September 2024 Newsletter
September 2024
Hello,
Welcome to our September newsletter update.
Lock Down your Firewall
As part of a response to an increased number of attacks from around the globe, firewall manufacturer SonicWall is proposing a security update which would limit VPN access to UK initially.
We can add country exceptions to this, for example if someone needs remote access from Spain while they are on holiday or while on a work trip in the Far East.
This new security policy is going to be coming very soon, so please let us know if you have anyone dialling in via a VPN from abroad.

It’s called a leased line (sometimes called an Ethernet leased line), and it might be just what your business needs.
Find out more about them and why they could be worth considering for your business in our blog post here >

IoT offers endless possibilities for virtually every industry by way of using sensors to track, monitor and report on a whole host of metrics.
