Computer Security Monitoring: Optimize Assets

Most businesses do not have the luxury to continuously pay for application and equipment upgrades in the hope of staying current with security updates. Without a comprehensive security
testing system in place, the best you can do is simply hope that nothing bad comes as a result of not upgrading.
To help avoid unnecessary upgrades, Lovrin Technologies' Computer Security Monitoring service examines both older and newer versions of products for security vulnerabilites. We list available patches or workarounds, and suggest upgrades only in the most critical situations. Avoiding costly upgrades can more than pay for our service. Consider a business that uses Microsoft Office 2003 -- going on five years old now. Feature-wise, their employees are happy with it, and management wants to stretch out the perhaps $500 per copy cost as much as possible before spending more on an upgrade to Office 2007. They periodically check for Microsoft patches and hope the patches cover all known vulnerabilities and that they get installed properly. Suddenly, a machine becomes infected with a virus shortly after viewing a Word document sent by a customer. They cannot determine the exact cause for the virus outbreak and, in haste, upgrade Office and perhaps other programs, too, such as Adobe Acrobat. Thousands of dollars later, they're back in a similar position: what vulnerabilities does the new software contain, and will we need to upgrade next year to Office 2008? Our Computer Security Monitoring service will alert you when upgrades are unavoidably necessary, and otherwise maintain secure systems without leap-of-faith expenses. |
