Protecting your business’ data and its reputation

Technology plays a huge role in every part of our lives today, from the hospital and the bank to our phone calls, meetings, and messages—the data we create and access needs to remain accessible to only to authorized parties. With a new data breach in the news every day, comprehensive network security solutions are required to protect not only a business’ data, but its reputation. Dean Dorton has chosen partners like Cisco, Okta, Duo Security, and Microsoft to keep security at the forefront of everything we do for our clients.

Network Security

Let’s implement a secure network tailored to your business.

Comprehensive enterprise security requires a layered approach, with many Network and Endpoint Security products working together so that security administrators have a full view of the network. We tie network firewall solutions, like Cisco Firepower, together with best-in-class network visibility from products like Cisco Meraki and Stealthwatch to secure the network. We suggest Cisco Umbrella and Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) to protect each PC, Mac, or mobile device from advanced threats both while on the corporate network or working remotely.

We recommend Identity and Access Management solutions like Okta to provide a secure access portal to the growing number of cloud applications used by businesses. Applications like Office 365, G Suite, Cisco Webex, and Sage Intacct can be integrated into the Okta secure access platform for single password access to those, and more than 6000 other cloud applications. Multifactor authentication (MFA) is central to everything we do, and partners like Okta and Duo Security allow for the highest levels of MFA security—without the hassle of PIN codes and phone calls.

Our Network Security Solutions

Dean Dorton offers best-in-class network security solutions to your business.

Enterprise networks with security at top of mind

We design enterprise networks with security from the ground up. Solutions like Cisco Meraki allow for secure extension of the corporate network into the home of every teleworker—all without compromising security. We can help you build a secure, private network that utilizes the public internet while keeping your business data safe behind the firewall.

Securing the cloud

The cloud is not always secure—but our security solutions are built to secure your cloud. Cloud-first solutions like Okta and Duo Security keep end users safe and secure, while still allowing them to access business applications in the cloud. Cutting edge technology like Stealthwatch analyzes trends in your AWS or Azure environment to alert against possible cyber attacks.

Remote work solutions to keep your business moving

More employees are working at home than ever before. Solutions like Webex Teams are here to provide chat, voice, and video—in a safe and secure manner with state-of-the-art encryption. IT is being asked to provide a great user experience for teleworkers, and we are here to help!
