There are always many things to consider about your company’s IT infrastructure.
Since there are still ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks that result in closing the office with little notice, companies need to be prepared in advance to support a secure remote network. Your data and general connectivity are two of the first areas to protect in the event of a transition to out of office activity.
With so many people working remotely, small to medium size companies’ data is at risk for being hacked and held for ransom.
Many employees are spending time at their favorite coffee shops or in parks using open and unsecured internet lines on their laptops and mobile devices. Due to the nature of unsecured work locations, many companies’ data is being breached, compromised, or worse, stolen and sold on the Dark Web.
Owners and C-level executives have told us that they felt they would never be targeted due to the small size of the company. Nothing can be further from the truth. It is much easier to go after an SMB than a large conglomerate for the following reasons:
- It is easier to penetrate a small business that doesn’t have vast infrastructure to mine through.
- Small businesses are a goldmine for sensitive data, like credit card information, personal records, Social Security numbers, bank account credentials, birthdays, etc.
- Smaller businesses may lack the legal, financial or technological support to fend off cyber attackers.
- Often, SMBs do not dedicate proper time or resources to training their teams or implementing strong cybersecurity policy.
It is the responsibility of the company and its owners to make sure that that all servers, computers and data are protected regardless of where their employees are located.
Engaging with a Managed Services Provider is especially important while your employees are working remotely or in a hybrid manner.
Managed IT Agreements include:
- The ability to protect your network at all times.
- Secure remote access into desktops in the office.
- Email and endpoint protection on all devices.
- Competent and patient help desk support.
- Data backup and protection.
