Mac Security
Security is a vital consideration whether you have a single Macintosh or a complex multi-site network to manage. Sollos Technology Solutions provides a suite of security solutions for your business.
Antivirus
While historically Macintosh system have rarely been the target of viruses, they do exist and with the increasing marketshare and profile for Apple products the potential for future virus attacks will grow. Additionally it is important to realize that even if your Mac cannot get a Windows virus, it can pass that virus on if infected files pass through the machine. While Sollos does not suggest employing invasive commercial virus solutions that are available for Mac OS X, we do utilize the same antivirus technology that Apple implements within the Mac OS X Server product. ClamAV is an Open Source virus solution that can scan your files for viruses without the overhead and compatibility problems that plague most commercial antivirus tools for Mac OS X.
Backup
Backup is an important aspect of your security considerations. Sollos will help your company implement a redundant backup solution including Time Machine hourly backups, periodic full system cloning as well as offsite disaster recovery.
Firewall
While Apple's Airport Base Stations provide best of class wireless solutions, Sollos recommends most businesses implement a dedicated firewall solution as their edge network device. Sollos implements best of class Open Source firewall solutions for our clients that provide professional-grade functionality at affordable pricing. Our firewall solutions include traffic filtering, scheduled functionality, powerful traffic reporting features, and multiple VPN options including site-to-site VPN for multi-site networks.
Laptop Data Encryption
Apple's MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops are powerful workstations that many people rely on as their primary or sole computer system. Your laptop holds sensitive information about you and can easily be lost or stolen. To protect against data and identity theft, Sollos can configure full disk encryption for your MacBook or MacBook Pro. Our solutions utilize hardware accelerated encryption that requires a secure password to unlock access to your drive's data with each boot or wake from sleep. Even if the drive is removed for your computer, the data can never be accessed without the security code. Unlike Apple's File Vault, our solution protects your entire hard drive and doesn't have the limitations of File Vault. With our solution you can still use Time Machine for your hourly backups, while File Vault requires you to log out of your user account before Time Machine can back up your data.
