Network design & setup
Security - Macs are of course famous for being far, far less likely to contract a virus than other computers. That doesn’t mean we should be complacent, however - it is always wise to be prepared.
If you have a network at home or at your office, it is equally important to ensure that nobody can access your shared data unless you want them to.
At MacWorkshop, we are committed to making your individual Mac or network safe - and keeping it that way. We can advise on and implement a range of technologies, including:
- Robust, transparent wireless network security - using various technologies you probably already have on your network;
- Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) - connect to your network from elsewhere securely, as if you were physically there;
- Secure file-sharing - whether you need to send a project to the printers, or share file-space with other people for collaboration;
- Anti-virus protection - rather than sell you second-rate commercial anti-virus software and leave you to it, we use free, open-source tools that are inherently more secure and customise them to your exact requirements. You’re paying for our expertise, not for software.
Whatever your situation, we can advise on and implement the best combination of available technologies. Please contact us in the first instance to discuss your needs.
All our networking, security and anti-virus services are charged at our general labour charge of £45 per hour.
