the hackers always win, in a sense; someone (potentially many thousands of people) must be infected before the makers of antivirus software can create a defense. Antivirus software does nothing to secure your computer against direct hacker attacks.
- Identity Theft & Prevention
Hello, my password is password. Identity theft can occur for either private individuals or business people by failing to employ best practices with computer security. There are specific things that every computer user should do to ensure they are not a target or victim. View our 10 security tips.
- Dangerous Websites
Proactively block access to malicious websites. Spyware, phishing, and
virus-infected Web sites are a nightmare. Many firewall devices feature
Web content management. Keep your users safe and productive. Powerful
URL filtering will solidify your Unified Threat Management solution.
- Firewalls & Security Analysis
Without a firewall, your computer is operating under an "open door" policy. Bank account information, passwords, credit card numbers, documents and photos that you don't want to share with the world are all available to anyone with bad intentions and basic computer skills. Hackers can get in, take what they want, and even leave open a "back door" so they can use it to attack other computers. Every minute that your computer is connected to the Internet, either through a dial-up (modem) connection or through a broadband (DSL or cable) service, it is at risk.
- Security Testing & Evaluation
More is required than just having a firewall! Even with the best intentions and security practices, testing the security of your computers and network is essential. Many computer security compromises are caused by Malware disguised as something else. Hackers can use simple techniques such as scanning the network to see if there is an easy way in rather than a Trojan approach.
Security testing should be an on-going practice. This is especially true when there are changes to the computer systems (such as computer replacement) and primarily due to the continuous advances of hacker technology. Frequent security penetration testing should be performed on a regular basis.
What you can do: Run anti-virus software, establish software and hardware firewalls and have external professionals perform security audits. REPEAT these three steps.
