Network Security

Securing network servers can take a lot of time and effort.   But it's effort worth every penny.  John our founder once went to company running a Windows NT domain.  Their problem was files and folders disappeared all of the time.  They were sure hackers or a virus was on their network.  As it turned out everyone was logging into the network as "Administrator" and users were "accidentally" deleting files and folders.

John created accounts and secured network resources.  Then they called him back because "Nobody" could do anything.  Which turned out only certain people should have had the permission to delete files, so the users who didn't kept complaining that they could not do their job.  It was a hell of a situation to resolve this one! 

We can come in an verify your permissions, check group memberships, limit domain administrator accounts, check user rights, verify and set NTFS and Share permissions.  We can setup limits on your users so that files don't just disappear.

Key Benefits

•  Secure your Share Permissions and NTFS file and folder permissions

•  Verify and maintain group memberships

•  Setup and require passwords

Capabilities

Permissions

Many of MCSE candidate will tell you the permissions can get complicated.  For example when you have multiple NTFS or Share permissions then you take the cumulative NTFS permission and the cumulative Share permission, and which ever is the most restrictive that is your effective permission.  Did you get that?  Don't worry if you don't because we do.  We can manage your file, folder, and share permissions for you!

 

We can also audit your files on your network and see what your users are doing, and should not be doing.  We can also audit your files for hack attempts.

Group Membership

One must be careful when adding people to groups.  You can give them access to files you don't intend to.  We can manage, monitor group memberships.  We can even setup groups that will automatically remove "new" users when added to the group.  So let us secure your security groups.

Password Restrictions

Setting up restrictive enough passwords at the same time not so restrictive that users can't remember them is almost an art.  One company wanted 15 letter passwords that changes every two weeks.  Another company assigned their passwords to their users, and did let them change them.  Company one was constantly changing passwords because users never remembered them.  At company two users has post it notes with their passwords on just about every screen.

Finding the balance vs. security is not easy.  But we can find the proper balance, and help you secure your network.

A user once asked us "Why do we have to change them in the first place?"  Our answer is if someone gets your password, then they could do everything you do.  At least when we make you change it, it limits the time the hacker can use your account.
