Security and Firewalls

Our engineers have experience of installing many Checkpoint, Watchguard, Cisco and many other firewalls into small and medium sized companies. Firewalls are the link from your business network to the Internet. To ensure that your business systems are secure from the Internet you must ensure that you have a firewall that is appropriate for your network. From global VPN's to an entry level firewall for a small company we ensure your business data is safe. With a complete security audit and anti-virus and anti spam services, we have a complete security solution for your business.

Many businesses require connectivity to the server from many locations - remote office, home office, intra/inter office or mobile laptop users - AEC can enable this through the use of VPN’s, allowing for seamless, secure and user-friendly access.

To dial directly into the company network it can create large phone bills for long distance or long calls. But using ADSL and a fixed monthly price it is now possible to use the Internet to connect to your business network. This is a much more cost effective way to dial into your business server. Using encryption technologies the link is completely secure and is authenticated on the firewall by the user trying to access the data via passwords.  Once logged into the business network it is as though the user is in the office giving them access to email, files, network drives and printers.

Spyware adds unnecessary problems to browsing the internet. Spyware runs on your machine and when your web browser is open, constantly opens new windows advertising products. This is not a virus but a small application that is downloaded in the background by web browsers from certain innocent websites.

AEC installs Anti Spyware products onto your network and PC's to prevent POP ups from appearing. This allows you to surf the web more efficiently with the added bonus of freeing up bandwidth.

Spam emails are in high abundance and in some reside viruses, which will corrupt your computer system.  Protecting businesses from these is becoming more and more important for securing your data and ensuring your system functions as it has been designed to.

AEC provides a service to ensure only clean emails are forwarded to your mailboxes. This works by routing your email through our data centre servers, where mails are scanned for emails and viruses and dirty emails are filtered out.  This reduces the chance of infection of your system and also speeds up your internet connection by downloading only relevant emails.

We monitor the servers 24 hours a day to ensure your emails are validated as they arrive.  Virus files are updated constantly also to ensure that the latest viruses are removed.
