Small Business Network Security

Small business network security with Virtual Support Teks

In today's digital landscape, no Cleveland business is too small to be a target for cybercriminals.

Virtual Support Teks provides comprehensive network security services designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses throughout Northeast Ohio.

Whether you're operating from downtown Cleveland, the suburbs, or anywhere in Cuyahoga County, our proactive security solutions protect your vital business data from sophisticated cyber attacks.

Cleveland businesses face increasing cyber threats daily—from ransomware attacks to data breaches. Virtual Support Teks specializes in protecting Northeast Ohio companies with enterprise-level security solutions at small business prices.

There are a number of ways Virtual Support Teks in Cleveland ensure that you are at minimum risk with our small business network security services:

  • Updates – Keeping computers and network equipment updated is one of the most effective steps to preventing a possible network security issue.
  • Firewall – A common mistake in small to medium business networks is the lack of a business grade firewall solution. Often business owners are unaware of the difference between having a network router and having a network firewall in place.
  • Passwords – Password and password protection are proving to be an area that needs attention when discussing network security. Using sophisticated software and tools, hackers are easily breaching small business network security through simple or default passwords
  • Antivirus/Antispam – Most people know that antivirus and antispam software are necessary components of network security, but many people don’t realize why its so important until their computer or network is infected with a virus, malware, spyware, or a host of other potentially dangerous issues.

No matter the size of your business, network security is a “do or die” requirement for any business in the digital age. If you’re not sure where to start with an internal security audit, our team can help get you on track.

What is a VPN?

A VPN isn't a physical thing that can be seen or touched—it's a method of connecting to a private network over the internet. A VPN is like a secure tunnel between two networks that lets users on either end access resources on each other's private networks as if they were part of their own private networks.
VPNs are an affordable and effective way to protect your business from the following threats:
Hackers. With a VPN, you can ensure that hackers have no access to your data if they manage to break into your network. To get around this, most companies use two-factor authentication (2FA) on their VPNs as well as other security measures such as firewalls and antivirus software.
A good VPN will keep your business safe from outside hackers by anonymizing users' IP addresses so that nobody can tell where they're coming from or going to; it also encrypts all traffic over the internet so that nobody else can get hold of it either.

VPNs work by creating a virtual encrypted tunnel between two points. The tunnel is created using a protocol that runs over the existing network infrastructure. This protocol can be either IPsec, PPTP, or L2TP over UDP-based protocols like OpenVPN. Once the tunnel is up, it creates a secure connection between these two points that protects data being transmitted between them.
Data traveling through this connection is sent in chunks called packets. These packets are encrypted before they are sent so no one can access them except authorized users on either end of the connection.
