An Innovative Approach to Managed Network Security
By Jill Bauerle
New document management system? Case management upgrade? Forget about it. Most likely, your IT staff is swamped with network security issues ranging from tracking intrusion attacks to cleaning spam to rooting out spyware to stopping worms (to name just a few). To deal with these problems at the network level, they likely manage a rack of different boxes, each of which can handle a specific type of security threat, but together cannot handle new complex and "blended" threats. To get your IT staff focused back on what your firm really needs to practice law, look no further than Network Box, which provides "outsourced unified threat management" via a single network security appliance and an accompanying off-site 24/7 security management service. In other words, just one "box" managed by the security professionals at Network Box's Operations Centers handles all your network security needs no matter how complex, and keeps your IT staff fully apprised of your network's health. The appliance also provides your firm with a VPN for secure remote access. Best of all, Network Box includes its appliance free of charge with your surprisingly low monthly subscription fee. When Network Box detects an intrusion or suspicious traffic behavior, it can repel it immediately. With everything in one appliance, no time is wasted communicating among multiple devices, and more importantly your IT staff need not read through reams of log files trying to figure it out by hand. Just as impressively, Network Box updates every security appliance it monitors worldwide within 45 seconds on average after learning about a new threat, such as the latest worm. You can choose the level of on-site control that you want to maintain, plus you'll have access to a plethora of reports -- securely online from anywhere. For law firms, Network Box has several appliance options depending on the size and complexity of your network, such as the SME-250, which supports 10-75 users, or the RG-400, which supports hundreds of users. Network Box's security services include anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware, content filtering, intrusion detection and prevention, firewall, and VPN services. Learn more about Network Box.
