Recently I met with my friend, David Behen at York coffee house to talk about cybersecurity. I was shocked to learn how unprepared I am to manage cybersecurity for my business.
Cybersecurity has become an essential part of protecting any business in today’s digital landscape. As more companies rely on online platforms for day-to-day operations, the threat of cyberattacks continues to grow, and the consequences can be devastating.
For small and medium-sized businesses, the risk of a data breach or system compromise is particularly high due to limited resources and a lack of in-house expertise.
A single attack could result in the loss of sensitive customer data, financial damage, or a tarnished reputation that could take years to recover from.
This is where Managed It Support plays a critical role. By outsourcing IT management to professionals, businesses gain access to expert cybersecurity services, including real-time monitoring, threat detection, and prompt responses to any potential vulnerabilities.
Managed IT service ensures that your systems are secure, up-to-date, and optimized for performance, allowing you to focus on your business goals while leaving the complexities of cybersecurity in the hands of specialists.
With the right support, you can mitigate risks and safeguard your business against the growing number of cyber threats.
One surprise was to learn that the biggest threat to most businesses, including mine, is ransomware. I had known that even a small business like mine would face significant risk if my system is held hostage by a cyber-criminal.
Secondly, I learned from David that the method I was using to secure my passwords was not adequate. Any format I would use would be easily detected by hackers.
You will learn about the solutions to these problems if you attend the Leaders Connect event on Friday, February 24th, 2023.
David Behen will lead the workshop on cybersecurity. Here are some further comments from David to learn about what will be presented on Friday:
Cybersecurity is sometimes hard to understand. Too many acronyms, too many techy words and the price tag to protect your company always seems too high. How do I know if I even need to be worried or concerned about cyber? In our interactive discussion this Friday morning we will try to demystify cybersecurity for you so you can start to feel better about what you are doing to protect yourself and your company.
