Better Safe Than Sorry

Security Services

As an online company, we understand the significance of system and network security. Besides, isn’t it better to be safe than sorry?

Scenario 1
You’re staying late at work, collating some data for tomorrow’s meeting when you look on helplessly through the window and watch as someone bypasses parking garage security, breaks into your car, pilfers your audio system and navigation unit, and, just for good measure, fills your gas tank with a bag of sugar.

Scenario 2
You sit comfortably in your office knowing your vehicle is in good hands as an advanced security system detects suspicious behavior outside of the garage, reports activity to local authorities, and, for good measure, regularly monitors neighborhood trends to alert you of increased criminal activity in the area.

Which scenario would you choose?

At Level2Designs, we treat your network like your vehicle in scenario 2, proactively scanning your system for anomalies and vulnerabilities from spyware, (this link is to wiki, but I think it would look better if instead of a link, we could just mouse over the word spyware and have a popup definition) malware, and suspicious email content. Oh, did we mention that we also provide top-of-the-line assistance with firewalls, access control, email security, and perform regular security audits?

How We Protect You

Firewalls: A firewall is your first line of defense and, if configured correctly, should be the last. Firewalls prevent unauthorized users from accessing private networks. There are many approaches possible to ensure this security, and we offer hardware and software solutions to ensure that your firewall is one bad mother.

Spyware: It wouldn’t have “spy” in its title if were up to any good. This dangerous software is capable of monitoring users’ behavior, installing additional software, accessing sensitive material, and redirecting activities, just to name a few of its most serious offenses. We ensure spyware doesn’t infiltrate your network and cause irreparable harm.

Malware: The “mal” in malware comes from malicious; “mal” also translates to “bad” en espanol. Translation: malware = not good. Specifically, malware is simply malicious software designed to infiltrate a system or network without the owner’s (read: your) permission. Good thing we’re not going to let that happen. Level2Designs protects your system from trojans, rootkits, worms, horses, spyware, and dishonest adware, and any other form of malware that’s out there.

Access Control: This service will apply a strict rule-set to your files and website that will guarantee only your employees have access to secure information. Access control will not only block outside users from this content, but also block employees that should not have access to privileged information. We’re sort of like an internet club bouncer, except we won’t let anyone bribe us with a $20 bill so they can sneak through the back.

Email Security: Email security will provide multiple layers of options to protect your network. From filtering content to encrypting content sensitive messages and even digitally signing your email so the recipient knows that you sent it. Other areas include blocking malicious traffic, and enforcing policy controls that you have set in place.

Security Audit: Security Audits are technical assessments, both manual and systematic, of your systems and applications. While they include vulnerability scans, they also involve reviews of application and OS access controls and analysis of physical access to the system. Our staff will perform these audits to make sure your system is equipped with optimal protection and is running as smoothly as possible.

Intrusion Detection System: Intruder alert! An IDS is used to detect several types of malicious behavior that can compromise the security and trust of a computer system. This includes, but is not limited to, attacks to your network, data driven attacks on applications, host based attacks, unauthorized logins, and access to sensitive files from unwanted users. If some devious program (or user) attempts to compromise the security of your network, leveltwo’s state-of-the-art IDS will find the perpetrator and inform you immediately. See? Sometimes it’s good to be a tattletale.

Vulnerability Scanning: Level2Desings will scan your systems for potential vulnerabilities that can exist. With the results of this evaluation, we will correct any errors that appear to ensure your system is protected and secure. So we actually scan for potential problems before they happen… Whoa!

Website Auditing: A website audit allows Level2Designs to provide you with valuable information. The results of a website audit will reveal the quality of your site’s performance, if the technology of your site is being used to its highest potential, and how easily users can find your site on the internet. Through this information, Level2Designs will guarantee that your website will reach its fullest potential.

Virtual Private Network: A Virtual Private Network (or VPN) is an extremely useful tool for many businesses. By creating a VPN for your company, Level2Designs will allow your users to access information securely between offices, from home, and while in mobile locations. We will create an overall VPN functionality that will benefit your entire user community.

Network Access Control: Our belief is that the control of your network should be in your hands. By providing pre-admission security checks and post-admission controls on user permissions, we give you the power to determine the level of access users have to your network.
