Importance of Hiring a Bay Area Network Management Firm

August 15th, 2009

All business these days utilize computers and a network to conduct the daily business. With so much riding on your network always being up and running, it will pay off to have a Bay Area network management system company to help ensure productivity and efficiency do not suffer due to poor computer and network performance.

One of the main advantages of having a Bay Area network management company help install and maintain your local area network is the opportunity they create for better communication and cooperation between employees and customers. There are numerous aspects to network management that will need to be handled by your local Bay Area professional.

One of the aspects of network management is the level of security the network possesses. A Bay Area network management firm can explain to you how comprehensive security is beneficial because it provides a central and safe strategy for data access and disaster recovery. All information is protected by the design and implementation of the network security solution. On the other hand, interconnecting computers in local area networks creates a security risk, since doing so makes it technically possible for intruders to access many machines on the network at once.

Another reason to hire a local Bay Area network management firm is the high cost of establishing a local area network. Installing a local area network is a relatively expensive project. Servers, cabling, switches, routers and software can all be expensive and should never be purchased without expert advice from a network management firm. Keeping the network operating and secure also requires a lot of resources and can be costly.

These are just a few things about setting up a local area network that stress the importance of hiring a Bay Area network management firm.

Home Networking One 0n 0ne Part 2

August 7th, 2009

Today, more than ever, home networks are easier and less expensive to set up. At times, however, the knowledge needed for building a network is not accompanied by any guidelines on how to secure them.  In some cases, the guidelines are simply ignored. No matter what the case, that is a data disaster just waiting to happen.

You may have a thing about being paranoid about security. That is an excessive amount of concern that should be tempered. However, you should have a certain amount of caution. Security is much like medical insurance. You may not need it very often, but when you do need it, chances are you need it badly. If you don’t have it you may face dire consequences.

Wireless home networks are becoming increasingly popular due to their lower cost and flexibility.  However, the wireless network is particularly prone to security issues. In theory, someone that has a wireless enabled laptop can just drive by your house, get into your space and tap into your network. It’s not too much of a problem if all they do is steal a little bandwidth. However, if they happen to be malicious and clever, they will be able to implant a virus into your home network without you even knowing it!

Using the Internet has similar risks. However, in a case like that you usually have to download an attachment from someone you don’t even know to get infected. This scenario is easy to avoid. As a rule of thumb, if you do not know who it is from, do NOT open it. It could be a hacker with a virus. However, in the case of a wireless home network, you do not have to take any action to get infected. Even though you may be following good Internet file sharing practices, you are still vulnerable.

Even if you have a cabled network, it is possible for someone to break in while you are away. Most of these incidents will revolve around stealing property. But by infecting a computer a disgruntled employee, an angry person or a party to a lawsuit may use this as a way of getting revenge. What a better way to get revenge than to have your computer crash!

The solution is typically the same in either type of network. Practice the same good habits you use for Internet data sharing and magnify them. You must make sure that each computer on the network has a password that is required in order to gain access to the system. Leaving a system unprotected to just save a few seconds of inconvenience at home will expose your entire network to unnecessary risk.

One thing you want to do is change the password on your router often. The defaults for most of the popular vendors’ products are known by just about everyone who has the necessary skills to do harm.  Make it harder for them to inflict damage by following this simple step. Configure your wireless router according to the manufacturers’ instructions in order to prevent unauthorized access. Today, all wireless routers use WAP to prevent drive-by’s from accessing your system.

Most adults today would be astounded by the amount of computer knowledge a teenager has. Most are well meaning, but some young people have not yet learned how to use a home network securely. Some young people can master the techniques, but they do not yet have the common sense or the wisdom to know how to put these techniques into practice.

Treat your home network in much the same way as you would treat your credit cards. You wouldn’t just hand you credit card out to a stranger would you? Moreover, you wouldn’t tell that stranger your password would you? You would be broke in no time! Do not provide physical access or pass out information to anyone that you do not want to have access to it. This is often a short step from having them access your money. It is an even shorter step to your valuable home network as well as your data!

Passwords Don’t Have to Threaten Business Security

July 30th, 2009

The emergence of the World Wide Web as a global, around the clock marketplace has opened a multitude of new opportunities to businesses which have never before been seen. Computers and global communication networks have brought vendors, customers and markets together in new and beneficial ways. Along with all of the benefits which business has gained from the information age come some downsides. New crimes have not been created by new technology, but rather new technology has given new tools to criminals to commit the same crimes as they always have. The difference is that criminals now have a global reach, just as businesses do. In the U.S. at least, the responsibility for protecting consumers from having their personal information pilfered is placed upon businesses.

While some will blame the computer itself for crimes involving identity theft, it is usually not the computer but rather the way in which the victim has made use of it which is at issue. Their lack of attention to network and computer security has offered access to criminals – right into their home or business. After all, if we never lock our doors, would we blame the contractor who built our home for a burglary? In a corporate environment, it is typically employees, including IT staff who are really at fault.

About 70% of data breaches at businesses can be laid at the feet of people within the company. Employees using weak passwords or making the egregious mistake of writing down their passwords in plain view allow unscrupulous employees and others easy access to company information. Employees know that the quickest way to find a password is to sit at someone’s desk; quite often, employees will tape passwords on notes on the monitor, to the desk (or underneath it) or in desk drawers, often simply labeled “passwords” or worse yet, on the desktop of their computer in an unencrypted document. Keep in mind that if a security breach happens through the use of a legitimate user name and password, it is very difficult for your IT staff to catch. Poor password management on the part of your employees can give criminals complete access to sensitive corporate data.

IT departments try to reduce the risk of data breaches through the implementation of stronger security policies. There are six basic rules of password security which they commonly use. These are:

LENGTH – Passwords should always be at least eight characters long. The longer, the better as long as you can remember your password.
RANDOMNESS – A password should be difficult to guess. Use combinations of numbers and letters; words, dates and so on.
COMPLEXITY – Employ a mix of numbers, punctuation marks and lower and uppercase letters in your passwords.
UNIQUENESS – Use a unique password for each user account.
ROTATION – Passwords should be changed every two to three months.
MANAGEMENT – Never let anyone see your password. And never, ever write it down.

The conflict which is going here is between IT departments and other employees. As IT departments make security measures more complex and difficult for employees, they use weaker security habits to increase the ease of access for themselves. Employees will nearly always forgo security for the sake of convenience.

One way to avoid this conflict is to adopt token based password management. These sorts of systems include:

Security:
o PIN protected smartcards which lock data after a predetermined number of failed attempts at access.
o Passwords are never stored in computers, where hackers and snoopers can find and use them.
o Passwords can be as long as 20 characters, with all 96 possible characters on the keyboard being available to use.
o Each website, encrypted file and network can (and should) have its own unique, complex.
o Since your passwords are never typed in, a keylogger cannot record them.
o The card can be encrypted so that only the software used to manage the cards can access the data on them.

Convenience:
o The management system for these cards can handle logins for different accounts, files, applications and networks.
o The management system can launch a web browser, navigate to the appropriate login page and take care of authentication, all with a double click.
o Users never have to remember (or type)passwords.
o Users will have their passwords on them at all times.
o These cards can be carried in a wallet or even used as an employee ID badge.
o Passwords will not be written or stored where they can be found.
o Cards can store over 100 different passwords and their associated account information
o Login sites are saved to the card.

Portability:
o Passwords are available to users at any workstation once their smartcard is inserted.
o The card can be used in the office or at home or from another remote location. These sorts of smartcards are great for students and others as well.
o Smartcards are ideal for employees who work remotely but need secure access to the company network.

It takes more than just a password to make your network secure, but with the use of security tokens, passwords are no longer the weakest link in a company’s security scheme. Tokens have been developed by security companies for a variety of different applications – companies can evaluate these offerings on the basis of form, usability, the amount of modifications which will be required in their infrastructure, ease of installation and of course, cost. Some smartcards offer advances security but also mean that a lot of back-end server work must be done in order to implement them. Others are easy to set up and use, but are a risk if they are lost or stolen.

Business owners are required by the Privacy Protection Act to keep customer data secure. While no one security measure can provide total security, proper password management should be part of every company’s overall security strategy.

5 Common Problems Overlooked By Business It Networks.

July 22nd, 2009

IT Networks though simple, require extensive planning to ensure stability, yet we often encounter businesses that are acquainted with the imperative role networking plays in the efficient functioning of their company.

Informed business entrepreneurs often opt to upgrade their networking systems to suit their organizational structure. Although upgrading is an expensive, time consuming process, its benefits are ten fold. Though, there are some small size companies that insist on having a Windows XP workstation function as a network server, this decision may eventually lead to decrease in efficiency and productivity of the entire Information Technology environment.

Network Consultants should always analyze the nature of your business so as to recommend a networking/Information Technology system that would be the best fit for your business. IT Consultants should evaluate both hardware and software requirements to guide your company through the pros and cons of various networking options that your business may be considering.

From a network consulting standpoint, these are five common problems that are either neglected by businesses or not included in the overall planning of the Network Infrastructure.

Disaster Recovery: Although entrepreneurs are risk takers they provide for all contingencies. While they insure their store and goods against fire, theft, natural calamities, etc., in many cases they ignore the need to implement a disaster recovery plan for financial records, employee payroll and client data. Losing valuable customer information to a fire would result in temporary chaos and a financial drain. Therefore, a data recovery system should be available to restore normal operation within 24 to 48 hours. There are several options to evaluate depending on the size of the business. A good Technology consulting company should be able to assess the needs and accordingly recommend an IT recovery plan that is fool proof yet affordable.

Redundancy: Although businesses are advised to maintain an alternate or redundant source of power supply for critical servers, many entrepreneurs ignore this simple loss prevention method in order to save a few hundred dollars. For example, servers that process customer credit card transactions are not exempted from the probability of failure and if not backed by a redundant power source, it may lead to a major financial loss. The point that I am trying to get across is that important network equipment should be identified and a redundant plan should be implemented to provide against unforeseen circumstances.

Network Security: Viruses are not strangers to the world of computers and internet. While performing technology analysis and auditing we come across businesses that have servers on DMZ without network security measures like a simple firewall. We have seen instances were employees had full access to the network server running virus inviting programs like Limewire. An obvious result of this would be a slow network. In most cases, passwords for workstations, servers etc. are identical and shared. Impermeable network security plans should be implemented especially when business IT infrastructure holds confidential information of clients or individuals that may become a risk as well as an embarrassing situation if lost
or stolen.

Network Speed: Businesses always focus on maximizing efficiency and productivity at the lowest cost and what better way to achieve this goal than to minimize wastage of employee time? Speed of IT networks depend on many factors from simple network security policies to restrict P2P software to intelligent switching hardware. You may be surprised but network infrastructure cabling (Cat 5, Cat 6, and Fiber Optics) also makes a significant difference on the performance of the entire network.

Expandability: Change in networking structure is an option that should always be open for clients. To plan ahead is important as a business need not overhaul a huge part of their network to see an insignificant benefit. A simple example would be to anticipate network storage requirements of data. Clients often overlook the importance of discussing options with consultants to make sure their IT system remains adequate for at least 3 to 5 years. The aim should be to minimize dollars spent without hindering the quality of work being performed by employees.

Consultants are professionals and while their recommendations should not be overlooked, they should not be adopted blindly either. As a customer you are entitled to know the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of every suggestion made. Request layman’s explanation for every problem encountered. Most importantly, ensure that the 5 major and basic areas are covered in the initial audit reports or recommendations made by any Technology consulting company.

Consumer Reports – Home-networking

July 14th, 2009

A network allows a single broadband account to be shared throughout the home. Unfortunately, such networking is impractical with dial-up Internet service–one of several reasons you might want to consider broadband.

WHAT’S AVAILABLE

Home networking is getting a boost from improvements in the range, speed, and cost of wireless networks. If you own a laptop computer that has wireless capability, a wireless network now allows you to surf the Web at broadband speeds from most places in your house, yard, or apartment. Leading brands of wireless routers include D-Link, Netgear, and Linksys. Wired networking is far from obsolete, however, since it still provides the most secure and reliable connections. Indeed, for many households the best solution for sharing a broadband connection–or a printer, music files, or digital photos–among multiple computers might be a network that includes both wired and wireless.

Ethernet, or wired, networks. Wired networks are very secure by themselves, with no special security measures necessary. They are reliable, and usually immune to interference. They offer the fastest data transfer–up to 94 megabits per second for the common 10/100 type, enough for virtually any data application.

IMPORTANT FEATURES

One drawback is that you can’t easily move your computer around the home. Routing cables throughout the home can be a hassle or expensive. Price range: $50 to $100 for one router and a cable to connect two fairly new computers. Also, there might be additional costs for routing cable through the home. Wi-Fi, 802.11g (wireless). There are no cables to connect or rout with a wireless network, and there are minimal installation costs. Mobility is the key–the wireless network supplies signals virtually anywhere around the home. You will need to take additional steps in terms of security, without which your data are vulnerable to hackers. Thick walls can reduce signal strength, which might vary in different areas of the home or even within a room. Wi-Fi networks might interfere with cordless phones, baby monitors, and other wireless devices. These networks are only 25 percent as fast as Ethernet, but they’re still fine for typical networking uses, such as Web surfing and e-mail. Price range: $200 or less for a router and client cards to allow two computers to use the network wirelessly

HOW TO CHOOSE

Plan your network. You’ll probably want to locate the router near the source of your broadband service–usually a cable or DSL modem. The router and the modem will be connected by an Ethernet cable. But the connections between the router and the computers in the network might be either wired or wireless.

Choose a wireless router. That is the official term for the models that support both Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Even if you don’t need wireless capability now, acquiring it costs little extra (perhaps $10 or so) compared with a wired model, and might spare your having to replace the router if you want to add a wireless device to it in the future.

Stick with the 802.11g wireless standard. Wi-Fi is continually evolving, with new standards designed to increase broadcast range and speed, thus increasing the network’s ability to handle new types of information. The name of the standard is usually listed on the router’s package, as a letter suffix to the technical term for Wi-Fi, which is 802.11. Currently the most common standard is known as 802.11g. We think it’s the best choice for most people.

The 802.11g networks we tested all had sufficient range and speed to provide coverage throughout most homes. The data speeds we measured fell short of the standard speed for 802.11g. But all routers were much faster than the typical speed of a broadband Internet connection.

If you already have a wireless network that uses 802.11a or 802.11b, two older standards, consider upgrading only if you find the range, speed, or reliability of your network wanting.

At the other end of the spectrum are routers that use early variants of the latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11n. Frequently referred to with terms such as “MIMO,” “Super G,” or “pre-n,” such models might not be compatible with the actual “n” standard, which is due in late 2006. They also require that you buy matching networking adapters, even for computers with built-in 802.11g capability.

Consider one of these new routers only if you have range problems that can’t be solved in other ways. In our tests, they were better at penetrating walls than 802.11g routers, and some offered data speeds that were twice as fast. But they were just as likely to interfere with (or receive interference from) cordless phones and other devices.

Consider whether and how you’ll share a printer. A network lets you avoid the cost of putting a printer in every room by sharing one. To do this, you can use a printer with built-in network capability.

It’s possible to share a non-networked printer by attaching it to the network via a print server, a device that costs $70 to $100 and is the size of a large paperback. There may be issues of interference with some printer-management software, however. Any PC connected to a printer can also serve as a print server for the other computers on the network, though you must leave that computer on when you’re printing.

Consider networking issues for other devices. An increasing number of devices that typically connect to a single computer–PDAs, printers, and video-game consoles–are now Wi-Fi compatible. If you plan to connect any of them to your network, make sure they’re compatible with the network security you set up.

Check whether you need to buy adapters. Every computer on your network will require an adapter to allow it to communicate with the network; the question is whether it already has one built in. If you’re using Ethernet to connect a computer bought within the past three years or so, the adapter will most likely be built into the unit. The same applies to recent-vintage laptops, which should have built-in 802.11g capability.

If you need to buy a network adapter for your desktop, you can choose either an internal PC-card version, which requires opening the computer case for installation, or a USB version, which plugs into a USB port. Laptops can use either a PCI-card or USB adapter. In all cases, the cost should be no more than $60.

Resist professional installation help. Computer retailers might try to sell you on professional installation for your new network, starting at a cost of $150 or so. But wiring aside, today’s networks are so easy to set up that you shouldn’t take them up on their offer if you’re comfortable with technology.

Network gear usually comes with instructions and access to free 24/7 technical support. And you can always come back to the retailer for help in troubleshooting the network if necessary.

Shop by return policy. For all your best efforts, the network equipment you’ve bought might not be compatible with your home. For example, your walls and floors might be especially resistant to wireless transmission (which might be the case if they have a lot of moisture, metal, or other highly conductive material in them). Before you buy, check the store’s return policies. Consider a retailer with a generous one.

Networking Solution for Small and Large Business

July 6th, 2009

The facts of small and large business networking solutions are more or less the same. Importance of effective network installation service and reliable network security & support services cannot be denied for any type of business, irrespective of its size and scale. Every organization needs networking solutions and employs onshore or offshore team for handling the networking issues from time to time. Server down, Connectivity issues, and akin are some of the usual network related issues that distract a business working day on an average. All such problems are of high importance and must be corrected on first priority basis. So there is always a need for a networking engineer team with in-depth knowledge of the networking concepts and fair grasp of the practical know how, so as to address the issues with optimum speed.

 

Hiring a team of such a competency is always very expensive and probably not a feasible option for the small businesses. To the rescue are organizations with experts in networking solutions, who customize the small and large business networking solutions to your exact requirements. The cost effectiveness and durability of the network installation service and network security and other support services becomes something not to worry about. There are some key points one must ask oneself, while searching for a networking solutions team, as and when you decide to hire Network security & support services.

 

Which geographical location should be preferred while hiring a networking solution? (Neighboring, provincial or state-wide)?

What demographics would suit your requirements (income specific, etc.)?

What should be the strength of the Networking solutions team?

 

It’s better to have the team seated within the organization, as thus they will be better able to tackle networking issues of connectivity or server issues. They will be able to give a better backup solution. Networking solution team also has the competency of establishing extensive network security. Network security is of high importance for any organization that has the network installed. There are various types to establish network security. This depends on the requirements and the profile of the organization.

Security and Synchronisation

June 28th, 2009

Security is often the most worried about aspect of running a computer network. Keeping unwanted users out whilst allowing freedom for users to access network applications is a full time job. Yet many network administrators fail to pay any heed to one of the most crucial aspects of keeping a network secure – time synchronisation.

Time synchronisation is not just important but it is vital in network security and yet it is staggering how many network administrators disregard it or fail to have their systems properly synchronised.

Ensuring the same and correct time (ideally UTC – Coordinated Universal Time) is on each network machine is essential as any time delays can be an open door for hackers to slip in undetected and what is worse if machines do get hacked are not running the same time it can be near impossible to detect, repair and get the network back up and running.

Yet time synchronisation is one of the simplest of tasks to employ, particularly as most operating systems have a version of the time protocol NTP (Network Time Protocol). Finding an accurate time server can sometimes be problematic particularly if the network is synchronised across the internet as this can raise other security issues such as having an open port in the firewall and a lack of possible authentication by NTP to ensure the signal is trusted.

However, an easier method for time synchronisation, being both accurate and secure, is to use a dedicated NTP time server (also known as network time server). An NTP server will take a time signal direct from GPS or from the national time and frequency radio transmissions put out by organisations such as NIST or NPL.

By using a dedicated NTP server the network will become a lot securer and if the worst does happen and the system does fall victim to malicious users then having a synchronised network will ensure it is easily solvable.

Richard N Williams is a technical author and a specialist in the telecommunications and network time synchronisation industry helping to develop dedicated NTP clocks. Please visit us for more information about NTP or other network time server solutions.
