When you speak to your IT partner, security is generally one of the first topics that will come up. And with good reason.
If your business isn’t properly protected against outside threats, you stand to lose everything. Downtime doesn’t just result in a momentary loss of productivity; it often leads to a snowball effect that can cause a loss of profits and wages, tarnish your reputation, and in some cases, end your operations permanently.
You care about your business, so you’re already utilizing some type of firewall, basic antivirus software, and relying on a few other precautions to keep your data protected. But that often isn’t enough. That’s not to say that firewalls and antivirus tools aren’t important, but they’re just a part of what should be a much larger strategic and proactive security setup.
One of the most pervasive and dangerous trends in cyber crime over the past several years has been ransomware. It’s a tactic used to trick victims into sabotaging their data, resulting in your essential documents and resources being held ransom until you pay a fee – and even then, it’s not guaranteed that your data will be released back to you.
This poses a very serious – and very obvious – problem. Without access to your data and files, your operations are at a standstill. And if your data is suddenly gone forever, your business just might be, too. If your clients learn that their data has been compromised, the damage to your business’ reputation may be irreparable.
What’s especially dangerous is how often cybercriminals update ransomware strains to keep them undetectable to anti-malware software. Which is why you need an IT partner who stays one step ahead, and is always planning proactively for your protection.
It’s crucial to remember that security issues are constantly escalating. Cybercriminals are smart, and their methods grow more complex each and every day. That’s why {company} believes in an ongoing proactive approach, targeting new threats as they emerge while still covering any known vulnerabilities.
Education is Key
A security partner who just sets you up with tools and then disappears isn’t really doing their job. It’s important that you truly understand the threats you’re facing, including how ransomware presents itself, what type of vulnerabilities certain applications pose, and the latest tactics being used to target businesses.
