Coates IT & Network Solutions

With the surge in Internet hackers and network attacks, today’s organizations are looking to tighten the security of their distributed computing work environments. As firewalls themselves are only as effective as their last update, it is imperative that IT resources be dedicated to the ongoing and vigilant maintenance of this key component of the IT infrastructure. With organizations trying to focus more and more on core competencies, they must consider alternative approaches to managing their computing environments once they are deployed.
