If this is what you think, you are probably missing the point about computer security.

I.T. security encompasses a host of issues but when it comes to the concept of other people getting into your system there are a couple of major points to understand. If someone is trying to get into your system it is often for 1 of 3 reasons.

1. Intruders want to get in and be undetected so they can use your system for their advantage.

2. Intruders are after information such as passwords and user logons for financial gain.

3. Or it may just be for wilful damage to your system - maybe just to prove what can be done.

In all cases you first need to be protected and in the event of the repeated attack you need to know the source of the problem so you can lock your system down against those specific attacks.

We "harden up" our server and workstation environment using a number of "security best practices." We feel pretty confident that our system is safe but we also monitor our system on a daily basis to see who is trying to access our system. In the past week (at the time of preparing this website we have had attempted intrusions from sources based in China, Taiwan, Brazil, Thailand, Hong Kong and America. Chances are most businesses are in a similar situation but don't know about it.

If you think you need to know about it or are unsure whether you security implementation is adequate - we can assist.
