In 2023, networking should be a breeze
In our technical language, we call network operation and wireless networks NaaS. It stands for "network as a service". This means that you can buy the NaaS service from us and get a box with the network you need, adapted to your needs and operated by us. All you have to do is plug it in. The reason we've done it this way is to simplify your network operation. There should not be many weeks of waiting, customer service and delays in the mail. In 2023, networking should be a breeze.
Therefore, there are few things you have to do when you order a network with us. We just need answers to the most important thing: what level of security does your company need? The configurations we make can make a big difference. Because visiting the office is fine, but not just anyone should be allowed to connect to the network. That's what the guest network is for! Your network must be safe, secure and fast. And employees don't have to worry about which tasks they do on which network.
What role can the network play in security work?
encryption of the web has a lot and say, if you have little or no encryption, the hacker can get between what you send out and the server that will receive it. This happens because the encryption on your router is too weak or not activated, so through an attack the hacker can gain access to your email, username and password. They can even change your passwords and lock you out of your own accounts entirely.
Access points or places where your network box is located, it is important to have control. Fewer access points, without losing quality and speed, means that you reduce the risk. You must have full control over what is where at all times. With NaaS from us, you can get a real clean-up in the current network setup, and at the same time get full control over where you actually need access points.
Certain accesses gives you the opportunity to decide who is allowed to land on to the web. Why do we do it like that? Yes, because the internet must be safe for all employees, regardless of their duties. If you have suppliers, customers and others who need a network, you set up a secure and encrypted guest network for them. You must use your own unique networks only for your work. Not only is it tryggere, but it also gives you a full overview of who is connected or has connected previously. Uncovering security holes is therefore easier. Here it is also important to remove users who no longer work for you. We will help you there!
Firewall yours should not consist of leca blocks or bricks. It should consist of software and equipment that work for you 24/7 every day of the year. So it will be your very own digital security guard! So when you have clarified who will be allowed to connect, the firewall will reject the rest of the people, the hackers and others. This is something our system consultants take care of when setting up your network boxes.
What can actually happen if you have no control over this? A lot can happen then. You can have files go astray, sensitive information posted on the internet, lost revenue and significant downtime.
Do you know what downtime costs?
We might be the first to admit that talking about networking can be pretty boring. It's not something you brag about around the lunch table. Or yes, if the network does not work. Da It will probably be a theme. Quite a hot topic indeed!
Downtime is worse than worst. Many people are not clear about what downtime actually costs. We did research and found out what it costs for an average business. Shall we dare to reveal it? An average company loses everything 43 700 SEK EVERY MINUTE the network is down. It is a lot of money. A network box is therefore not just a box. It can provide 24/7 uptime, secure your files AND keep the hackers away.
Can the network box become your new security chief?
No, it can't. The box will never save companies from disaster. Once a hacker has made up his mind, there are many paths to the goal. But your network box can ward off part of the attack. As we mentioned above, the box is the perfect security guard. He decides who is allowed in and out, but cannot stop an employee or colleague from clicking on the wrong link. There are other measures needed to fix it!
So if you're looking for where to start, we've got a list here. It is based on the National Security Authority's basic principles for ICT security in business.
The most important from NSM's Basic Principles:
- Identify and map what has value and what is important in your business. And map all equipment and software in use (this is where the network box comes in!)
- Protect and maintain control over both the network and who has access to your data. Remove accesses that are outdated or unsafe.
- Discover threats and vulnerabilities in the current solutions that you use.
- Manage and recover should the worst happen. Have contingency plans down to the smallest detail.
NaaS and the box from us is easy
The box or network box from us is a plug-and-play box that gets you online in no time. It ensures a stable and fast network, keeps the bad guys out and helps protect your files. Networking is one of the things that today's society is most dependent on in order to complete their working day. It is therefore extra important that it works.
The service Network as a Service is based on the fact that the costs must be predictable for you as a customer. Therefore, there is a fixed monthly price and a one-month notice period if you no longer need our box. Our whole concept of «boxing» has fallen head over heels for Cisco, and it is one of several reasons why we won the award "Managed Services Partner of the Year 2022". We are very pleased that good work is being noticed!
Are you ready to kick-start your security work? Start with what you can easily control. You almost always need all the equipment and software you use in your business. So why not make sure it's as secure as possible? We're rooting for you!
