Network Design

Secure Network Design

In today’s digital age, secure network design is a necessity for small businesses. We understand the unique challenges small businesses face and how crucial it is to prioritize cybersecurity into budget constraints.

We utilize state of the art, commercial hardware that is highly functional, affordable and durable. Like Cisco, you cannot purchase our network hardware at a local store. This inherently makes it unique and more secure than off the shelf hardware. Unlike Cisco, we can upgrade your entire office for 30% of the investment while deploying the same security protocols.

We currently protect over 250 sites in the Carefree and Cave Creek area. We have been protecting small businesses since 2004. Our systems automatically download updated protection files to keep your network safe from hackers and malicious software. Our multilevel security access is compliant with all merchant processing and HIPPA regulations. Break in’s, security and downtime are almost non-existent.

1. Protection Against Cyber Threats: Small businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to perceived vulnerabilities. A secure network design includes items like firewalls, encryption, VLAN (virtual networks), VPN (virtual private networks) and regular security updates to directly defend against threats like ransomware, phishing, and data breaches.
2. Safeguarding Sensitive Data: Small businesses often handle sensitive customer information, financial data, and proprietary information. A Secure network ensures your data is protected from unauthorized access, maintaining customer trust and complying with data protection regulations.
3. Business Continuity: Downtime caused by cyber incidents is most devastating for the small businesses. The resources to recover from a cyber incident is significant and immediate. There isn’t time to go get a loan. A resilient network design with backup solutions and disaster recovery plans ensures continuity of operations even in the face of disaster.
4. Cost-Effectiveness: We have reduced the upfront investment significantly to allow you to get ahead of a cyber-attack. The costs associated with recovering from cyber-attacks, data breaches, and downtime is always 200-700% higher. This is a proactive measure that mitigates potential financial losses.
5. Compliance Requirements: Many of our small business clients are subject to regulatory requirements regarding data protection and privacy. Secure network design helps ensure compliance with these regulations, avoiding penalties and reputational damage.
6. Support for Remote Work: With the rise of remote work, extending your network security to remote workers is critical. VPN’s are a good start but evaluating how and when company data is used (and recalled at a termination) is just as important. How is your data getting handled in the field?
7. Reputation and Trust: Building a strong reputation for security and trustworthiness is essential for small businesses to attract and retain customers. A secure network demonstrates your commitment to protecting sensitive information. Not having to communicate a ransomware attack or a data breach to your community keeps your business strong.
