The success of the E-news service has been tremendous and Servo has obtained much well founded response from our loyal customers who subscribe and from the vendors who contribute to the pages.

However, as technology moves on and the world of communication shifts forward, Servo is considering a change to keep pace.

Blogging is becoming a viable communication mechanism already extensively in use by individuals and internally within many organisations. Servo sees the intrusive nature of a blog as being the next level of customer service, driving subscribed content on specific topic areas within the Servo portfolio right into our customer’s desktop either through email or browser.

Using the technology known as RSS or Real Simple Syndication – subscribing to a blog is easy. Once you have installed one of many RSS clients, you can subscribe to the Servo blog and receive content when published by one of the Servo’s consultancy team on a wide range of interesting topics – desktop, messaging, security, storage and so on.

Stopping the rubbish at the perimeter - pipe dream or reality? 


 Network security has become a critical business issue for organisations of all sizes. Todays sophisticated web-borne attacks (malware), which can decimate an unprotected network in a matter of minutes, have a direct impact on businesses bottom lines, causing massive loss of valuable time and resources, reduced productivity and lost revenue. In addition, some types of web threats, such as Spyware, can expose or even lead to theft of confidential and sensitive business information.

Wireless Networking - love it or hate it? 

The simple truth of the matter is that wireless can be a blessing to an organization through enabling mobility, reducing cabling costs, etc, but it can also be a nuisance and – in the worst case – a major security liability.
The trick is to deploy a wireless solution that gives the advantages mentioned above, but is totally secure. The question is can it be done?



Too many security devices doing a little bit of what you want? Unified Threat Management may be the answer. 

 

When talking with many organisations especially those with limited resources to manage security, there appears to be a need to lower complexity by reducing the number of appliances, servers and devices used to protect that organisation’ assets.



Security Audits – more than penetration tests and asking someone to check the security logs!

The business world is increasingly reliant on technology to supply information and communications facilities to staff, partners, and customers.  Securing organisational information and the systems that are used to manage and transmit data have become a high profile function. Failure to secure information can have a severe impact on business credibility.
