Keeping Your System Secure

At SecPoint we provide software programs to keep your business network secure.

And one of these software applications is the firewall.

The firewall is a gateway that watches the incoming and outgoing traffic flowing on the internet through your computer system.

The idea is for this software to control the circulation of information from your computer, using a database (That holds information on viruses and potential forms of attack on your system, regularly updated as hackers are always finding new ways to trick computers.) in conjunction with customizable settings to stop any unwanted programs or visitors onto your computer.


When looking into getting a firewall program for your network, there are two main kinds to look into (Ignore the freeware versions of the firewall, for a home or single use computer, are okay, but they are not Recommended.) software firewalls and standalone hardware firewalls.


When using networks with different computers and servers, the hardware firewall is recommended.

Some come as an independent component, while others come in a hardware/software bundle.

The hardware will contain quite a few sockets for you to connect different computers and servers too.
