Network Security
Security designed into the network from the start.
Cytranet protects business networks with firewalls, traffic monitoring and control, regular system updates, strong password policies, and antivirus and antispam protection. Security is designed into the network when it is built, which is more effective than adding it after an incident.
What network security covers
Network security is the set of measures that keep people and software that should not be on your network away from your systems and data. It includes the firewall at the edge of the network, the monitoring of traffic that passes through it, the updates that close known weaknesses, and the protection on each computer.
Most incidents use known weaknesses
Attackers rarely need anything sophisticated. They rely on systems that have missed their updates, passwords that are easy to guess, and staff who open a convincing email. Regular updates, a sound password policy, and antivirus and antispam filtering address the methods that cause most incidents.
Designed in, not added later
A network that is built with security in mind separates guest traffic from business systems, limits what each device can reach, and records what happens. Cytranet designs those protections into the network at the outset. Retrofitting them after a breach is slower, more expensive, and less complete.
Security from the provider that runs your network
Because Cytranet supplies the connectivity and manages the equipment, we see the traffic entering and leaving your network and can act on it. The result is less exposure to intrusion, ransomware, and account takeover that begins with phishing.
