If the computer network of your company or business is not protected, the ITS Safe security appliance would be a great tool to have.

The ITS Safe^TM security appliance detects and blocks unwanted activities inside your network that firewalls and virus scanners can’t stop. (www.it-security-solutions.com)

“Virus scanners and firewalls attempt to block things. In reality, a virus scanner is looking to see if it can identify that you’ve already had a breach. It’s a reactive tool, not a preventive tool,” said Albert Whale, Founder of IT Security Solutions, inc. during an interview with KDKA Radio on Tuesday.

“Our tool looks at the packets coming in, on the network and determines if they are good or bad. If they are bad, we drop them and we block the hackers from getting to your computers.”

Private information can be leaked and identities can be stolen if an individual breaks in to the network of a business; it can be very serious.

“Sysco came out with some other marketing for our webinar, and they said 43% of companies fail within six months after a data breach,” Whale explains.

ITS Safe is different from other platforms because they identify attacks that are in progress.

“We have controls in place that detect this malicious activity, and then we can block it before it hits your computer.”

This is the second episode for 2019, and what we are focusing on today is focusing on the positive effects for your business.  Are you the Weakest link? How do the attackers are get past your Firewall and Virus Scanners.

Here are two reasons:

• They know how to evade them.

•  

Using the Internet allows attackers to follow you inside the firewall.

Today we are discussing the concept of change.  The title of the episode is called: “The pain of staying the same is worse than the pain of change.”  Most organizations fail to recognize that change is a process that makes improvements to the organization, instead of ignoring the problems and continuing to do the same things over and over again.  There is pending legislation that wants to fine or Jail CEOs that fail to do enough to protect the organization, and the data that they are using.
