As we know, introducing a network to business
management isn't easy especially if you don't have an IT
staff. If it has more than one location, ensuring that everyone
within the company has access to the data they need, will
become even more complicated.
Of course, having a network
is only the beginning. You have to protect it against viruses,
spam and intrusion attacks, too. Network protection and
management can be overwhelming with limited budgets.
An AMI research study from 2003 states that
55 percent of companies don't feel protected enough when
it comes to network security. In addition, the rate of security
threats has increased seven fold in the past 2.5 years.
Especially for SMBs, they are underserved because they typically
can't afford to maintain the type big enough of network
environment. They tend to buy discrete network components
and cobble them together.
That's where Altravision Application Security
Firewalls (ASF) can make a difference. Designed specifically
for solving such problems, ASF contains eight different
network capabilities in one plug-and-play device. It resides
behind a bridge, modem, router or internet gateway, and
provides a complete network environment and infrastructure
which lets companies focus on deploying applications instead
of spending time on the nuts and bolts of running a network.
Furthermore, it combines enterprise-class capability with
pricing that even SMBs can manage.
"There's a real digital divide," one
business owner says. "The big guys gain a competitive
advantage because they can distribute their networks more
efficiently. With the Altravision ASF, we're bridging the
affordability gap."
