Safety takes more than just locking the office door each night.

Sparktivity always recommends industry-standard protections like firewalling the internal network from the Internet, frequent workstation scanning to detect malware, securing wireless networks against data intercepts, and timely installation of software security patches.

Beyond rudimentary measures applicable to all businesses, Sparktivity provides guidance to creative professional organizations needing more than just the basics.

Sparktivity has addressed many mainstream and auxiliary security issues with solutions including:

• Configuration and deployment of network security appliances from leading hardware vendors.
• Installation and configuration of anti-virus and anti-spyware tools from Microsoft, McAfee, Symantec, Grisoft, Safer Networking Limited, and The ClamAV Project.
• Implementation of comprehensive facility security, including workstation, server, and peripheral protection against unauthorized access, theft, extreme temperature, and power interruption.
• Training users to defend against common social engineering tactics designed to reveal sensitive company information like personnel lists, security procedures, and system passwords.
• Modification of user security policies to limit administrator-level workstation access, and to require regular password rotation.
• Vetting and selection of vendors providing offsite storage and rotation of critical backup and archival media.
• Deployment of centralized software management tools, enabling continuous auditing of licensing compliance for total legal protection against infringement claims.
• Preservation of financial resources via the utilization of open-source and free software where suitable, and by the consolidation of all major proprietary software to volume licensing with maintenance agreements.

From environmental and social protections to legal, data, and budgetary safeguards, Sparktivity can protect your team with strategies to secure overlooked failure points not commonly thought of as IT security vulnerabilities.
