Your business is literally under attack 24x7. These cybergangs are sophisticated, determined and coming up with new ways of intrusion daily.
Ransomware attacks are occurring once every 11 seconds -- and these numbers are rising at alarming rates.
Ask yourself this...
Would you prefer to write a ransom check for $1 Million dollars and lose access to your IT systems for 2 weeks -- or, ramp up your business security and stop the cybercriminals dead in their tracks?
The choice is yours. Don't be a statistic.

The current cybersecurity landscape is growing increasingly more complex than we have ever seen. It's not just rouge solo actors anymore. These cybergangs are sophisticated, determined attackers and their operations are growing daily.
As business leaders, we must not shy away from this, but rather be prepared for the next great disruption, the hybrid work environment, where your business applications are running in the cloud and on our on-premises servers with some workers in the office and others out of the office. This separation continues to put the companies at risk that are not prepared.

COVID-19 has led to a more distributed and virtual workforce, requiring IT to deploy new security tools to protect your employees and your data regardless of where they are located.
Last year the pandemic triggered world-wide panic, forcing businesses to find ways to work remotely, even if it meant using employees home PCs, or going against other IT best practices temporarily.

It’s true that you need some of those before you can even get to MFA, but nobody can debate the effectiveness of MFA.

Businesses today depend on a wide variety of technologies to run their day-to-day operations. Some companies prefer to keep their network on-premise in their office so they have more control over it, while most others are moving some or all of their business applications to the cloud.
Regardless of where your data resides, your IT department or managed IT provider should have a list of important protocols to ensure every application and device on your network is properly managed for optimum performance and to reduce the risks of a data breach.
