Network Security Solutions for Any Industry
Network security is now crucial for every business or organisation. This is why we have a team of network security experts dedicated to tailoring network security solutions for any industry or sector.
The entire approach to enterprise networks and security is changing rapidly with the advent of AI, machine learning and software automation. They enable simplified network deployments, vastly reduce the number of IT trouble tickets along with providing real-time detection and response capabilities to the latest security threats.
Hear from Compnow’s Andrew Charles and Julian Critchlow as they discuss the safest way to protect your staff and students in an enterprise network environment.
Compnow is a leading Australian IT company offering procurement, deployment & support services for Education, Government and Business. We are 100% Australian-owned & operated, have been in operation for over 30 years and have six locations across Australia – Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Perth and Sydney.
Why Network Security Is So Important
Network security involves taking steps to ensure the integrity of a computer network and the data within it are secure & protected from cyber threats such as breaches and intrusions. Security also ensures your network is reliable, accessible and meets the requirements of your business or organisation.
The movement to the cloud is key for any business, especially around device and security management. This is critical to combat the constant threat of a cybersecurity breach in your environment. To learn more watch our recent video with Fortinet’s Tim Fitzgerald, as we discuss securing your organisation.
Our solutions enable a business or organisation to run effectively and efficiently delivering a better user experience and/or a better service, with the necessary safeguards & protection in place so vulnerabilities and downtime are minimised or avoided.
A network security solution can be made up of:
- Hardware & software solutions (e.g. virus and antivirus software, application security, firewalls and VPN encryption)
- Processes, rules and configurations regarding how a network is or can be used, accessibility as well as protection from cyber threats
The point of failure is nearly always going to be the hardware, whether it be the wireless access point on the ceiling or in the other infrastructure behind the scenes. This is where a strong Artificial Intelligence supported approach assists, because it can normally identify the exact issue before you would normally even know there is one.
Network Security Solutions For Enterprise, Small To Medium Businesses, Government, Healthcare And Schools
We have seen a significant and rapid change in the network security landscape with the advent of AI, machine learning and software automation – which means it is essential that our approach to enterprise networks and security adapts.
With these changes, we’re seeing simplified network deployments, a vast reduction in the number of IT trouble tickets along with real-time detection and response capabilities to the latest security threats enabled. From this, the movement to the cloud is key for any business, especially around device and security management – critical to combat the constant threat of a cybersecurity breach in your environment.
However, there is no ‘one size fits all’ for network security solutions – each business or organisation will have its unique challenges or vulnerabilities and requirements in terms of network security. And, we know there can be several key challenges when it comes to network security solutions for enterprise network security, business network security, Government network security, healthcare network security and school network security.
Example: Healthcare Network Security
Healthcare staff need better, more mobile and more reliable access to patient info to enable them to provide optimal care to patients; however, budget constraints, in particular, political silos between the different departments wanting budget allocation is one of the most common challenges this sector faces in terms of network security. And on top of this, healthcare network security has traditionally been very conservative so there is a real need for networks to be refreshed as the current solutions are inadequate.
