Every small business needs some level of protection against hackers and cyberattacks. From phishing to social engineering, viruses and ransomware, it seems as though there is something dangerous lurking around every corner. To be in business today means to be online or at least use computers to some degree at your office, shop, or store. Regardless of the industry that you serve, it is crucial to protect your small business from potential disaster through the use of a well-planned and strategic network security program. Network security involves a variety of services and solutions, including anti-virus, anti-malware, and other security software programs, monitoring and management services, employee education, and the elimination of vulnerabilities in the workplace.
Believe it or not, simple software updates and upgrades, hardware updates and upgrades, and firmware updates are some of the most essential tasks that you can perform to protect and safeguard your business. Unfortunately, many small business owners are simply too busy and are already wearing too many hats to have time to backup their systems, let alone focus on network security programs. At Synivate, our small business security services are designed to assist small to mid-sized organizations, finding custom solutions that are affordable and powerful to protect their essential data. We work with each client as an individual to help them find ways to avoid and reduce potential security risks and provide them with the tools they need to grow and continue moving forward.
You might not think it is essential, but the more you and your team know about how to avoid certain types of cyberattacks, the better off your company will be now and in the future. Phishing emails used to be fairly easy to identify, making it simple to spot out a hacker right away and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. However, today’s cyber criminals are a bit savvier and, while they still rely on human error to access important data, they have a few more tricks up their collective sleeves, as well. Many of the emails used to contact employees today utilize phishing and the more targeted spear phishing methods that enable them to fool some of the most educated and experienced users.
Synivate can provide you and your staff with comprehensive education, training, and support to help you not only spot a phishing or cyberattack attempt, but also to know what to do about it. Regular training and ongoing live support can help you win the battle against cyber criminals and protect your company’s essential data. While you will not be able to prevent every single attack, we have methods that we use to help our clients prepare for cyber attacks so they can protect what matters and get back in business as quickly as possible. A strategic data backup strategy and disaster recovery plan is an excellent first step that will help you to get your system back online right away. Our technicians will assist you in putting up further barriers and protections to prevent further access by the attacker.
