Web hosting company AIT (www.ait.com) has developed a comprehensive suite of security products to include an enterprise level firewall, intrusion detection and protection, a server scan, and upgraded anti-spam and anti-virus software.

Alan W. Hinden, President & CEO of Computer Consultants Corporation's Web King division (www.WebKing.com) relies on a firewall solution from AIT for his Las Vegas-based technology consulting business.

"Our business and our clients depend on an always-on, fast and reliable web hosting environment, so we need a service that is pro-active, preventive and secure." said Hinden. "There are thousands of attempts and actual security breaches of Web servers on the Internet every day, with illegal phishing sites, SPAM mailers and DOS zombies being set up, running and going undetected until they start causing real serious problems and server slowdowns. This firewall is our first line of defense against them."

"A lot of companies treat security issues with an 'it won't happen to me' attitude; then something happens to them," said Clarence Briggs, AIT's Chief Executive Officer. "That's why we have put a premium on products and services that stop attacks before they can spread through a network."

AIT's security services are part of a managed network so individual users do not incur the costs of hardware and installation, systems integration, or infrastructure upgrades.
