Reducing Costs Whilst Increasing Security

Local Government agencies, such as councils, are under considerable pressure to deliver services with fewer resources. Legacy security products have not changed with the greater adoption of the Internet, and many security polices no longer have the depth to address the changing threats that now are targeted at our users. With a limit on resources, the ability to actively maintain a security policy has become a challenge.

Network Box offers a way out of this dilemma by providing consolidation of the security functions that are required to protect users that are active on the Internet, and deliver the skills to keep these policies pro-active through its managed service. The result is a reduced licence cost and access to experts that will keep your policies up-to-date and active.
