Networking Your Firm or Office Wired networks offer the ultimate in data transfer speeds and security. Wireless networks are also available, and offer portability to notebook computer users within your office. Your network can use both types of technology. Information generated by attorneys, secretaries, and paralegals using workstation computers can be stored on a "server" computer for easy backup and data security. Community peripherals, such as printers and scanners, can be shared among several people. What About Network Security? As an office grows into a larger firm, there may be more than one physical location to deal with. Nowadays, many firms employ encrypted "tunneling" technology to use the Internet as a low-cost way to connect several office locations together. No longer is a dedicated and expensive circuit required when a firm has more than one physical location. |

Proper planning and implementation of a local area network, and its connection to the Internet, is critical for the best security and file transfer speed. How old is your network? Is it up to today's standards? Do you have spyware or keyloggers watching your actions even now? Many do and are completely unaware of it. This is a much bigger problem than most attorneys realize. Most spyware or malware intruders do not announce their presence in an easily detectible way, since they are primarily concerned with obtaining information about you and sending it to remote parties. If your network is several years old, have you wondered whether it is really secure against the constant barrage of spam coming from all directions? The trojans, spyware, keystroke & password capturers, and viruses all love an insecure network. Data loss and Identify Theft are distinct possibilities without proper firewalling, and other security protections. Is your network really secure? We'll happily help you make it so! Besides Sharing Peripherals, What Other Benefits Can a Network Bring? Have you ever considered hosting your own legal website, or using an internal email server? As an office grows, it can benefit from bringing certain outsourced technologies in-house instead. The costs have fallen drastically on doing so. It allows an attorney or group of attorneys to more closely control how their business is structured. Using proper software included in most server computer installations, a set of rules can be applied to all the computers on the network. These rules can prevent employees from installing software, screen-savers, or potentially damaging outside programs on your local office computers. The workstation computers can have various limitations imposed that prevent employees from browsing damaging websites, accidentally uninstalling critical software, or deleting important data files. A network allows better control of how and where your business data is viewed and stored. It allows safeguards to be created that prevents damage to your critical data either accidentally or maliciously. However, networks, like computers, must be updated from time to time.
