CoreLink Data Centers, StillSecure to Host Online Network Security WebinarApr 10, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- National managed security solutions provider, CoreLink Data Centers and StillSecure, a managed network security services and certified compliance company, will present a free one-hour webinar on April 12th at 12 PM CST, "Beyond the Firewall - Top Network Security Issues and Six Ways to Avoid Them," it was announced. According to a release, the online event is an encore presentation of the November webinar, and is designed to help companies, such as small businesses and healthcare providers, protect valuable data assets from heightened cyber threats against a backdrop of tightened government regulations, growing personnel costs and budgetary restraints. Nav Ranajee, CoreLink's Director of Healthcare, and Neil Carter, StillSecure's Senior Security Network Engineer, will discuss and provide advice about the six most critical tools of network management, and information on how CIOs, business owners, IT managers and security professionals can prevent and detect cyber attacks before they occur. "Being proactive is key not only to helping businesses and professional organizations guard data, but also in ensuring the safety and integrity of their customers, reputations and bottom-line profitability," Ranajee said. In addition to reprising their earlier presentation for general audiences, Ranajee and Carter will also provide tips and information for data protection for healthcare organizations. "As illustrated by the recent Global Payments breach that affected approximately 1.5 million credit card holders, as well as a number of Global Payments servers, cyber criminals and malicious attacks are continually becoming more sophisticated in developing tools and methods to inflict terrible and costly harm upon networks and IT infrastructure," Ranajee said. "Thankfully, the good guys are coming up with ways to stay one step ahead of them, enabling organizations to adhere to PCI DSS standards and maintain a full array of barriers and protections. "IT executives and business owners must be made fully aware of the growing problem and the solutions to guard their networks while accommodating infrastructure growth and changing business requirement," Ranajee continued. "This webinar is targeted at all types of organizations, from small business to large hospitals. It's not a question of if, but when your network will come under attack." Guarding businesses need not be an expensive proposition, added StillSecure's Carter, cautioning that the costs of a network breach usually far outweigh those associated with implementing procedural and technological safeguards. "While some small and medium sized organizations are financially unable to protect their IT assets in-house, readily available and affordable managed security solutions do exist," Carter said. "Nav and I will provide information that companies of all sizes can quickly and painlessly implement, as well as address how managed security can provide the best defense from debilitating attacks against your business." From its Chicago, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Seattle data centers, CoreLink supports and protects business networks against the most sophisticated worms, trojans and viruses. The company provides customers with relentless managed security solutions, continuous expert help, and full transparency backed with a 100 percent Uptime Service Level (SLA) guarantee.
