The Lightspeed Advantage
Comprehensive, Cost Effective, Control
With any Lightspeed Systems solution, you get:
Comprehensive solutions. Lightspeed is committed to providing the most comprehensive security product on the market. You no longer have to try to piece together a security strategy from many disparate products, with all the complexity that entails.
Cost Effective Solutions. Lightspeed understands IT budgets are under pressure like never before. Reducing renewal costs and administration time is critical and Total Traffic Control does both while allowing IT to provide better network performance and reduced downtime.
Comprehensive reporting. To manage network usage, you need to understand user behaviour. Our solutions give you access to comprehensive information about who, when, where, and how your network is being utilized, so you can adjust Acceptable Use Policies, change allowed usages, review problems, troubleshoot issues and plan for ongoing needs. You can see high-level overviews, and then drill down for detailed information.
Salability and performance. Lightspeed solutions are able to accommodate even the heaviest traffic loads without hindering network performance.
Customisability for your needs. Our solutions implement best-practice policies for Internet filtering, spam blocking, email usage, and more. But because every network is unique, our solutions allow you to adjust policies and databases on a granular level that ensures over-blocking and rigid restrictions don’t hinder your users’ ability to do their jobs effectively.
Superior customer service. From our extensive online documentation, training and Lightspeed Wiki to our friendly and knowledgeable 24/7 customer service staff, you’ll always have access to the help and support you need.
Easy administration. You need solutions that save time, not create management headaches. Our solutions are designed to be easy-to-install and easy-to-use, so you can secure and manage your network without over-burdening your staff.
Comprehensive solution or customisable components. To address your specific network management and security needs, Lightspeed offers a single, comprehensive solution through Total Traffic Control or its component solutions. Our solutions work together seamlessly through integrated, complementary features, providing easier administration and more efficient IT operations.
Education
Protect your students, protect your network, control your ICT resources
Education networks are some of the most difficult networks to administrate. Students are always trying to bypass controls, staff want more control, head teachers and chancellors need to know they are meeting duty of care requirements. And everyone complains the network is not fast enough. Total Traffic Control allows schools, colleges, universities and Local Authorities to balance all of the competing uses and requirements while ensuring your network is secure from attack.
Total Traffic control stops peer-to-peer traffic slowing down the network and anonymous proxies being used to bypass content filtering. Classroom control gives teacher the ability to temporarily block the internet or allow only specific web sites. Google and YouTube can be used safely, even by young students and educational web sites or applications can be given high priority on the network. Blocking games and even U3 memory sticks is simple and PCs are protected from viruses, spyware, hacking tools and other unwanted programs.
Laptop users are protected and Acceptable Use policies are enforced even when students are away from the network. Powerful technology ensures school laptops cannot be used for inappropriate web surfing even when students or staff take the computers home or connect through public hotspots.
Non-Profit
Increase security and service, reduce costs
Charities, Housing Associations, Public Trusts and other non-profit organisations are under pressure. Budgets are being cut and IT is in the front line of the drive for efficiencies. This does not mean you must reduce network security or customer service.
Total Traffic Control is allowing many non-profit organisations to reduce maintenance and administration costs while actually increasing existing network security and giving users better performance and greater control. By moving away from a hodgepodge of separate products onto a single comprehensive solution, you can reduce total cost of ownership while giving users some nice "extras" that you never seemed to find the time or money to implement.
Allow users more freedom to control what web sites they visit and what email they receive while still enforcing acceptable use policies and monitoring for misuse. Set priorities on network traffic so critical work is not affected by other usage. Ensure laptop users are protected from threats and inappropriate web content even when they are away from the network.
Corporate
Protect your network, protect your information, protect your reputation
Competition is fiercer than ever and IT departments are coming under pressure to perform better and provide better service. Network security is moving from external threats to protecting valuable information and even the reputation of the firm. While this all can be accomplished with a complex web of products performing separate small tasks, we offer a better solution.
Total Traffic Control provides comprehensive security, control and monitoring of networks, PCs and users. Secure gateways from attacks with a stateful inspection firewall and from unwanted email with customisable Anti-Spam. Protect PCs from known and unknown threats and users from phishing and unwanted downloads. Control bandwidth and web browsing as well as desktop applications and removable media. Monitor users for "suspicious" language, unusual file transfers and inappropriate web use.
In addition to all this we also provide an email journal for legal compliance, the ability to enforce acceptable use policies when laptops are away from the network and even PC power management to save on electric costs and reduce your company's carbon footprint.
