Sentinel: Keeping your information safe
July 22, 2008

Understanding the importance of information, Prime Communications recommends Sentinel for businesses that are highly dependent on the security of their Internet access.

Sentinel is a multi-level security solution that addresses computer-related crime and security issues. It is a six-in-one security service that combines the following safety measures: an anti-virus program, an anti-spam program, content filtering, intrusion prevention, virtual private networks (VPN) and firewalls, and demilitarized zones (DMZ).

With such valuable and critical information in their computers - cost estimates, confidential financial documents, marketing plans, proprietary information, and more - threats to data security is something businesses cannot afford. In fact, some have paid dearly for neglecting to upgrade their computer security systems.

Sentinel comes with monthly reports, analyses, and quarterly consultations from Prime Communications which update clients on attempted system break-ins and other relevant concerns. Now information (IT) personnel and managers can spend more time concentrating on the core business of their company rather than spend time monitoring the security of their systems.

"Computer threats such as virus and self-replicating programs, cross-site scripting, and staged attacks are just some of the online risks that may be countered by anyone who goes online or has computer files. Aside from this, stand-alone anti-virus software and firewalls are not enough to protect your network and prevent hackers from sneaking into or manipulating electronic files." explains Jojie Yap, Prime Communications President.

Sentinel is a comprehensive suite of solutions in four packages, streamlined to varying company needs: Sentinel Lite, Sentinel Pro, Sentinel Enterprise, and Sentinel Customised.

Sentinel Lite is best for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and includes a firewall, an anti-virus program, an anti-spam program, and website restriction. Sentinel Pro offers the same features of the Lite version, but inclusive of intrusion prevention and DMZs. Sentinel Enterprise comes with all seven safety measures designed to shield companies with special requirements.

Prime Communications services are backed by business-grade SLAs that clearly define company-client expectations.
