Current events are causing more worries about network integrity and information privacy.

AMHERST, MA – THELIX INTERNET (www.thelix.net) has expanded offerings in the Internet Security category to provide comprehensive services for network, email, e-commerce, and website security – issues that are at the forefront of business consciousness today for good reason. With more than $25B at stake in holiday e-commerce sales according to Gartner Group, and a 121% increase in the number of business security incidents reported by CERT in 2000, businesses are looking for ways to keep their customers, information and money safe.

Most people dont realize that they are vulnerable," says Thelix Internet CEO, James Triplett. If you look at the FBI/Sans Institute Top 20 Vulnerabilities, even the most ubiquitous and respected operating systems have holes that need to be plugged. Its difficult for businesses to keep on top of where the holes are – whats been fixed and whats newly broken."

Thelix Internet has introduced nine new services to cover everything from secure credit card order-taking, to triple virus-screened email servers, to managed network firewalls. These services allow small businesses to have security experts at their disposal, and keep their information and customers safe from malicious intent.
