Making Security More Secure

Today, companies invest heavily to increase the speed and efficiency of their networks, all in an effort to service the needs of customers. But without appropriate levels of security, the cost of doing business can skyrocket. Time Warner Telecom can help keep your network secure while keeping costs in check.

Virtual Private Networks

Virtual Private Networks (VPN) use connections routed through the Internet from a company's private network to remote sites in order to provide data privacy. Thus, they provide a virtual private connection over a public infrastructure.

But many companies need the additional security of Internet Security Protocol Virtual Private Networks (IPSec VPN). IPSec protocols encrypt data between firewalls and routers, or better, between two firewalls. Using IPSec in conjunction with a VPN affords a much higher level of protection than any other type of VPN because it encrypts the data rather than just segmenting it from other traffic. Segmented data is still susceptible to interception by unauthorized parties. If an encrypted IPSec VPN tunnel were intercepted, prying eyes would not be able to decipher the information.

Time Warner Telecom has developed customizable, scalable security services to bring IPSec VPNs to companies of all sizes. By encrypting all traffic over the VPN, the data that travels is protected. Premise-to-premise data encryption can use DES, 3DES, or AES to ensure the security of the data.

Managed Security Services

Software and security protocols disbursed throughout your network can keep viruses and other threats from damaging your data. Unfortunately, some people are committed to finding ways to breach network security systems. The good news is that Time Warner Telecom offers scalable, customizable security solutions to help companies implement solid security policies.

Using a Time Warner Telecom network-based firewall and Secure IP VPN, attacks on your network are detected and mitigated before they reach your equipment. The Layer 3 Stateful Packet Inspection (L3SPI) protects all ports accessible via the Internet and provides network data encryption. Anyone trying to breach your system runs into a firewall before a link can be established.

Whether your business is small, doesn't employ a large IT department, or needs an extra layer of security, the professionals at Time Warner Telecom can help. CPE firewall and Secure IP VPN services add extra protection at the location level. A security device can be easily installed at your location to provide L3SPI and IP Sec VPN protection.
