What is 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, email hacks from social media to banks to breaches within our government 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.

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.
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.
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.
Ransomware encrypts your files. The attacker then demands a ransom from you to restore access to your data upon payment. This type of attack has become one of the biggest threats in Cybersecurity.
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.
