Corporate Network Security for Small Businesses in Switzerland

Creative Solution Consulting GmbH has released the first managed security package for small businesses in Switzerland at less than a tenth of monthly salary of a network administrator. CS Dedicated Surveillance Package is a convenience for small businesses to ensure their systems are secured, resourced and maintained accordingly, perform optimally and are managed under theirs IT policies.

Zurich, CH (PRWEB) June 8, 2004 --The drastic rises in the last 2 years of security attacks and incidents have translated into the complexity of protecting businesses' network systems integrity. It is not enough to just purchase the appliances and connect them. To further the complication is the configuration of a network which could have up to 10 different internet connectivity and security products each with its own maintenance requirements such as virus signature update, hot fixes and patches. With each vendor supporting only their own product, internal system integration and multi-vendor knowledge across the network is a prerequisite to ensuring that each device is working optimally. In a small business, an IT manager usually has triple duties in other areas, which make the management of network security system a nightmare.

Creative Solution's CIO Jürgen K. Haller, explained the strategy: 'At Creative Solution, it is our mission to answer to the needs expressed by many in this violent market. Businesses of all sizes face the same intensity of attacks and hence need the same amount of proper protection in the form of hardware, software and human intelligence. This new service gives our small business clients in Switzerland the alternative to enterprise level security protection without the cost burden. It is like having their own IT security professional on duty 24 hrs a day on an affordable budget. CS Dedicated Surveillance are designed to support products from multiple vendors focusing on enforcing clients IT security policies.'

Using both proprietary system and technique, CS Dedicated Surveillance scans client's network servers, routers, switches, firewall, anti-virus gateway and VPN for any vulnerabilities and impending threats 24-7-365. With any anomaly detected, a real-time alert with detailed how-to preventative steps is sent to clients. An array of opt-in features such as e-mail and web content filtering, patch and fixes management, data backup, report update, and access to security expert is available, further customizes the service for the business needs. All from a startling low price of CHF595 for businesses with fewer than 25 employees and CHF1295 for those with between 25 and 50 employees.

A preliminary security assessment is included with a year contract to make sure the company starts off on the right foot. In the assessment, open weak spots and holes are identified and fixes are recommended by one of Creative Solution's security expert.
