Internet Security

Information Security
BeckITSystems’ Hassle-Free IT technology management configures and manages security to protect business-critical data and address regulatory compliance.

• Access Administration – Implement policies to ensure data is available to only those who need the data
• Firewall and VPN Management – provides and manages firewalls, VPN connections and employee remote access services.
• Anti-Virus and Threat Management – Provide and manage state-of-the-art anti-virus and anti-spyware tools to maintain a virus and spyware free environment for PCs & servers
• Anti-Spam Services - Service designed to reduce the SPAM received in client mailboxes
• BulletProofData.net provides local and remote Data Back-up Services – BulletProofData.net provides the essential data backup and disaster recovery to ensure your organization’s business continuity – no matter what happens!  The backup and disaster recovery appliance provided by BeckITSystems automates data back-up, compresses the data, encrypts your data, and safely transmits your encrypted data over the Internet to our West Coast network operations center where it is stored in BeckITSystems’ BulletProofData.net secure data center.  Once in the West Coast Center, another copy is transmitted to our East Coast NOC.  Restores are fast and accurate from the local appliance.  Should a server fail, the appliance can quickly duplicate the functions of the failed server until it is repaired.  Should a disaster take place, a new appliance ready to plug and play will arrive at your designated disaster recovery site the next business morning. 

• Intrusion Prevention Services (IPS) - Hassle-Free IT security management services include intrusion prevention to ensure your network can identify, adapt and respond to internal and external network threats.
• eMail Management Services – Every email sent and received is inspected for appropriate content, spam, viruses, spyware, and other threats.  Only the email that has passed a thorough inspection is delivered to your inbox.  Productivity is increased and the hassle of dealing with junk email and spam is greatly reduced. 
• Internet Monitoring, Security and Performance Management –Because of the continually changing state of the Internet, URL blocking and website categorization is no longer effective for controlling content.  On average, 50% of your Internet connection is used for browsing. Some of the browsing activity is critical, like research, homework and learning sites and some of it is non-critical, like social networking, gaming and adult content. The other 50% of your Internet connection is used for Internet applications – both critical, like voice over I.P. and database backups; and non-critical, like peer-to-peer, streaming media and music downloads.

BeckITSystems’ Internet Monitoring, Security and Performance management for schools and libraries is the only solution that addresses both browsing and application activity while blocking anonymous proxies!  Network Composer is effective, economical, and promotes increased productivity.

The results speak for themselves:

"Since we installed Network Composer, our network runs faster than ever!” COO for a National Association

"The setup was fast, required no changes to our network, and reduced the spyware levels by 50% on the first day!  Our network is noticeably faster and we thought we would need to acquire more bandwidth before the Network Composer.”  CIO for a research organization

“My staff gets more done in a day than before we got our Network Composer.  After work everyone can use the Internet for other non-work purposes, but during the workday, the Internet is controlled for purely work purposes.  Thanks!” President, regional construction company

How Should You Control Content?

Traditional filters either use URL libraries or dynamic content analysis to determine inappropriate sites. URL libraries only include a small percentage of the Internet and dynamic content analysis engines introduce too much latency. Network Composer uses an optimized balance of URL categorization, keyword scanning and dynamic content analysis to give you full filtering without introducing noticeable latency. Because Network Composer scans deep into the packet payload, it also makes it easy to:

• Filter SSL encrypted browsing traffic
• Stop anonymous proxies and other content filtering bypass approaches
• Prioritize bandwidth by URL or URL category (imagine being able to limit bandwidth for MySpace and YouTube!)

What about Applications?

Your top bandwidth users aren’t using a web browser at all. They’re downloading files and streaming media. Network Composer controls applications at layer 7…so even evasive applications will not sneak by.

• Prioritizes critical applications
• Limits the impact non-critical applications can have on your overall bandwidth
• Stops spyware before it enters your network

Network Composer also gives you a complete reporting suite to show the top bandwidth users, top Internet users, sites visited, real-time application activity and more!

You Need a Way to Automatically Stop Anonymous Proxies. We Can Help.

We know the challenges you face in trying to control your Internet content to avoid endangering students and risking liability.

• Employees are getting past your content filter with anonymous proxies
• Employees are using secured proxies or SSL encrypted sites to access inappropriate content
• Employees can bypass most filters by typing in “https” instead of “http”
• Hundreds of new anonymous proxy sites are created every day – so keeping up with them is nearly impossible, unless you have the right technology

And that’s why you should seriously consider Network Composer

• Stops anonymous proxy traffic automatically
• Blocks students or faculty from bypassing filters
• Filters even SSL encrypted browsing sessions
• Eliminates the work involved with maintaining black lists

Stop YouTube and MySpace from Slowing Your Connection Down

We know that not all websites are “block” or “allow”…some of them just need to have higher priority to bandwidth so that learning and administration have the resources they need.

You need a way to automatically prioritize business-critical websites.

Network Composer

• Prioritizes bandwidth resources for learning-critical and administration-critical websites and applications
• Limits bandwidth to non-critical sites and applications
• Shows you which users are attempting to hog resources
• Ensures recreational browsing activity never interferes with learning-critical activity

Do you need Network Composer?

Ask yourself these questions:

• Are students bogging down your network with MySpace and YouTube traffic?
• Does your organization have an Acceptable Use Policy? 
• Can you measure, monitor and enforce it with no additional effort or expense?
• Does your Internet connection slow down at certain times of day because of overload?
• Do your employees ever waste time waiting for learning-critical sites to load because others are hogging all the bandwidth?

Speed Up Critical Applications…We Can Make It Easy with Network Composer

We know that some applications need to respond quickly. Often times your network’s so bogged down that the business-critical applications can not receive the resources they need.

You need a way to automatically prioritize critical applications.

Network Composer makes it easy by:

• Prioritizing bandwidth resources for critical applications
• Prioritizing applications at layer 7…so you can control elusive application traffic
• Limiting bandwidth to non-critical applications
• Showing you which users are attempting to hog resources
• Ensuring recreational online activity never interferes with learning-critical activity
• Enabling time sensitive rule and bandwidth application

Do you need Network Composer?

Ask yourself these questions:

• Are employees bogging down your network with peer-to-peer downloads or streaming media?
• Does your Internet connection slow down at certain times of day because of overload?
• Does your staff ever waste time waiting for administrative applications because students are hogging all the bandwidth?
