Anti-Spam

Spam remains a considerable problem for businesses, with market leading security brand Sophos research recently revealing that 89.7% of all business email is spam. Sophos further identifies approximately 6,500 new spam-related WebPages every day — that’s one new website every 13 seconds, 24 hours a day. This figure has almost doubled from what it was in the same period of 2008 (one every 20 seconds).
It is important that more is done to raise awareness amongst computer users about the importance of keeping their PCs secure. It is estimated that over 99% of all spam is sent from home users’ botnet computers that are not properly protected with up-to-date anti-virus software, firewalls and security patches. At cmi we provide Anti-spam advice and solutions to protect your systems and prevent you being bombarded by spam.

Anti Spyware/Malware

The web remains a major vehicle for cybercriminals looking to infect computers around the world.  The vast majority of infected websites are in fact legitimate sites that have been hacked to carry malicious code, or, more commonly, scripts that then download further malicious scripts from third-party websites. Users visiting the websites may be infected by simply visiting affected web pages, or be fooled into downloading malicious code onto their computer.
The scope of these attacks cannot be underestimated, since all types of sites — from government departments and educational establishments to embassies and political parties to websites devoted to high-tech gadgets and online programming communities — have been targeted.

Anti Virus

With an unprotected PC your system can become exposed to viruses’ through e-mail attachments or simply by browsing a Web site.

We provide a range of anti-virus software from leading market brands such as Sophos and Symantic that will protect your systems against known and emerging virus infections.

Disaster Recovery (DR)

Unplanned events such as power cuts, floods and fires can be catastrophic to businesses causing not only loss of profits but loss of resources and data. Disaster Recovery (DR) ensures that your IT systems and data can be restored after unscheduled downtime.

Disaster Recovery can be included as part of your Business Continuity Management (BCM) plan. This focuses on the prevention of such events rather than the cure of DR. In such cases DR has become a subset of the whole BCM process.

At cmi we advise on a DR plan to meet the individual needs of your organisation. In the event of a disaster, you can concentrate on managing the business and meeting the needs of your customers and we will take the responsibility for getting your IT systems up and running in the fastest possible time.

There are many ways you can unintentionally lose information on a computer, from power surges floods and fires to user errors or unexpected equipment failures. Lost data causes significant disruption to business resulting in lost time, labour, lost billings, and lost customers.

With data loss having detrimental effects on business, 34% of companies still fail to test their tape backup and of those that do 77% have found back-up failures.
