Security Information

Ensure that you have secured all your devices, hardware or network at all times.

We have complied some information for you but this is by no means extensive. There are many products on the market and we suggest that you do your research when purchasing products to make sure it meets your needs.


WiFi Security


Firewall

A firewall is a device or software which prevents hosts on the Internet from unsolicited contact to your computer. Every ADSL and NBN router has an in-build firewall. We also offer a 'Secure 3G' and 'Secure Dial-up' product which performs the Firewall function in our network so you need not install any software. We recommend all utilise a router or our network based Firewall rather than Firewall software.


Anti-Virus

Anti-Virus applications are available to prevent installation of unauthorised software on your computer which may damage your computer or reveal your private information to 3rd parties. We scan all inbound email for viruses before delivering them to your mailbox. Much of the anti-virus software available is poorly written and often causes problems with computers (such as blocking access to the Internet) so care must be taken when using these applications. We recommend the F-Secure anti-virus suite of software.
