The Five FoundationServices of Managed IT

IT Security

Just what is IT Security? This is our rather long (but thorough!) definition: IT Security is the technology, processes, training, and best practices designed to protect and recover internet-connected systems including networks, devices, programs, and data from cyberattacks, damage, or unauthorized access.

The goal of Adept’s security program is simply to protect and defend your intellectual and confidential assets.

As you can see in the graph below, the services list is long in this category. Why are there so many protections? Because there are so many points of entry available to hackers. Each service plays a vital role in protecting your data, which in turn can protect your business from liability, financial loss, and a ruined reputation.

Endpoint Security

What it is: Endpoint Security protects your network and data when accessed by users. We secure laptops, tablets, smartphones and other wireless devices with firewalls, antivirus, and intrusion detection tools. Providing visibility to web usage and enforcing acceptable web use policies also helps to secure endpoints. Enterprise mobility management provides security for mobile devices and applications.

Why you want it: Layers of security help protect data when you are at the office or on the go.

User Management

This includes assigning security levels that determine access limits to documents, controlling data sharing and managing an employee’s third party or vendor access.

Training for remote workers is included. Dark Web scans alert you to compromised credentials.
