Security
Implementing a network is only part of the requirements for a holistic business solution. Ensuring the integrity of the network; securing sensitive corporate information; retaining corporate data; are some factors which are critical in attaining efficient and reliable office automation and communications.
EDS expertise in network security helps businesses define, design, develop and deploy reliable and secure systems by understanding and managing the inherent risk, while reducing cost and improving security ROI at the same time.

Network Security
IT security, today, is an essential rather than an option. Keeping virus attackers and hackers at bay, so as to minimise network disrupting, and to safe guard the company information, are only part of the reasons:
Confidential Data Access : Companies are able to control the amount of company information from circulating in the organisation by assigning different levels of accessibilities to individual personnel, to ensure that confidential information are limited to the assigned target group.
Data Access Limits : Especially in e-commerce and business-to-business transactions, security allows selected personnel to both access and approve transactions.
Network Integrity : IT Managers are able to protect internal networks by setting password-protected accessibility levels to restrict access to servers, the vital core of corporate network; and set restriction in assessing the World Wide Web and allowing the tracking of Internet access.
Wireless Security
One of the main concerns of Enterprises about employing wireless LAN is security adequacy. The potential risk of hacking into the wireless network; the ability of intruders sharing the bandwidth; and even, tapping company data can be achieved easier as compared to a conventional wired LAN.
With the latest development in Wireless security, it has provided enterprises with robust, scalable and manageable security gateway solutions for ensuring privacy of wireless networks and protecting mission-critical enterprise applications. Unlike the traditional Network Layer (Layer 3) encryption, which allows more information to be broadcasted freely and increase exposure to external attacks, new security infrastructure encrypts at Layer 2, this eliminates the opportunities for hackers to intercept important network data, view internal network addresses or interrupt availability through denial-of-service attacks. This provides user privacy, better access control of devices and user authentications, as well as provides data link layer with higher integrity to guard against denial-of-service attacks.
