Are Your Computers Safe?

Email, the web, and other Internet technologies have brought us major productivity gains, along with unprecedented security risks.  The technical sophistication of those risks goes far beyond simple email virus attacks and prevents many managers from being able to fully understanding how vulnerable their organizations really are.

Major thefts of financial and medical data have caused the credit card industry and the U.S. Congress to require every company that stores credit card or personal medical information to meet new data security standards.  These mandates don't just cover large institutions with thousands of employees and massive e-commerce web sites; they also cover small retailers, medical practices—virtually any business that stores credit card or medical information.

Because of the threats from confidential data loss, legal liability, and expensive business outages, every company that uses computers should insure that a high level of data security is built into every computer system that they employ.  Data security can be tested as a process separate from computer systems design and implementation, but ultimately only good systems design and implementation can result in effective, reliable, and secure data systems.

Vista offers a cost-effective Preliminary Security Assessment package that quickly identifies may of the most common security vulnerabilities and points the way toward correcting them.  By utilizing the kind of high-level expertise that Vista provides in the design, implementation, and support of your computer systems, you can be assured not only that security risks are minimized, but that your computers will function with the highest level of effectiveness and reliability possible.  More information...
