Reduce Security Risks To Your Network – Khipu Can Cure!
June 2010 by Marc Jacob
These 2 factors alone can control many IT Departments priorities when dealing with Network security. However, often “Murphy’s Law” dictates that the cost of not taking action may be considerably more than the initial outlay.
Khipu Networks, a security solutions provider, have a unique offering that enables organisations to not only secure their networks but also provide complete visibility, control and management of every device connected into them. The solution cannot guarantee a virus will never be seen again, but it can ensure the impact is reduced, quickly controlled and rectified within hours (and not days), with minimal IT resources required.
Recently a large University campus experienced the unfortunate attack of a virus crippling their network and causing IT staff to shut it down. Staff had to manually vet machines are safe and updated before they can connect to the network. Staff and students have been considerably disrupted for hours and some for days, services affected included the residential / campus data networks and the VoIP network.
Perhaps even worse, it could all happen again tomorrow with another vulnerability!
Khipu Networks deliver unique solutions which provide far more benefit than purely reducing the impact of a virus attack. One of their most common solutions is the integration between Adaptive Network Security and Threat Prevention technologies.
