How Vulnerable is your Accounting firm’s network?

IT Wireless and WIFI Survey | Design | Security and Solutions for Accounting Firms

 

  

 

Accounting firm managers should remember, it’s not just the data on your network, but the usage of your network in general which can leave your company at risk. A rogue user can surf to sites which are not what you’d want showing up on your ISP logs, to put it mildly.

 

 

 

 

If you are accounting firm manager, you will probably be perplexed with so many acronyms that exist in wireless industry.

 

• WEP – Wired Equivalent Privacy

• 802.11 and EAP – A wireless protocol (standard) and Extensible Authentication Protocol

• WWANs – Wireless Wide Area Networks

• WPANs – Wireless Personal Area Networks

• WPA and WPA2 – Wi-Fi Protected Access and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, the current standard

 

    Each of the methods of wireless security differs (and many acronyms not even mentioned in this article), some are bad and some are good. Our company DBA Binary Fusion can help your CPA/Accounting firm make sense of these acronyms, perform IT security audit, wireless site survey, come up with a guest wireless network and make sure that your accounting firm has IT policies in place for your end employee and guest users. 

 

 Some Accounting firms chose passwords for basic wireless security, however often it’s not enough and double factor authentication is required. Passphrases, instead of passwords are ideal. Two-factor authentications (something you know, like a password, as well as something you have, like a cellphone/SMS message) is becoming a popular way of accessing Wireless Networks instead of a password.

 

 

Does your CPA/Accounting firm has adequate Wireless network coverage?

 

Are your employees struggling with connecting using their IPADS, or IPhones to the company’s network? Do you want to create a secure environment for your visitors who are visiting your law firm, medical office or accounting firm?   Our company DBA Binary Fusion, can help your local Accounting firm IT Teams design wireless network, secure it, analyze it in the context of your existing applications that your auditors, employees, and tax professional use within your CPA firm and ensure that you are fully connected through IPAD or Surface Pro or other wireless devices such as printers and cameras within your local network in a secure manner.    

 

 If you have no IT team or limited IT team support even better, our company can be great supplementary resource for your one time project needs.  With so many devices on the network it can be hard to obtain consistent speeds; there are many factors that can be involved such as co-channel interference from other wireless sources, low signal attenuation strength, or simply over loaded wireless access point that can’t service more than specific amount of bandwidth.  Having spotty, network of floor leaking behaviour type of wireless network or dropping network connectivity type of WIFI network is never a good thing, especially during busy tax seasons.

 

 

 

Additionally, we have expertise in Wireless Site Survey, where we can come up with the exact placement for your WIFI devices inside single or multi floor-based environments, enclosed buildings.  Maximizing wireless connectivity for your employees and providing a guest network for CPA accounting firm’s customers can definitely be something considerable to implement.  View our Wireless Site Survey section for more info.

We can design your wireless infrastructure; make it manageable through the cloud or on-premises and pick most optimal location using wireless design software.   Using inter combination of our wireless consulting skill set and industry design tools for wireless networks we can craft up solidified layout within internal premises of your accounting firm, providing your users with adequate wireless connectivity, and allowing accounting firms to leverage in their company’s network not only data connectivity over wifi, but also Voice over wifi. 

 We can create a wireless network and provide the following WIFI services for CPA firms

• Allow your Tax Auditors and Tax collectors use IPads or signature readers to work over WIFI networks.

• Allow wireless guest network connectivity

• Has most optimum throughput speed for your Accounting firm’s application needs.

IT Network relocation Services for Accounting and CPA Firms

 

 

It’s often difficult to move to the new office, especially when the office has new layout. Moving IT infrastructure from one office to another can be quiet a challenging task. In fact often in many cases, it’s not needed to move absolutely every piece of infrastructure from your office to the newer one, simply because many components of the infrastructure may be easily migrated in the cloud, minimizing your efforts of having to maintain systems or hiring expensive IT consultants to troubleshoot difficult on site systems.

 

We can make sure Accounting and CPA firms have redundant connectivity

 

Our company realizes all that, however with new office roll, it’s important to ensure that internally users are connected properly to your core switches and to ensure that ISP connectivity is as redundant as possible, and to ensure that your office has adequate WIFI coverage, as well as to move the actual necessary infrastructure network devices from one location to another, and in addition to all that assist accounting firm with decision making in regards to what is necessary to move and what is not.

 

Often Accounting firms needs to understand exactly what is used and what is not used, what applications accounting firm users currently connect to, and how, and through which circuit. This is often a huge headache especially in situations where the accounting firm has complex data center rack equipment with not properly documented diagrams showing where is what, how everything is connected.

 

It’s not easy to do the move without know what connects where and how, and it’s not easy to even understand what can be moved and what cannot be moved without properly analysing multiple factors that exist in the existing office space vs new office space. Our company DBA Binary Fusion can assist companies in CT, NY and NJ or even companies who are moving from west coast to east coast with strategic planning.   For more info about IT Moving and Relocation Services in CT | NY and NJ visit this link.
