The Washington Network Helps Customers Enhance Network Security
Through Managed IT Services
Proactive Approach to IT Enables Local Businesses to Combat Threats
ALEXANDRIA, VA— October 30, 2015 — The Washington Network, Inc., a
leading provider of unified communications, announced today that its proactive
approach to managed services enhances security and helps companies combat
malicious threats. Fortune 1000 organizations have plenty of budget available
to spend on IT security infrastructure. They are fully equipped with in-house
staff that is dedicated full-time to optimizing security across the board.
While the necessity for IT security is in plain sight, many small to mid-sized
companies may ignore this area of their business until it’s too late. The Washington Network’s managed IT services
provides proactive resources to business owners everywhere. The company zeroes
in on five key areas to focus on, to dramatically improve the health of their
customers’ technology.
In
its purest form, The Washington Network’s
managed IT services anticipate IT issues before they crop up. It’s a proactive
and cost effective approach that has changed the way businesses improve their
productivity, streamline their efficiency and keep their critical information
safe. This approach enables business owners to stay focused on their core
competencies, instead of trying to understand the complexities of IT networks.
There are five critical areas where Voice Smart Networks leverages their
proactive approach to enhance security.
1) Anti-virus/Anti-malware.
Most viruses spread so fast because they are delivered in the simplest ways.
Viruses are usually deployed through email, software downloads or phishing
sites. The Washington Network provides
regularly updates virus protection so the latest threats can be combatted.
2) Data Backup. If
you’ve ever lost your data, your presentation or a file went missing, you’ve
felt the sting of a lacking data backup program. While most businesses have
partial backups in place, Voice Smart Networks provides companies with cloud
based business continuity and disaster recovery programs in order to eliminate
this problem from their IT landscape.
3) Software Updates.If you’ve ever snoozed a security update, you’ve potentially put your company
at risk for greater harm. Voice Smart Networks team of technicians work around
the clock to instantaneously and continuously update software so customers are
always on the latest version.
4) Unauthorized Users. Keeping
unauthorized users out – of buildings, software programs and internal networks
– is another vital component for a comprehensive data protection program.
Leaving these areas unprotected is irresponsible as leaving your doors unlocked
at night. Voice Smart Networks monitors activity constantly and works with
customers to provide access to necessary employees.
5) Cloud & Mobile Security. Virtually
every business in today’s marketplace relies on some form of cloud-based
technology or mobile phones. Each one of these pose a potential threat to the
network and create vulnerability for the network, especially if left ignored.
Voice Smart Networks monitors personal devices to protect against threats
entering the network taking mobile security and cyber security to another
level.
“When an organization takes
the time to assess these areas of their business, it’s very easy to
dramatically improve the health of their technology,” said RickEndres,President of The Washington Network. “We are very well versed in these areas and
can bring years of expertise and experience to the table. The modern
organization can simply not afford to ignore these areas of their business any
longer and by partnering with us we can prevent a catastrophic event.”
