Why security is so important for SMEs

Your Router + Firewall to connect securely to the Internet

Configure your firewall with easy-to-use traffic rules, controlling in- and outbound communications by URL, application, traffic type and more
Intrusion detection and prevention using the Snort system constantly monitors inbound and outbound network communications for suspicious activity. Log or block the communications depending on the severity
Prevent viruses, worms, Trojans and spyware from entering your network. Kerio Control goes beyond just checking files for malicious code; it scans your network traffic for potential attacks

Connect your organization with a secure VPN
