Network security falls into two major categories: access from the inside and access from the outside.

Access from the inside includes everyone who will in any way, shape or form log on to your network for any reason whatsoever at your business. Usually, that just means the regular employees, but many companies have temps and visitors who log on for various reasons. Great care must be taken to ensure that each user is able to access the network only at the level appropriate for them, and nothing more. Ensuring this takes a detailed examination of the account, group and folder structure, then configuring the structure appropriately. Passwords are another potential risk and it's just a good idea to have the network checked by an outside organization from time to time. You need to know if someone can hack your network: simple common sense tells you that. For someone untrained in computer networks, it's a daunting task. For someone who teaches it, no problem. We teach it: we do it.

Access from the outside is everyone who logs on to your network from an outside line (like the Internet or Dial-Up Networking). When permissions, passwords and account properties are properly configured, everything should be just fine. When they're not, your network is open to the whole world. Literally. A properly trained professional is needed and Executive 2000 is the company you want. We'll configure accounts, permissions, properties, proxy servers, firewalls and anything else you need to protect your network. And we'll stay on top of it.

Security is not an area for the inexperienced to dabble in - it requires a professional trained in network security.
