Server security is the set of measures that keep a server, its data and the services on it out of the hands of attackers. It includes timely updates, firewalls, strong authentication, limited access rights, malware and spam protection, encrypted connections, logging and backups that can actually be restored. A single compromised server can leak customer data, send spam in the company’s name or take a website offline, so security is a business risk rather than a technical detail. Internet Solutions builds security into the Linux and Windows servers we install and maintain, and we tune them to reduce the impact of spam and viruses. Under IT maintenance we also protect computers and networks against intrusion and viruses and keep data backups. Hosting websites on our own servers with regular backups adds a further layer of protection for clients.
