Due to a lack of preventative security measures, most corporate computer networks remain vulnerable to downtime, data loss and/or theft, and access by unauthorized personnel. These security attacks can take many forms and are extremely costly to organizations that have not taken the time to secure their defenses.

According to the 2001 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey, 91% of respondents (primarily large corporations and government agencies) detected computer security breaches within the last twelve months. 64% acknowledged financial losses due to computer breaches. Those citing their Internet connections as a frequent point of attack rose from 59% in 2000 to 70% in 2001.

Terry Weadock, the President of Dominant Systems, states, “Most businesses don’t know how much of their private information can be reached from the Internet. Your business secrets could be at risk. Many companies don’t take action until it’s too late.”

To combat this problem, Dominant Systems has developed a suite of services designed to help businesses evaluate the vulnerability of their networks and any existing security measures currently in place. Dominant Systems will quickly identify the businesses’ potential risk from outside intrusions, virus attacks, or network downtime due to hardware or software failures.

The Snapshot Internet Security Scan includes a one-time scan of the business’s Internet connection, a detailed and confidential report of any vulnerabilities found, and a meeting with the Dominant Systems network specialists to discuss the report.

The Thorough Internet Security Scan includes four different types of Internet scans and seven sets of scans over a one week period, as well as a detailed and confidential report and meeting with Dominant Systems.

The Comprehensive Security Assessment includes the Thorough Internet Security Scan. Also included is an on-site assessment, a detailed report, and meeting with Dominant Systems.

The Security Update/Maintenance service includes fixing security holes, updating virus software, installing patches and fixes, assistance in developing a security plan, and regular maintenance.
