Managed Cyber Security & Video Surveillance Systems
When it comes to network and cybersecurity, it is easy for small to medium sized businesses to say “not me”, “they are only after the big guys.” The reality is that attacks on all networks have been increasing year after year as hackers have become more sophisticated, and small businesses are being affected every day by relaxed or non-existent security policies.
A 2013 study showed that 1 in every 5 small businesses networks would be compromised. With the ever-increasing technological advances, it is likely that since then, these numbers have climbed, posing a significant risk for a potential breach, lost or stolen data, or some type of malicious threat.
How Atiwa Computing Can Help You Minimize Cyber Security Risk
There are a number of ways Atiwa Computing in Houston helps to ensure that you are at minimum risk:
-
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 and cybersecurity. Using sophisticated software and tools, hackers are easily gaining access to small business networks through simple or default passwords.
- Antivirus/Antispam - Most people know that antivirus and antispam software are necessary components of network and cybersecurity, but many people don’t realize why its so important until their computer or network is already infected with a virus, malware, spyware, or a host of other potentially dangerous issues.
- Content filtering - Have a system in place that will enforce your policy by automatically “policing” your company e-mail and Internet usage, blocking sites and content you don’t want your employees to access without hindering their ability to work online.
No matter the size of your business, network and cybersecurity is a definite requirement for every business in the digital age. If you are worried or unsure of where to start with an internal security audit, our team can help get you on track.

Penetration Testing
Penetration testing, also known as pentesting, can be viewed as “ethical hacking”. This is a controlled cyberattack we perform on your computer system in order to evaluate its security. With professional penetration testing by our Houston IT and cybesecurity experts, we can exercise any attempts to compromise your security the way hackers would.
This gives us valuable insight into what currently works for your system and what improvements could be made to your security efforts, which allows us to be proactive in keeping you and your team safe and protected.
Cabling Services
Cabling is not something many businesses think about because when everything is working, no one's concerned about what connects their entire network. However, once something goes wrong and a connection fails, it can be incredibly detrimental not only to your data, but to your bank account too.
Before your network goes down, contact Atiwa Computing in Houston. Not only can we help you fix something once it has gone wrong, we can prevent a problem from ever happening in the first place. When you choose Atiwa Computing for your cabling needs, you're also choosing:
- Up to Code Installation - Many cable installation companies disregard code completely when it comes to creating a network. We're not only aware of Houston's code, each installation meets or exceeds all city codes.
- Quality Service - Our experts will install your cables efficiently, quickly, and cost-effectively.
- Expert Advice - Having trouble choosing between CAT5E or CAT6 cabling? Don't know if you need new cabling, or just some maintenance? No problem - we'll help you make the best choice for your office.
Ransomware Protection
Ransomware attacks result in your business’s valuable and private files becoming encrypted so you can no longer access your own information. The only way to get it back, of course, is by paying tremendous sums of money for what’s rightfully yours. At Atiwa Computing we can implement safety measures to protect your small business from falling victim to ransomware attacks.
VPN Solutions
As a small to medium sized business, a VPN is a great way to increase your business’s security. In order to operate, your office has a network from which you and your employees can access files and other devices. When employees work remotely, however, they are more vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. By utilizing a VPN, you can control who has access to your network while also creating a barrier between cyberattackers and your valuable data.
Email Solutions and Spam Protection
As your business grows, so does your network security needs. Spam may begin to multiply and your network will become more vulnerable to attacks such as phishing and malware. To prevent infringement upon your information, you will need a good e-mail system and an exceptional spam protection. Our e-mail solutions and spam protection services can help. When you sign up with Atiwa Computing's email solution and spam protection services today, you can expect a system that will:

Network Security Assessments
Before you can upgrade your network and cybersecurity measures, it’s important to undergo an assessment. This gives our experts the opportunity to evaluate your current practices and come up with a solution that works best for you.
VOIP Phones
With a VOIP phone system, you have the option to host your system elsewhere instead of keeping additional hardware (and a server) in your workplace. This way, you can enjoy functionality, flexibility, and lower costs.
Data Backup & Recovery

Multi-Factor Authentication Solutions
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a method in which anyone attempting to access certain resources (VPN, files, etc) is required to verify their identity in various ways. The default method a cyber-attacker uses to access your resources is by guessing the username and password. These attackers are only getting smarter, so figuring out passwords is incredibly easy for them. Because of this, MFA is crucial to keep your business safe as it decreases the risk of suffering from a cyber attack.
Disaster Recovery
By nature, disaster strikes when you least expect it. Try as you might to implement effective network and cybersecurity solutions, don’t forget that there are always ways to improve upon your current efforts. Our team of IT experts are simply a phone call away! With our remote monitoring platform, chances are that once you’ve called in a disaster, we are already looking into it and actively solving your IT disaster so you can get back to work and the problem doesn’t occur again.
