JKS Cyber Security – October is the national month of Cyber Security Awareness.

One point of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), every October, is to provide business owners with the assets to ensure their property and client information. In a period of developing cybercrime, a safe and secure Internet is essential to building a successful business.

As business owner, you can make the Internet more secure by taking an interest in National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Consider JKS to help your business become more secure.

Breaches in security by thieves, hackers, and intruders can be lessened by practicing some basic physical and network security protocols such as:

Implementing a security system on the premises.

Requiring that all employees and visitors wear badges to identify them.

Enforcing computer security measures such as logging out of work stations when they are not in use.

• Requiring employees to use complex passwords that are not easily guessed.
• Requiring employees to frequently change passwords.
• Preventing employees from logging into personal email accounts.
• Preventing employees from accessing sites that may jeopardize the security of the network.

To help secure your internet JKS offers:

• Disaster Recovery
• Network Security
• Network Assessment
• Backup

Disaster Recovery

Having a solid Disaster Recovery plan is imperative to ensure the security of your business. A Disaster Recovery plan is a set of policies and procedures which allow a company to recover and continue business as usual in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. These plans must consider all foreseeable and non-foreseeable events such as: floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, malicious attacks (viruses, acts of terrorism), hazardous material events, power failures or surges, etc.

Benefits of Implementing a Disaster Recovery Backup Plan:

• Ensuring your business can continue to operate in the event of a disaster.
• Reducing downtime by mitigating disasters.
• Customer retention.
• Increase the confidence of your partners and clients.

Network Security

Keeping your network secure allows your employees to focus on their job duties without interruption. Breaches in security can bring down entire networks, damage software and hardware, as well as cause you to lose critical data. Companies and their clients are becoming more vulnerable as personal data is being readily shared over the internet. Digital data collection allows companies to be more versatile and have a broader customer base, but also opens up the possibility of a security breach.

Strong Network Security Protocols Include:

• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) or Intrusion Protection Systems (IPS)
• Firewall
• Anti-Malware software and scanners
• Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

Network Assessment

Network Assessments usually begin with constructing a network map which depicts your network layout. We analyze all hardware and software and create an inventory report. We can then provide summaries of all devices and identify any that may have performance issues to prevent any future problems. We can help you create a remediation plan to correct any problems your network may have as well as provide steps to optimize your performance.

The assessment measures and analyzes the performance of:

• Network components such as switches, routers, and hubs.
• Applications used for email, databases, antivirus removal, and backups.
• Security measures such as firewall.
• Disaster Recovery or business continuity capabilities and plans.
• Remote access such as VPN, mobile devices, or terminal servers.
• Network infrastructure such as wiring and switch configuration.

Backup

As the use of technology continues to grow, so does the volume of data companies are accruing. Data is an integral part of any company’s business. However, it is imperative to have a solid practice of backing up the data to ensure no loss occurs. Maintaining the backup regimen and data library can be a daunting task, especially for small businesses with no dedicated IT department.

Benefits of Backup:

• Business Continuity
• Data Insurance
• Flexible Local Storage
• Reduced Recovery Time

Your Data is our top priority with Cloud

JKS IT Essential Services – Why Business Need Cloud.

High Level of Security

To JKS, your data is our top priority. All client information is completely ensured by information encryption, Enterprise Firewalls and Network Security Management gadgets. Information security is getting more and more important with each day, so why risk it?

Lowering Operating Expenses
Eliminating upfront capital expenses for hardware, ongoing maintenance costs, and office space expenses required to store IT equipment are just a few ways our Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering can positively impact the bottom line of your business.

Document Control

The more employees and partners that collaborate on documents, the more noteworthy the requirement for watertight document control becomes. Prior to the cloud, workers needed to send documents back and forth via email connections to be chipped away at by one user at once. At some point or another, you wind up with a mess of conflicting file content, formats and titles. When you make the move to cloud computing, all documents are stored centrally and everybody sees one variant of the truth. Greater visibility means improved collaboration, which ultimately means better work and a healthier bottom line.

Staffing Efficiency

Cloud services can help you keep up a productive innovation staff by outsourcing key specialized specializations or innovation staff as it makes sense for your business.

Environment Friendly

The earth gets a little love as well with cloud computing. At the point when your cloud needs vacillate, your server limit scales here and there to fit. So you only utilize the energy you need and you don't leave larger than necessary carbon footprints.

Be prepared before it is too late - The Importance of Power Backup

In an emergency situation, is your business building or office prepared? major storm hit your area with a large-scale power failure that resulted in complete loss of power?  On the off chance that your business office is anything like numerous others the country over, it is likely unprepared to handle a sustained power failure

Truth be told, most business offices don't have adequate backup power that would be necessary to keep the facility running in the event of a total power failure. According to surveys on emergency backup power and power controls, an across the nation test of offices administrators demonstrates wide crevices between what they have, what they need, and what they require.

Now is the ideal time to evaluate your business office and decide the steps necessary to guarantee your facility has access to the emergency generator power it might need in the event of a massive blackout. Some power outages, for example, power failures from national grids, are not unsurprising. Indeed, even along these lines, it should be expected that power grid failures will spontaneously and randomly occur at periodic, short intervals. While less normal, complete power outages do happen. When they do, they can keep going for amplified timeframes and cause complete shutdowns of business offices. Power outages can basically close down a business office's operations for a drawn out timeframe.

Preparation is the Best Defense Against Power Outages in Commercial Facilities

Just the thought about a complete force blackout can be overwhelming for business office owners or supervisors. The likelihood of a total power failure - either because of a natural disaster, a man-made disaster, or a blackout - should not and cannot be overlooked. An ideal opportunity to get ready is before a crisis - not afterward. Being proactive in securing your business office before a force blackout happening

Right now is an ideal opportunity to survey your business office and determine the steps necessary to guarantee your facility has access to the emergency generator power it might need in the event of a massive blackout. Some power outages, for example, power failures from national grids, are not unsurprising. Indeed, even along these lines, it should not be considered out of the ordinary that power grid failures will spontaneously and randomly occur at periodic, short intervals. While less regular, total power outages do happen. When they do, they can keep going for broadened timeframes and cause complete shutdowns of business offices. Power outages can basically close down a business office's operations for a drawn out timeframe.

Be prepared before it is too late!

JKS IT Essential Services – Network Infrastructure Essentials with Cisco HyperFlex for VDI with VMware Horizon View

 Solution Purpose

Cisco HyperFlex Systems are based on the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) platform. They offer quicker deployment and greater flexibility and efficiency at a competitive price while lowering risk for the customer. Demonstrated segments from Cisco are incorporated to Cisco are integrated to form a software-defined storage (SDS) platform. This methodology wipes out or diminishes the requirement for planning and configuration choices, while permitting customization to meet client workload needs. The platform and management model adopted is an extension of the established Cisco UCS data center strategy, with familiar components managed in a consistent manner through a policy-based framework using Cisco UCS Manager.

The fundamental issues that add to working expenses are:

• Complexity: Complex frameworks take more time to send and require a more prominent number of exceptionally talented specialized staff individuals. The large number of advancements and apparatuses required to keep the base running and the nonstandard techniques presented by this methodology directly affect disappointment rates, adding to considerably more expenses to the business.
• Stranded limit: Even with virtualization, IT asset utilization is not ideal. The business prerequisites and registering and capacity needs of workloads change after some time, possibly bringing about unused processing or capacity assets in the undertaking. One approach to keep this underutilization of assets is to bring adaptability into the engineering so you can grow registering and capacity assets autonomously.

Changing the Industry with BYOD

The consumerization of IT is at full speed ahead. Employees need to have the capacity to access to business applications from personal mobile devices. According to 2016 studies on IT Priorities, 52% of IT administrators worldwide plan to implement a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) activity in 2017, and 43% plan to deploy mobile applications.

Top Five Points of BYOD

• Any Device, Anywhere - Remote desktop enables workers to access their office PCs, laptops, virtual desktops and applications from any device, anywhere
• Freedom of Choice - Give workers freedom in selecting a mobile device for business with a free mobile app compatible with any iOS or Android version and platform.
• Rapid Deployment - Quickly and cost-effectively enable a BYOD strategy with a scalable appliance-based solution that is easy to deploy, manage and use.
• Eliminate Data Leakage - Enable access to business applications from personal devices without exposing the corporate network and without the risk of data leakage, using proxy architecture and RDP over SSL.
• Mobilize Any Application - Deliver any application on desktops, laptops, virtual desktops and terminal servers to a secure mobile app on smart phones and tablets to address the lack of native mobile applications for business.

Originally designed for secure remote PC and laptop access, SSL VPNs have adapted and evolved over the years as BYOD morphed from a buzzword to reality for many businesses. The SSL VPN solutions of today, offer a wide range of support for smart mobile devices. And, due to their unique position at the network edge, with visibility into the endpoints and policy-based control over access to network resources, SSL VPNs can be your first line of defense for BYOD.

Additional Benefits of BYOD

• Greater Productivity
• Cost Efficiency and Lowered IT Spending
• Less Security Risks
• Consistent Updates
• Work Anywhere

Array’s SSL VPN solution provides granular access control based on user and role, and host-checking can verify device and user identity as well as whether the endpoint meets security parameters like anti-virus, anti-spyware, personal firewalls, allowed OS version, etc. A mobile client supports secure access for native business apps and HTML5 apps via a secure browser, and all data associated with enterprise apps is stored in a secure container to prevent data leakage. The secure container can be remotely wiped in the event of loss or theft of a mobile device, and device-based identification can be used to prevent future SSL VPN connectivity by that device.
