Networking & Security

Wireless Networks

The use of wireless networking, in both home and business environments, is rapidly gaining popularity. Wireless technology continues to improve and the cost of wireless products has decreased dramatically in the past year.

Just a few advantages of wireless networking include increased mobility and the elimination of unsightly cables. Various improvements in both wireless hardware and software have also made the initial setup of wireless connections easier.

While the initial setup of wireless connectivity has become more straightforward, what is often overlooked is the proper configuration of wireless security. Setting up wireless security with effective encryption can be quite complex and for this reason many forego what should be considered a necessity - wireless security. Leaving your connection unsecured allows intruders/hackers to access your network to:

*perform illegal activities using your connection.
* access your personal data from you computer (includes banking information, contents of your computer).
* use your resources to store illegal information which can then be shared on the internet.
* download or upload using your bandwidth which can drastically decrease your connection speed.

These are just a few of the things that malicious users can do with an unsecured network.

If you have access to a wireless laptop or a wireless signal finder, a short trip around your neighborhood would demonstrate just how easily accessible these networks have become.

Wired Networks

For most wired connections firewalls are the primary security consideration. Firewalls prevent unauthorized users from accessing your network. A properly configured hardware or software firewall can also provide increased security against worms (malicious programs that replicate themselves until they fill all of the storage space on a drive or network). Broadband routers also offer firewall capabilities built into the device and these are configurable through its own software.

Let our professionals setup your home network with proper security that will allow the sharing of your data among those on your network while restricting access to others.
