THE KEY TO A STRONGER, SAFER
AND MORE EFFICIENT BUSINESS
There are a lot of vicious sharks out there
swimming around in the IT ocean. These
predators (hackers) are constantly on the prowl
for an opening or vulnerability in your network
so they can attack and cause serious damage.
Attacks on small and medium-sized businesses
(SMBs) has actually risen from 18% in 2011 to
43% in 2015, and the trend just keeps going
with Forbes predicting that the cost of cyber
attacks will rise to $2.9 trillion in 2019.

these dangers? For any business, the first step
should be to establish a network monitoring
system. With real-time network monitoring

PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS
Network monitoring software can do a variety of things. First and

generate notifications to update you immediately via email should an
issue arise. This feature greatly reduces your risk of downtime.
Affinity IT Group provides a monitoring solutions that gives 24x7

Our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) software
service provides real-time analysis of all security alerts and
consequently builds a picture of your business technology’s
threat landscape. What this does is clearly and immediately put a
spotlight on events whenever something fishy occurs. For example,
if one of your employees logs into your network at 3:00 PM from
your hometown, then logs in again 10 minutes later from a city
that’s 5 states away from your hometown, that’s a bit suspicious.
With our detection tools, you’ll be alerted of that behavior right
away so you can take action before anything dangerous develops.
We’ll also secure your network with firewalls that provide a
protective shield around your network.These devices include
intrusion detection and prevention tools that quickly detect and
stop attempts to harm your network and data by hackers. With
60% of companies failing within six months of a cyber attack
and phishing scams costing almost $4 million annually, it’s very
