Strengthening your network control with a UTM appliance and a WEP cracking device

Maintaining several computers sharing delicate files is a tough challenge. We hike it up a notch when we link these computers through WIFI. Although WIFI connections are convenient, because it allows your computers to communicate without the messy cables, it’s also highly risky. Anyone who can reach the signal of your WIFI could easily penetrate the system, hack the documents, and steal the bandwidth from your internet connection. This is the reason why any network, no matter how big or small, should always have a UTM Appliance and a WEP Cracking device installed.  

WEP Cracking System

A WEP Cracking System in your network allows you to scan all the computers that are trying to communicate with your network. These could be harmful infiltrators who are trying to access your WIFI, or passive cell phones who are infected with viruses, and who are also involuntarily penetrating your system. Basically, you’re protecting yourself from two things when you use a WEP Cracking System: people who are trying to use the bandwidth that you’re paying for, and harmful elements which can make your entire network crash.

A penetration scanner with WEP Cracking features can also protect delicate documents in your hard disks. Imagine, when you’re running a company, there’s always a risk that your competitor may be using unlawful means to get “secret information”. You can also prevent identity theft when you install penetration scanners with WEP Cracking features, because you can block phishers who may be trying to access personal information from any of your computers.

UTM Appliance

Some people think that they only need to fence in their networks to get ample protection. This can’t be farther from the truth, because most times, the harm actually comes from within the network. When you don’t have any control over the bandwidth usage of each computer in your network, then you’re in trouble. One person can always manipulate the internet connection for his/her own use. Also, without proper internet filtering, the computers that belong to your network can easily navigate away from safe websites and dive straight into websites that have harmful content.

To prevent these from happening, you need to make sure that you have a UTM Appliance installed in your network. A UTM Appliance basically tracks all outgoing communications coming from any of your computers once it goes online. From this list, you can ban URL addresses, disconnect loading pages, and many more. This is specifically useful when you’re trying to restrict personal usage of office internet facilities.

If you want to make sure that your employees are only using their PCs for work purposes, you can block music and movie downloading websites with the use of a UTM Appliance. Most schools and homes who have kids who use the internet also makes use of a UTM Appliance to make sure that all harmful websites are blocked from their network’s browsers. Schools and parents can also block applications like chat rooms from loading in their computers if they think that these things might put the children’s lives in grave danger.
