Managed IT Service

With essential business operations often taking place on multiple devices (including mobile devices, laptops, and desktops), maintaining a secure, accessible, and healthy IT network is more important and more complicated than ever before. Because of this, firms that do not have the resources to fully staff an internal IT department are looking to managed IT services, as ad-hoc external IT support is often patchy and unreliable. With that said, picking a managed service provider (MSP) that fits your business’s needs is extremely important for a successful and effective partnership. Read on as we discuss what to look for in an IT company, including types of managed IT service packages, pricing, and more. Read more

Small and medium businesses (SMBs) often possess limited resources. They need to deploy these resources in such a way as to maximize profitability. Questioning the ability of outside service to provide that profitability is a wise way to determine which services can actually help businesses advance their bottom line. Managed services for small and medium businesses offer many desirable services, from implementing the latest technology solutions to offering 24/7 monitoring of a company’s IT infrastructure. The good news is that these services are not just a luxury. They actually help contribute to the bottom line of SMBs.

According to Forbes, when it comes to enterprise startups, having a technical co-founder can help your business out-perform the competition by 230%. However, if your business is consumer-oriented instead of enterprise-oriented, it was found that this statistic is quite the opposite. In fact, startup businesses that are meant to serve consumers that have at least one technical co-founder actually underperform by 31%. If your business is in the B2C (business to consumer) category and you lack technical co-founders, your technical knowledge is probably limited. With the world around us becoming more and more digital by the day, it is hard to avoid technology completely – especially if you are aiming to build a tech company from the ground up.

Even if your organization uses a Managed IT Service Provider with many security solutions guarding you against hackers, you still may fall victim to a cyberattack. If you, your employees or colleagues practice unsafe habits online, you could be leaving the door wide open for bad guys to steal sensitive information, infect your network and hinder your daily operations. Employees are one of the biggest threats to your data security, even with other effective solutions in place.

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). NCSAM was created in collaboration with the US Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance to ensure you have the resources needed to stay safer, more secure online. We want to take the opportunity this month to educate you on what you can do to help protect your organization’s sensitive data.

It’s everybody’s responsibility to understand what cybersecurity threats they are faced with and how to prevent cyberattacks in the workplace. The most effective way is to combine the efforts of your Managed IT Services with end-user education. We will provide helpful tips that you can use to ensure you are doing your part to stay safe online.

Own IT

Take ownership of your social media cybersecurity. Every time you log in to a social network – whether on a computer or mobile device – make sure you are practicing safe habits. Especially if you use that same computer or device to access company information. Safe habits include being careful about what you post on social media, keeping your mobile apps up-to-date and ensuring your privacy settings are turned on.

Secure IT

We will take a look at ways to help keep your identity and sensitive information safe on the internet. This includes password best practices and how to shop online safely. We’ll also discuss what phishing is and ways you can spot a phishing email or message.

Protect IT

Keeping your personal information safe is important, but you must also do your best to protect your organization’s information. Remote workers are becoming more and more common, which increases the risk of exposing company data. We will discuss some easy tips to safely connect to public Wi-Fi and help reduce your risk of attacks.

Employee cybersecurity training coupled with robust Managed IT Service security solutions is the best way to effectively protect your organization against attacks.
