The Benefits of Netgenie As A Secure Wi-Fi Business Network Solution
Why Netgenie Offers A Secure Wi-Fi Business Network SolutionNetwork security breaches are costly to every business in terms of lost data, downtime, recovery time, potentially lost business or resulting litigation, to name but some of the inconveniences. Another potential hazard in the workplace is reduced productivity due to personnel spending time browsing non-business related sites or undertaking non-business related activities. Therefore, it is prudent, and indeed imperative, for every business to protect itself by ensuring its network security is impenetrable. Netgenie offers excellent protection against these risks for small and home businesses through its SOHO (Small Offices, Home Offices) wireless Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution. Installing And Configuring Netgenie Is EasyThe Netgenie SOHO product removes the headaches and expense normally associated with setting up a secure business network. This is because it is delivered with all the necessary security settings already configured, and presented through a web based GUI, to protect your Wi-Fi environment from unauthorized access and abuse. This security configuration becomes effective the moment you switch Netgenie on. It also comes 3G ready so, as soon as you connect a USB broadband or a 3G modem device to Netgenie, multiple users within your office can begin sharing Internet facilities simultaneously. Netgenie Security CapabilitiesUnauthorized access to your Netgenie network is prevented by a firewall service with Stateful Packet Inspection and NAT (Network Address Translation) functionally, MAC binding and intrusion prevention capability. The addition of a built-in anti-virus detection system adds further security because it protects against unwelcome downloads and the installation of potentially harmful applications. It also prevents viruses, trojans, spyware and other infected file types from filtering into your network. Its VPN (Virtual Private Network) feature ensures you and your staff can safely access third party networks such as, for example, a client’s office. Although some security threats can stretch beyond your control, you can, at least, implement some mitigation measures within your own business against unnecessary Internet surfing. And, in the process you can ensure optimum productivity amongst your workforce. Netgenie Internet Controls And Reporting FacilitiesThere is always a temptation, and sometimes a necessity, for staff to undertake some personal business during working hours. To many business owners, a reasonable amount is acceptable and may include such activities as making appointments or paying bills online. However, with some personnel, these activities may become extreme and severely impede productivity. The Netgenie SOHO product provides employers with the management tools to control productivity. For example, it offers the facility to block access to certain types of websites such as gaming sites, adult sites, job portals and social networking facilities such as Facebook or Skype. Furthermore, Netgenie provides real-time reports, allowing you to monitor your team’s online activities and respond accordingly. Its reporting functionality extends to network security activities so you can stay abreast of the security status of your system at all times. Although the Netgenie SOHO product is ready-configured and easy to install, a well-chosen supplier will help you with any queries, support or training requirements you have. With their help, you can relax knowing that your secure Wi-fi business network can reliably cater for all your desktop, laptop, iPad or iPhone devices. |
