Overview
Spyware detection, antivirus software and firewalls are familiar solutions that protect a computer network from unwanted technical intrusion. As technology progresses, such software will become even more effective at protecting data integrity by blocking access to hackers, disgruntled employees and anyone else with the potential to inflict damage.

Outside of the virtual world, in a computer room’s physical environment, conditions like excessive heat, fire, smoke, water damage, physical intrusion, high humidity levels and more can snarl a network’s effectiveness for days or weeks at a time. Compromising conditions within the walls of a small computer room ripple across an organization’s operations on a global level. Luckily, the application of an advanced remote monitoring system provides IT professionals with the ability to track environmental conditions and respond to small changes before they have the opportunity to alter network activity.
