IT security

All of our solutions have network security tools, so you can enforce a rigorous and protective security policy to provide control, manageability and mitigation of risk.

Proportional and manageable network security elements should be embedded in any network design. At Opal, we have years of specialist security experience to help you determine the right response for your business.

Ideal if…

• You have a network and use it for business.
• Your IT network team are not security specialists, but your company is required to meet minimum levels of security for regulatory purposes.
• You want to mitigate the risks associated with theft of data.
• You want to reduce the risks associated with malicious software, whilst retaining the productivity benefits of business critical applications like email and web browsing.
• You need to protect your business from online attacks and unauthorised access to company information.
• Your business is reliant on stored data or network connectivity.
• You want to protect staff productivity from external denial of service attacks.
• You need a greater degree of visibility and control over what your users are doing.

Filtering: WebController controls inappropriate web use and offers web filtering:

Compliant: face up to regulatory scrutiny, and the need to conform to minimum security standards, or face business penalties, fines or litigation. Officers of limited companies, for example, are personally liable to litigation arising from any lack of control over the appropriateness of materials downloaded from the web using company facilities, including people working from home.

Reputation: denial of service attacks can put productivity at risk, business can be threatened by disgruntled staff or contractors stealing data and business reputation and share price can be negatively impacted by outages, hacking and loss of customer data.
