How 0IT.US can help secure your data

Learn what it takes to reduce security risk today

Back in the 2000s, many small to medium-sized companies didn’t worry a lot about their cybersecurity exposure. Things have changed. The most alarming change has been the exponential rise of ransomware. No doubt you’ve heard about businesses, schools, and even governmental agencies that have been hit.

Today, antivirus and a firewall, while still important, aren’t enough on their own to keep your proprietary data and your client’s confidential information secure.

So, what’s the next step?

The next generation of a cybersecurity strategy is a multilayered approach, protecting your systems and data at each level of your IT environment. Having the right IT provider who understands this has become more important than ever, and we are just that IT provider.

Small businesses need enterprise security today

While both can still be important security tools, the days of them being enough are unfortunately long gone.

Here are five things to consider

  1. How are you securing the data and workflow of work-from-home employees?
  2. Do all employees currently have access to everything on your network?
  3. Are you running any unlicensed or out-of-date applications?
  4. Do you know the security posture of all the online storage or web-based apps your staff is using?
  5. Are the smart devices (security, thermostats, lighting, or speakers) in your office―or home office―locked down?

The data is the future of your business Protecting it is protecting your future

But data security and protection aren’t only about protecting yourself from ransomware, malware, and phishing. What about power outages, vandalism, storm activity, fires, or flooding?
