Internet Security & Firewalls Explained


Internet Security can be broken into two fundamental parts. One key element of security is to protect your network from external forces like hackers and unauthorized intruders. The other element is where the greatest majority of breaches occur – internally.

Brains Technology provides solutions to protect against both your external and internal Internet security threats. The optimal method to protect your network, valuable intellectual property, resources and investments externally is with a firewall. Every business has valuable information and assets that need to be protected. An unprotected network connected to the Internet is like leaving your car running with the doors unlocked and the keys in it. A firewall is a device that acts as a barrier to unwanted visitors, keeping your network and data secure. It allows access to the network only to permitted users.

Internal security and protection is best accomplished with a sophisticated set of policies and Anti-Virus software. For many businesses, NS’s Video Camera Surveillance Over Internet System has also proven to deter and solve many internal threats.

What is a Virtual Private Network (VPN)?
A virtual private network (VPN) is a private data network that leverages the public telecommunication infrastructure, maintaining privacy through the use of a tunnelling protocol and security procedures. A VPN can be contrasted with a system of owned or leased lines that can only be used by one company (e.g. “dedicated lines” and “frame relay”). The idea of the VPN is to give the company the same capabilities at much lower cost by using the shared public infrastructure rather than a private one.

In essence, a VPN uses high-speed Internet connections at two or more locations with sophisticated encryption technologies to securely send and receive this data amidst your company’s multiple offices, mobile workforce, and/or home offices.

Brains Technology is one of the few Pakistani companies whom provide VPNs with high-speed Internet connections to businesses coast to coast in Pakistan.
