Business continuity is becoming a focal point of our IT strategy, and we expect to see the cloud continue to make it easy to stay secure and productive anywhere.
A data breach could cripple a small business. Data breaches affect a business’s reputation, which leads to fewer customers and less revenue—not to mention the potential fines and legal fees. Since small businesses are more likely to have the least amount of resources protecting them, they are often targeted.
The good news? Most security threats are preventable!
Technology helps small businesses thrive but also exposes you to significant security risks. As more data moves to the cloud and the number of devices accessing your systems grows, hackers will continue to be a threat. It’s vital for you to know the biggest cybersecurity issues your small business will face.
Cyber attacks are on the rise, and working from home offices comes with unique threats and vulnerabilities; however, that doesn’t mean you can’t take steps to thwart the threats.

You know that your organization needs a firewall. As the frontline of defense in protecting your network, a robust firewall can stop threats from entering or spreading across your network. Should you purchase one? Or does a managed firewall fit your business needs? To help you make a decision, here’s what you need to know about managed firewall pricing.
The recent shift to remote work stresses how much your team relies on reliable and secure internet. You need consistently performing internet connectivity to stay productive. Whether you’re home or in the office, choosing the right way to connect to the internet helps you get the most of your bandwidth. As with every aspect of your business, there are costs and benefits with choosing either wired or wireless internet connections.
We rely on the internet more than ever. Most of us are always ‘connected’. Constant connectivity can open the door for bad guys. They know you and your colleagues store and share data on your connected devices. Knowing the risks can help you keep your data safe and reduce the impact of an attack. Here’s info that can help you avoid costly mistakes when it comes to cybersecurity.
It doesn’t. There are critical tools every organization needs in place to protect against cyber threats. Firewalls, anti-virus software, managed DNS, and encryption are a few you may already be using. But no protection is 100% effective at stopping hackers, because the bad guys are evolving their tools as often as the good guys are developing protections.
If your firewall and antivirus are the locked doors of your IT, then a Security Operations Center is the alarm system and the police who respond to a break-in. It is a mix of tools, processes, and people looking for threats in order to quickly stop them and prevent damage. Essentially, it’s real-time threat detection and response.
