Threats include data loss caused by malicious intent; Internet-based worm, denial-of-service, and virus attacks; security compromises by internal sources; and penetration attacks aimed at stealing or damaging valuable assets.
Managing and coordinating virus protection, detection and defense along with the recovery of critical systems requires an on-going effort that entails a variety of tools, procedures, and policies. ACTS can assist you at any level in your efforts to protect your information system, from security audits to creating a comprehensive security strategy.

    Disaster Recovery and Virus Removal

    ACTS has expertise in recovering computers that have been compromised, are suspect, or have failed as a result of a security breach. ACTS can help assess the damage caused by the attack, and restore normal business operations and any data lost during the attack. ACTS experience with security reduces your downtime and allows ACTS to recommend efficient ways to prevent or contain future attacks.


    Security Planning

    Every business should have a carefully thought out security strategy that includes both proactive and reactive plans. The proactive or pre-attack strategy is a set of steps that helps to minimize vulnerabilities and develop contingency plans. The reactive strategy or post-attack strategy helps security personnel to assess the damage caused by an attack, repair the damage, document the experience, and get business functions running as soon as possible.

    ACTS expert IT consultants can help you perform a full risk assessment and define a computer security strategy to implement security policies and controls to minimize future attacks and threats.
