Information security for servers and personal computers
Long-standing user or new one? There is something valuable for you here.
This page explains why it matters to act now, and how best to protect the sensitive material on your computer. That step is critical for the machine and, above all, for you: it is the move towards an effective, working security arrangement. Very few private computer users give these matters even a short amount of time. Whether through inattention, neglect or simple lack of awareness, they leave their machines exposed to dozens of serious threats capable of causing enormous damage. Do not allow yourself that neglect. A few minutes and you will be protected.
Along with the freedom and the experience it offers, the internet also carries a very large problem: serious weaknesses in users' information security — or in other words, comparatively easy access to their personal details. It is only thanks to security software and various protective measures that this is not simply routine. But that does not mean you are protected. Far from it.
Somewhere out there, in various places across the network, sit malicious actors — dormant cells, waiting for the best opportunity to attack. Their entire purpose is to descend on the unsuspecting, unprotected user and exploit that in order to damage sensitive material on the machine, or to use their most private personal details without their ever knowing. Those same actors take advantage of these gaps to break into secure and sensitive computer networks and disrupt entire technological systems. But those are the hardest targets from their point of view. Far simpler ones sit with the ordinary citizen: stolen credit card details, bank accounts, sensitive documents and even forged signatures are routine. On the average private computer these gaps exist everywhere — very probably on yours as well. What can you do to close them?

Our recommendation for keeping people out of a private email account
Use a password that contains no identifying details — not your full name, not your date of birth or a family member's — and make a point of changing it every few months. The most basic step in any server-security process calls for complex passwords, changed periodically.
Frequently asked questions
How will you check the security position on my machine?
The work is carried out over a remote session to your computer, which allows every part of it to be scanned thoroughly and over an encrypted link.
Does a remote session put my machine's security at risk?
Not at all. Our remote support is carried out by trustworthy, experienced professionals. It is considered extremely safe and does not compromise the security of the data on your computer.
What security measures can you offer me?
We offer our clients the most capable security and antivirus software available in computing today, and we make a point of keeping current with the latest developments in the field.
Is this a long-term arrangement or a one-off piece of work?
That depends on the user. We offer a range of protective arrangements — from clients who choose a daily review of every machine in the organisation, through to clients who call once a year to buy and install antivirus for the home computer.
