By some estimates, more than two-thirds of all businesses in the U.S. work with a managed services provider (MSP) to improve the efficiency, reliability and security of their critical IT operations. As technology environments become more complex, the demand for these services continues to build — analysts are predicting the market will grow by nearly 75 percent over the next five years.
The pandemic has forced organizations to rapidly implement remote work strategies in order to sustain operations. The transition has largely been successful thanks to an array of cloud-based applications, collaboration tools and remote access technologies.
In our last post, we discussed four cyber threats that you should prepare for in 2021. Ransomware, threats targeting personal devices, encrypted threats and attacks on virtual private networks are among the cyberattacks expected to cause the most damage in the coming year.
As hackers continue to step up their attacks, every organization should provide employees with regular security awareness training.
Human beings are the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain. Organizations can implement the most sophisticated security tools, but one user clicking on a malicious link or giving up sensitive data can cause a security incident.
With technology budgets expected to shrink in 2021, IT organizations must adapt their budget proposals.
IT budgeting is a tough job under the best of circumstances, but it is especially challenging this year because of the coronavirus pandemic and the shutdown measures required to contain it.
Cybersecurity threats skyrocketed in 2020. Hackers took advantage of the fear and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to lure in victims with phishing campaigns. The rapid transition to work-from-home strategies left organizations vulnerable to attacks on remote workers with inadequate security controls.
A new study finds that the majority of companies hit with ransomware attacks choose to pay the ransom in hopes of quickly regaining access to their data. However, federal officials warn that those who negotiate with ransomware extortionists may expose themselves to millions of dollars in fines and penalties.
Please join us and donate to the 3rd annual “Joy For All Gift Drive” benefiting the teens and young adults in foster care in Marion county and surrounding areas.
There are almost 1,000 teens and young adults in foster care in our community – kids without the support of Mom and Dad in the home - these kids are often placed in homes with meager incomes, and often don’t have much Christmas cheer.
In October, a Dutch security researcher claimed he was able to access President Trump’s Twitter account by guessing the password — “maga2020!” — after only six tries. Victor Gevers said that after he alerted U.S. cybersecurity officials, the password was changed, and two-factor authentication was added.
Insider threats don’t have to be malicious to be costly. Employee workarounds and policy violations create significant security risks.
Remote work has brought many benefits to both employees and employers, but it has also heightened security threats.
