Chicago Network Security Consulting


Are you constantly concerned that your network is vulnerable to unauthorized access or attack?

Agility's approach to our client's computer network systems is straight-forward: focus on technologies that are needed and protect those technologies. Agility's focus on protection and vulnerability management yields three major areas of concern: backup solutions, virus protection, internal, and perimiter (firewall/VPN) security.

Firewall protection is one of the most important pieces to the network vulnerability puzzle. Although your business may not be a target by any person or entity from a hacking standpoint; it is the untargeted, brute-force broadcasts that hackers unleash that cause problems most frequently. Some examples of stray packets found frequently in the logs of firewalls are Denial of Service Attacks, Pings of Death and Sub Seven attacks.

Firewalls keep you network protected from unauthorized access. When you connect a computer to the public internet, you immediately become vulnerable. Firewalls restrict network access to unauthorized users, but also unauthorized applications.

Although our firewall/wireless security recommendations are based on network types, number of users, additional services needed (such as Virtual Private Networks); many companies can be adequately protected at a fraction of the cost that is normally anticipated.

The majority of our staff experience and certifications are centered on appliance-based products such as Symantec®, Cisco PIX® or 3Com® products. Our server-based products include Microsoft Internet Security Accelerator Server® (ISA Server®) and Checkpoint® products.
