Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is the body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access.
Why Cybersecurity matters.
There’s been a lot of talk about Cybersecurity lately, from email hacks at the Pentagon to breaches at insurance carrier databases. But big corporations and the government aren’t only at risk. Small and mid-sized businesses also must make data and network protection a top priority. If you still haven’t developed a plan to safeguard your company’s data contact us to get one.
Network Security. Pivoting in.
While offering WIFI for your guests or users personal devices is a nice thing to do, it could open the door for bad actors. These shared networks are hotspots for hacking. If you accept, transmit or store any customer data, over this same network, you could be held liable for any data incident.
RDP, Remote Desktop Protocol is a great service that allows people to work remotely and efficiently but are open to attackers who can just brute force their way in. To protect this, we setup a VPN with certificates to allow easy, safe and secure passwordless network logins.
Our Managed Networks ensure you can have a safe business systems network and a network that is safe for your users and guests to connect to.
Social Engineering. Hack the person.
Phishing scams aim to trick staff into handing over data -- normally usernames and passwords -- by posing as legitimate email. It's a technique hackers use because it continues to be such an effective method.
Plugging in a USB sticks you found lying around on the street outside your office could lead to a security breach. A BlackHat Group dropped nearly 300 USB sticks, 98% were picked up and reported back, of those picked up, 45% had files opened on the drive.
Ransomware encrypts your files. The attacker then demands a ransom from you to restore access to your data upon payment. If you pay it, you could find yourself in hotwater with the US Government. This type of attack has become one of the biggest threats in Cybersecurity.
Our Cybersecurity training and audits will ensure that your users are practicing good Cybersecurity habits and Managed Data ensures in the event of a ransomware attack, we can quickly restore data.
Proactive Patches and Updates.Exploiting systems.
When software updates become available, vendors usually put them on their websites for users to download. Install updates as soon as possible to protect your computer, phone, or other digital device against attackers who would take advantage of system vulnerabilities. Attackers may target vulnerabilities for months or even years after updates are available.
Automated patch management and systems reporting is a must to stay on top of the ever-shifting landscape of Cybersecurity. This service is included in our Proactive Support. This applies to Desktops, Laptops, Servers and even your network equipment. When applicable, we will do an evaluation on your current equipment and see if major upgrades are needed and when we need to implement them.
