Network Quality Assurance Solutions

Despite increased spending on more and more sophisticated Information Technology solutions, managing a network keeps getting to be more difficult. Whether it is due to the increasing complexity of networks, lack of personnel, no tangible metrics or poor translation of technical processes to management planning & decision data, spending has risen while network quality assurance has declined.

What processes do you have in place to consistently and objectively verify your internal controls are effective? How are policies monitored, documented and enforced? How frequently do you review key IT system logs scattered throughout your network? When was the last time you reviewed them? How do you determine if technology is being used properly or improperly in your environment? Do you draft executive reports that highlights the findings of your studies and provides justification for changes and budget requests? How much time does it all take, and is it getting done?

Network Quality impacts every facet of your network and business operations.

Security, compliance, performance, productivity, reliability, communications, response time and the bottom line are all impacted by network quality.
Without a consistent method of measurement, checks and balances quality cannot be assured.

To learn about easy, comprehensive ways to assure the quality of your network, including your endpoints, you'll want to attend this informative educational opportunity and learn about Network Quality Assurance and Clientless Endpoint Security Management (CESM) technology. CESM solutions enable companies to maximize their security investment and ROI to ensure ongoing optimal operations of their I/T infrastructure, all without installing client software on their endpoints.

As a special thank you for attending this presentation, JCS & Associates, Inc. will be giving away a 1 year license to one company for up to 5,000 endpoints of Congruity Inspector, the premier Network Quality Assurance solution.

Understanding Managed File Transfer - Insights & Best Practices

As IT departments continually adopt new technologies to improve the performance of their systems, productivity of their end users and relationships with trading partners, they are faced with numerous challenges. One such challenge companies face today is securing and automating large file transfers. Traditional file transfer systems and mediums no longer meet the needs of most organizations or their trading partners, especially when data exposure is a concern. Many organizations have developed in-house solutions that are difficult to manage, lack the ability to track and audit file transfers, and expose the organization to security breaches. A Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution should be secure, easy to manage, and have the flexibility to integrate with existing technologies.

In this presentation, you will:

  • Gain a better understanding of the business challenges and drivers of file transfers.
  • Identify the security concerns around traditional file transfer systems and mediums.
  • Learn best practices to develop security architectures for file transfers.
  • Understand how a MFT solution can meet the needs of your stakeholders.

Cover Your Assets with Layered Security

Three issues underscore the need to secure digital identities and information: risk mitigation, business enablement and compliance pressures.

  • When data is lost or stolen, organizations incur both financial and brand damages.
  • Organizations require greater information flow to customers, partners and employees faster and in real time to stay competitively viable.
  • Regulatory agencies recognize the need to protect identities and information and have mandated certain requirements dictating the handling of sensitive information.

Moreover, because of hackers, keystroke logging, phishing and other attacks which grant access to applications, perimeter security (anti-virus, firewall, etc.) is no longer enough to protect identities and information. Rather, organizations need security that protects data from beginning to end, in motion and at rest. Also, organizations should apply the right level of security based on the risk of the transaction and associated costs. In summary, organizations need solutions -- often authentication, transaction monitoring and information protection -- that can scale from the most basic risk levels to the most mission critical.
