Frequently Asked Questions

Do NexusTek’s infrastructure security solutions provide security for remote workers?

Yes, absolutely. NexusTek’s portfolio of infrastructure security solutions are perfectly suited to today’s workplace, which is no longer neatly contained within an onsite setting using solely business-owned devices. Today’s workplace is diffuse and cloud-based, with employees distributed across company worksites, employees’ home offices, and everywhere in between. This is why we have selected a collection of network security solutions that protect your network and devices wherever they may reside. Because cloud-based infrastructure such as email, applications, and storage, is foundational to a productive remote employee program, we offer solutions that are specially tailored to the unique security risks that arise when employees routinely transmit and access sensitive business data over the internet.

What is a vulnerability, and why is it important to scan for vulnerabilities?

Vulnerability is a catch-all term that refers to aspects of a specific software’s programming that might allow threat actors to penetrate the software and thereby, your network. Vulnerabilities that are caught by manufacturers after release of their software can create risk to businesses because if cybercriminals become aware of the vulnerability, they may launch attacks that specifically target those points of weakness. To give you a sense of the scale of the problem, NIST’s National Vulnerability Database documents over 150,000 known vulnerabilities. This is why software manufacturers release patches and updates periodically—to patch those holes before hackers exploit them to wreak havoc on your business. But how many times have you heard employees complain about software updates and how burdensome they are? It’s often the case that employees who are left to manage their own updates delay their installation or even ignore the security notification altogether. What this adds up to for a business over time is a network riddled with unidentified vulnerabilities. Of great concern is that cybercriminals can conduct their own vulnerability scans of networks once they hack or phish their way into a user’s account, and then the damage they can do is well known—ransomware attacks, theft of intellectual property, identity theft, and on and on. This is what makes vulnerability scanning such an important part of a thorough network security program.
