In the near future, the number of these attacks will only continue to grow. The best line of defense is to have security warriors like CarefreeIT in your corner.

Expert IT security

To stay ahead of these online criminals, companies have to follow more than a cookie-cutter approach. They need a team that can design a custom solution for their business.
But preventive measures can only go so far. Businesses also need complete security information and event management (SIEM).
Because of the risks, companies must take the matter of their endpoint security more seriously. The pandemic has increased the need for remote work. This, in turn, now increases the risk of compromise through client devices.
The need to protect a network from remote devices is high. Companies are seeing the benefit of allowing staff to bring their own devices to work. But these personal devices that access company resources are a risk. So, businesses also need to adopt network security best practices. This includes using a virtual private network (VPN).
At CarefreeIT, we use VPNs to provide end-to-end protection for data passing through networks. We can harden your websites with secure sockets layers to provide end-to-end encryption too.

Reliable network security

Our approach to security is to use preventive means to protect the foundation of your network. The measures we adopt are aimed to prevent unwanted access to your computer network.
We make sure the integrity of your data is protected with the right hardware and software technology. Our staff will secure your network by designing a structure strong enough to defeat online attacks. We ensure no one can mess up, misuse or modify your network traffic.
You need firewalls to guard the pathway between your network and the internet too.
With our deep knowledge of networks, we can help your business prevent denial-of-service (DOS) attacks. CarefreeIT also informs our clients of the best use of firewalls for filtering both incoming and outgoing traffic.

Trusted application security

We strive to protect your apps and data. We recommend best practices to protect a modern business. We also have deep knowledge of how to adopt practical solutions for your online protection.
We’ll suggest the right tools you need to strengthen your IT security. It’s essential to apply regular software patches to your applications so that they’re up to date. Our consulting services can verify that your apps have the latest patches.
Cyber security specialists should also regularly review your software to discover any hidden flaws. They’ll also look into any performance issues to ensure they aren’t due to computer viruses slowing down the system.

IT security services should focus on any method of attack that can weaken an organization. At CarefreeIT, we can help you address these areas of security:
  1. Antivirus software: Cyberattacks come in many forms. Some operate in secret. They will delete, corrupt or encrypt vital data. So, you need support on the best antivirus that can detect signs of weird behavior.
  2. Data loss prevention (DLP): You need to protect your company’s sensitive data. By setting up DLP technologies, a security consultant from CarefreeIT can prevent employees — whether accidentally or purposely — from sharing outside of the business network. You can protect your files from being downloaded, uploaded or forwarded to bad actors.
  3. Email security: Email is hackers’ favorite means of phishing and social engineering attacks. It’s a prime target for bad actors due to its rich attack vectors. They are included through suspect links, scams and malware attachments.
  4. Information security planning: This is crucial to driving proper security policy development for an organization. We design security policies that fit your business goals while reducing risks.
  5. Cloud support services: The cloud is the main platform for software as a service (SaaS) applications. Therefore, cloud management needs new support skillsets for security with scalability.
  6. Mobile security: Our cyber security consultants understand the danger that mobile devices pose. Technical network segmentation might be required to limit access to networks. This maintains employees are authorized to carry out functions.
  7. Technical reports: As part of our support services, we provide official papers on our test findings. We go to great lengths to make sure your team understands their meaning in simple language. This equips them with the actionable intelligence they need to succeed.
