We know that a proper security strategy must include networks, servers and devices—all devices—managed easily through the cloud. Sophos products allow you to secure every end point of your network, from laptops to virtual desktops and servers, to web and email traffic and mobile devices. What’s more, securing these devices is made possible through products that fit your precise needs. We can ensure your network’s security by providing the one thing no one else can: Single sourced simplicity.

Sophos began producing antivirus and encryption products nearly 30 years ago. Today Sophos products help secure the networks used by 100 million people in 150 countries and 100,000 businesses, including organizations such as Pixar, Under Armour, Xerox, Ford, Avis, and Toshiba. As IT networks grow in complexity, we wanted a solution for our clients that was focused on keeping IT security simple and reliable.

This remote monitoring and management tool provides our customers an “early warning system” on any issues that may arise on their systems: networks, servers, workstations or other devices with an IP Address. An alert is generated at the first sign of trouble, which affords us the ability to not only detect but often times remediate the issue remotely before it might lead to a more serious issue if left undetected. We can also automate many processes, such as alerting and then updating out of date applications. Clients that elect to use this solution experience fewer disruptions, quicker resolutions, and less downtime. Put Automate to work and watch the huge return as you experience a more stable IT environment with significantly reduced disruptions.

NSA has achieved the exclusive Enterprise Partner status with Datto. Over the last 3 years, the NSA team has partnered with Datto, recommending their offerings to many clients. NSA trusts and stands by the solutions Datto offers. Datto’s integrated suite of services include a hybrid on premise and cloud backup & disaster recovery offering, so that your systems are not reliant on a single backup location. This powerful solution is built upon an image-based design, meaning that the entire image of your systems are backed up, including: operating systems, applications, security, logins, passwords, data, routing paths, etc. This design results in a full recovery time of only minutes on a full restore. Datto also provides ransomware detection capabilities. Ransomware leaves a footprint when it is setting up pre-excryption file extensions. This unique capability empowers our clients with the ability to detect ransomware in progress, prior to encryption with restorations in many cases without any disruptions. This offering works for both windows and unix (Redhat Linux) environments and is a “must have” as a safety net from the exploding threats of ransomware.
