Symmetry offers a free, no obligation data and network security and business continuity assessment (a $497 value).
During your assessment, Symmetry will perform a high-level audit of your entire network to look for potential problems, security loopholes, spyware and other hidden problems that will cause computers on your network to run slow, act funny, crash and lose data.
During this assessment we will:
- Review your system backups to make sure they are working properly and CAN be restored quickly in the event of a disaster.
- Check for security updates and patches to validate that your network really IS secure.
- Review your network and security settings.
- Check the integrity of your server and workstations hardware. (Side note: Did you know that hardware failure is one of the leading causes of data loss that CAN be detected early and avoided with proper monitoring?)
- Assess your virus definitions and protection.
- Conduct a visual scan of your server room and cabling to make sure your network is PHYSICALLY safe and set up properly.
- Check your overall system performance, space and settings to see if your network is running as fast as it could be.
- Make remediation recommendations.
Why Should You Care About This?
Because there are literally dozens of ways hackers and viruses can – undetected – gain access to and remotely control your network, corrupt your data and use your network as a conduit for spreading spam, viruses and even illegal software.
There are numerous system checks and updates that should be done on a regular basis to ensure maximum speed, performance and security. Ignore them and your system will get progressively slower, more unstable and susceptible to viruses, spyware, and hackers. Tape backups have a failure rate of 100%, that means all tape drives will fail at some point, often without warning. Using an external hard drive isn’t much better. They still go bad, and they are low and difficult to restore. With Cloud only backup solutions, you run the risk of not being able to quickly access data if your hardware and applications are damaged or inaccessible, increasing the costs from downtime. You don’t want to find out that your backup was not working the day after your hard drive fried.
