Internet Security
    

Reliable company-wide broadband connections to the Internet have become business essentials. But with this full-time access comes the danger of hackers, viruses and other security compromises like denial of service attacks. Listed below are some of the services Bluebird Technologies offers to make sure your network is protected from these threats.

Internet Connectivity

We arrange and install Internet connectivity solutions such as T1 or fractional T1 lines, Frame Relay, cable modem or wireless through the services of telecommunications carriers and national Internet Service Providers.

Security

Firewalls: Once connected to the Internet, your network must be protected from intrusion. Firewalls represent the best first line of defense. These devices control the type of Internet traffic that is allowed into your network as well as providing VPN capability, content filtering and control over web site access. But your firewall is only as effective as the person who con-figured it. At Bluebird Technologies we understand firewalls.

Virus Protection: It's not a question of if you will be attacked by viruses, it's a question of when. We provide automated solutions to protect both servers and workstations from virus infection thereby ensuring network integrity.

Security Updating: Software and hardware manufacturers are constantly releasing patches/fixes and firmware upgrades to provide protection against the ever present threat from hackers and intruders. We will keep you informed of these security updates and make sure they are implemented in your network environment when and where necessary.

Vulnerability Scanning: This service provides a "hacker's eye view" of a network perimeter which includes public servers, routers, gateways and the remote side of VPN connections. A report is generated detailing security weaknesses and solutions on how to address these risks.

Virtual Private Networks

A VPN is a private network that's built within a public or shared IP structure -- the Internet. Through the Internet we can create secure private connections from home to office, LAN to LAN, mobile user to LAN, etc. This provides remote, traveling and telecommunicating workers access to central network resources like files, email, calendars and applications. A VPN is more flexible and less expensive than solutions based on dedicated private circuits.
