have an impact on network speeds and device performance.<\/p>\n<p>Proper security protocols must be addressed to protect the information being accessed away from your physical site, including provisions for VPN security, antivirus software and endpoint protection.<\/p>\n<p>BCX offers active protection to detect a wide range of attacks from a variety of threats, including APTs, DDoS,
