Manage Inc.- Protect your corporate data- firewalls, routers, virus protection, and employee internet monitoring.

It's no secret that, as e-business booms, the need for Internet security has become a critical business need. According to the FBI and Computer Security Institute, one-third of companies in the United States say that outsiders penetrated their computer systems in 1999. The cost? Upwards of $10 billion in 1999. Factor in computer viruses and the total zooms another $15 billion - to $25 billion in total losses directly attributable to attack and misuse directed against key business data resources.

Protection from the Outside: Firewalls & Routers

Although most organizations understand the need for security measures, the reality is that too many companies, from startups to long-established corporations, remain inadequately protected. Manage, Inc. integrates total information security for networks, servers, applications and desktops. Not only does Manage, Inc. install the necessary hardware - firewalls and routers - we also provide superior customer service and consulting that significantly reduce the complexity and expense inherent in protecting your internal network online assets.

Protection from the Inside - Monitoring Employee Internet Usage

How your employees utilize the Internet is a growing security concern. As the Internet has grown it has created new risks that fall into 3 main categories:

Productivity Problems - Employees are spending way too much time surfing instead of working.
Legal Issues - Employees today access web sites that promote hate groups, pornography, and illegal activities. If viewed by an offended coworker, any of these could bring about costly lawsuits.
Bandwidth Consumption - Frivolous use of the Internet often slows down work-related e-mails, documents, and other traffic on the company network.

Even without factoring in potential litigation costs, a 50-user company with recreational surfing of 30 minutes per day @$10/hour costs the organization $250 per day. The question is, as employers, how do we help our employees do their jobs better with internet access, without incurring losses in productivity and exposing our companies to liability stemming from internet abuse?
