Hackers Hit News Headline

Cyber Attacks aren’t just a thing of science fiction any more, as this recent eWeek news article highlights they’re a real and current threat – but it isn’t just Governments that need to be careful any more.

Imagine what would happen to your business if your website were compromised or your email hacked. Whether it is a “script kiddie” in Russia or one of your major competitors, it could have a serious impact on your business.

There are of course some standard precautions you can take, such as ensuring your passwords are complex and not easily guessable (no dates of birth, kids names or registration numbers for example) but even hard to guess passwords can now be cracked by brute force in a matter of days, and then there are the operating system bugs which can inadvertently leave a back door open for a hacker.

How much would your business lose if your web site and emails were offline for a day? How much would you lose if it took a week to recover? Not just the loss of revenue, but also the costs of cleaning and rebuilding your web presence! Do you have backups or is everything you own on the server?

In order to help alleviate some of these terrors, FidoNet has teamed up with Cisco to provide ASA 5505 dedicated firewalls for your servers at sensible prices. From just £25/mo plus VAT (setup £250) we can install a fully managed, dedicated Cisco “Advanced Security Appliance” in front of your server to protect your internet presence.
