A cybercriminal's intent is to inflict maximum pain on a business and its customers and vendors. Are there tax records? Personnel records? Financial account information? Are there embarrassing emails sent to or from your employees? They aren’t just looking to delete your files – they’re hoping to find data they can threaten to share publicly.

The statement, "we are what we frequently do," shares an honest truth behind our actions.

Does your Managed IT Service Provider get the job done? What about done well? Your timeline and budget is just as important to us as it is you. A great MSP should…

How can you tell if an employee is contributing their full potential to the company? It's an important question, but there's no objective measure for this. There are three important signs to look out for...

Cyber criminals often create fake online profiles to befriend you. The ultimate goal is to get you to share confidential information to them (either about you or the company you work for). Be careful of the friend requests you accept. Trust no Facebook friend (unless you know them in real life and you’re absolutely, positively sure they can be trusted).

Software patches can be issued when security flaws are discovered. If you find these software update notifications to be annoying, you’re not alone. But you can consider them the lesser of two evils when weighing up rebooting your device versus putting yourself at risk for malware and other types of computer infection.

Merry Christmas from our team to yours! 🎄

Our friends at KnowBe4 let us in on just how common cybercrime is & we'd like to let you in on it too… Always be slow to click, quick to think.

Ransomware is a serious threat. MSPs within Datto's recently released report made it clear we must remain vigilant.

Datto released a ransomware report and shared that within the last two years, MSPs have reported the following types of malware…

Although tools are great at helping us achieve goals, it wouldn't be anywhere without 'our people'.

December already!? Is it just us or does the end of the year fly by for you, too?

One of the many things people want to know after they suffer a ransomware attack is “how did they gain access to my network?” Hackers are sneaky. They will sit on their prey and be patient. Ransomware attackers may stay in the network for up to six months.

Small and medium sized businesses compromised with malware often don't discover it for more than two years.

From our work-family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! We are so grateful for our team, clients, and community support over this last year.

To the saying 'wake up and smell the roses,' we appreciate the thought, but we prefer coffee.

Are you familiar with the term 'smishing'? Smishing is phishing via Short Message Service (SMS) on a participating device, usually a cell phone. Why is it so popular among hackers?

Cybercrime is moving at light speed. Only a few years ago, cybercriminals used to shine in identity theft, but now they take over your organization’s network, hack into your bank accounts, and steal tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Organizations of every size and type are at risk.

Happy Halloween! Trick or Treat!? Which do you prefer?

What is one quote you personally or your team like to live by?

Who has access to sensitive files on your network? You’ve probably locked down sensitive files, such as HR and bookkeeping information, ensuring that only certain people can view them. But how about corporate strategy documents? Data about your clients? Your sales team’s interactions with prospects?

How often do you use public Wi-Fi when you're out and about? One of the best tips we can give you is to never use public Wi-Fi without using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Protect the data on your device(s) against cybercriminals with a VPN!

Good morning and happy Monday, all!

If there was one thing we have learned over the last year or more, it's that there are inevitable risks your business needs to be prepared to face. Natural disasters or tragic events can cause an uproar of chaos. If you don't have a plan in place for your business, now's the time to create one.
