The Growing Threat Landscape for Mid-South Businesses
Small and medium-sized businesses are prime targets for cybercriminals because they often lack enterprise-level security resources. Mid-South businesses face numerous threats daily:
Ransomware Attacks: Malicious software that encrypts your data and demands payment for its release. Without proper protection and backups, businesses can lose weeks of productivity or even face closure.
Phishing and Email-Based Threats: Deceptive emails that trick employees into revealing passwords, downloading malware or transferring funds to fraudulent accounts. These attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and harder to detect.
Insider Threats: Whether malicious or accidental, employees can pose security risks through weak passwords, sharing credentials, falling for social engineering, or improperly handling sensitive data.
Unpatched Vulnerabilities: Software vulnerabilities that haven't been patched provide easy entry points for attackers. Regular updates and patch management are essential security measures.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs): Coordinated attacks that quietly infiltrate networks to steal data over extended periods. These require continuous monitoring to detect and prevent.
Our Comprehensive Network Security Solutions
Goodwin PC Services provides multi-layered security protection to defend your Memphis business from every angle:
Firewall Management
We deploy and manage advanced firewalls that go beyond traditional port blocking. Our firewalls include deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, application control, and real-time threat intelligence to block sophisticated attacks before they reach your network.
Advanced Endpoint Protection
Every device connected to your network—desktops, laptops, servers, and mobile devices—receives enterprise-grade antivirus and anti-malware protection. We use next-generation endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools that can identify and stop threats that traditional antivirus misses.
Email Security and Spam Filtering
Since email is the primary attack vector, we implement advanced email filtering that blocks phishing attempts, malicious attachments, and spam before they reach your employees' inboxes. Our multi-layered approach includes URL filtering, attachment sandboxing, and user authentication.
Dark Web Monitoring
We continuously scan the dark web for compromised credentials from your domain. If employee email addresses or passwords appear in data breaches, we alert you immediately so you can take action before attackers exploit them.
Vulnerability Scanning and Penetration Testing
Regular automated scans identify security weaknesses in your network, applications, and systems. We also conduct periodic penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks and uncover vulnerabilities before hackers do.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
Centralized logging and analysis of security events across your entire infrastructure. Our SIEM solution correlates data from multiple sources to detect complex, coordinated attacks that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
We implement and manage MFA for all critical systems and applications, requiring multiple forms of verification before granting access. This prevents unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised.
Network Segmentation
We design network architectures that segment critical systems and sensitive data, limiting the potential damage if one area is compromised. This contains threats and prevents lateral movement across your network.
Security Policy Development and Enforcement
We help create and enforce comprehensive security policies covering acceptable use, password requirements, data handling, incident response, and more. Clear policies combined with technical enforcement keep your organization secure.
Compliance and Regulatory Support
Many Memphis businesses must comply with industry-specific regulations. We provide security solutions that meet compliance requirements:
HIPAA Compliance for Healthcare
Healthcare providers must protect patient health information under HIPAA regulations. We implement required technical safeguards including encryption, access controls, audit logs, and risk assessments to maintain compliance and avoid costly penalties.
PCI DSS for Payment Processing
Any business that accepts credit cards must comply with PCI DSS standards. We help implement required security controls including network segmentation, encryption, access controls, and regular security testing.
State Data Breach Laws
Tennessee and Mississippi have specific data breach notification requirements. Our security measures help prevent breaches, and our incident response planning ensures you can meet notification obligations if one occurs.
Industry-Specific Regulations
From legal professional ethics rules to financial services regulations, we understand the compliance requirements affecting Mid-South businesses and design security solutions that meet your specific needs.
Protect your business with network security solutions designed for Memphis, TN, and DeSoto County, MS businesses (and beyond). Goodwin PC ensures your sensitive data and systems are protected from threats so your operations can run smoothly and securely.
Security should be a number one priority for businesses in Memphis. With ransomware, hacks, attacks, vulnerabilities and data theft affecting companies all around the world on a daily basis, it’s just a matter of time before your business is hit. Goodwin PC Services' goal is to provide you with the best network security protection possible, while also keeping your unique needs and budget in mind.
Hacks & Attacks
These days, hackers, attackers, and even automated web bots are all trying to gain access to your network and ultimately access your private customer and business information. When successful, the attackers can lock down your data or worse they can release your customer information to the world.
With the sheer number of security threats faced by companies, it is important to evaluate the vulnerabilities that may affect your business. Lost revenues due to downtime or large fines due to data breaches may not be an option and could affect the overall health of the organization.
Internal Threats
Not only is it necessary to protect a network from outside threats but internal threats can also be a huge vulnerability. Part of a thorough network security plan is ensuring that employees are using best practices and are educated on their role in keeping the network safe.
Compliance
If you store customer data, private information, or take credit cards, network security is no longer an option, but instead is a necessity. Not to mention if you must adhere to HIPAA, SOC, or any other regulations, you need a team that understands these requirements and a team that can provide the pieces necessary to keep you compliant.

FAQs
How do I know if my network is secure?
Most businesses don't know the extent of their vulnerabilities until they conduct a professional security assessment. Warning signs include: no formal security policies, infrequent software updates, no multi-factor authentication, employee access to unnecessary systems, lack of data encryption, no security awareness training, or no recent security audit. If any of these apply, your network likely has vulnerabilities. We offer free security assessments to evaluate your current posture and identify risks.
What is the cost of a data breach?
For small businesses, the average data breach costs $149,000 in direct expenses plus indirect costs like lost customers, damaged reputation, and business disruption. Many small businesses that suffer major breaches close within six months. The cost of prevention is a fraction of the potential breach cost—making security not an expense, but an investment in business continuity.
Do we need network security if we're a small business?
Absolutely. Cybercriminals specifically target small businesses because they often have weaker security than large enterprises but still possess valuable data. In fact, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, yet only 14% are prepared to defend themselves. Your size makes you a target, not a protection.
What is the difference between network security and cybersecurity?
Network security specifically protects your network infrastructure—firewalls, routers, switches, and the connections between systems. Cybersecurity is the broader concept encompassing all measures to protect data, systems, and users from cyber threats, including network security, endpoint protection, data security, application security, and user training. At Goodwin PC Services, we provide comprehensive cybersecurity that includes robust network security as a critical foundation.
How often should we update our security?
Security is an ongoing process, not a one-time project. Critical security patches should be applied within days of release. Comprehensive security reviews should occur quarterly. Security awareness training should be monthly. Penetration testing should be annual. Technology refreshes should occur every 3-5 years. With our managed security services, we handle all these updates automatically, keeping your protection current without requiring your attention.
Can network security slow down our systems?
When properly implemented, modern security solutions have minimal impact on performance. We design security architectures that protect without impeding business operations. In many cases, our network optimization actually improves performance by blocking unnecessary traffic and streamlining network flows.
What happens during a security incident?
Our incident response process activates immediately: (1) Detection and analysis to understand the threat scope, (2) Containment to prevent spread, (3) Eradication to remove the threat, (4) Recovery to restore normal operations, (5) Post-incident review to prevent recurrence. You'll have clear communication throughout, knowing exactly what's happening and what actions we're taking.
