Data protection

Guarding your data

 

According to the DTI Security Breaches Survey, 87 percent percent of large businesses reported suffering a security breach in the last year with the average cost of severe breaches being £90,000. 65 percent reported staff misuse of information systems while 43 percent reported malicious code infections. Businesses are faced with a growing number of both internal and external threats from hacking and viruses to distributed denial of service attacks The result is a pressing requirement to protect business critical information while continuing to enable use of the Internet for mobility and flexible access.

 

Building security into the heart of the network

Today’s intelligent networks include a large number of security and network monitoring functions which offer varying levels of protection against attack. ntl:Telewest Business can ensure that security concerns are built into the heart of the network from the LAN Foundation upwards to access control. Business critical information can be protected while continuing to allow use of the Internet for mobility and flexible access. Network security must be pervasive and integrated into the fabric of the network infrastructure itself. The network becomes the main point of control for preventing and responding to security threats, helping to ensure information privacy, protect against threats, and control access to corporate resources.

 

Putting security policies into practice

Self-Defending Networks integrate security intelligence into the network, protecting corporate assets while using the existing network infrastructure and containing the total cost of ownership. Network Admission Control (NAC) uses the network infrastructure to enforce security policy compliance on all devices seeking to access network computing resources, thereby limiting damage from emerging security threats. Traditional security solutions, such as antivirus and intrusion detection systems (IDSs) can be combined with intrusion prevention systems, converged endpoint security and policy compliance.
