It is impossible to go through your news feed without seeing some major company becoming the victim of a cyber attack or data breach. In the old days of cybersecurity – which was only six months ago, companies paid attention to keeping the bad guys out of the network. We know that as technology changes, hackers adapt quickly to those changes. This is why having a Managed Security Service Provider paying equal attention to guarding the perimeter & monitoring inside the perimeter is critical to ensure your company is not tomorrow’s top headline.

 

A Slip In Cybersecurity Is The Loss That Keeps On Losing

Some major retailers have experienced some form of cyber attack over the past year. Best Buy, Macy’s and Cheddar’s are the latest victims which has cost each of them time, money and most of all customers.  Almost 20% of customers will stop doing business with a company after a data breach and one-third will not do business for an extended period of time. These are major companies who have been in business for decades, what would a 20% drop in business mean to your company?

 

Your Brand Is Worth Protecting

Like Will Rogers said “It takes a lifetime to build a good reputation but you can lose it in a minute”  There are a lot of factors that go into why your company has built great credibility with your customers; hard work, great service, trust, honesty, an amazing culture to name a few.  However one mistake could tarnish your reputation and cause your customers to question the relationship you have worked hard to build. It is important to focus on continuing to build your brand through what you do best, and bringing in a dedicated partner to focus on your Managed IT needs.

 

A Full Cybersecurity Plan For Kicking And Keeping Them Out

Many companies that we speak with have adequate safeguards in place for making sure their network perimeter is safe.  However the majority of data breaches or attacks come from within the network. Network Intrusion could be undetected for months or even years. This is where companies face the biggest threat to their network security, and also where we find the largest void in a company’s cybersecurity strategy. Keeping up with the constant monitoring internally and externally of the network is difficult for any business. Having a dedicated strategy to keep intruders out and also have an eye on kicking them out is imperative to not become the next headline.

 

How Secure Is Your Network?

Whether you are an owner, a CTO or work on Managing IT needs for your company one thing is certain- it is always a good idea to bring in an outside specialist to answer that question. The reason is that you are seeing threats from your point of view, having a fresh set of eyes can help you discover issues that were always there. iNsite offers a Security Assessment to help you find the gaps in your strategy while also showing you how to remedy the situation.

DIY Network Security

There is a reason why lawn care companies are so popular- virtually everyone knows how to mow their lawn, however not everyone wants to mow their lawn.  The same can be true of cybersecurity- you can purchase all of the tools, monitoring software and implement them yourself. Many customers that we speak with utilize us for their technology needs and we provide consultation on how to properly Manage IT needs within their company. However there comes a point where you are unable to scale yourself.

 

Focus On What You Do Best

When you’re company is young you need to be all things within the organization from Janitor to Owner and everywhere in between.  There comes a point where time becomes the most valuable currency that you are in control of. Having a trusted Managed IT partner like iNsite allows you to focus on running your business not your technology.  If you are able to have a team of experts manage your network for you, this allows you to focus on what you do best.

Managed IT Is A Utility In 2018

Your CTO or IT Manager should be focusing on technology to bring you an edge over the competition, the big picture items they were hired for.  Just like you have a water bill or other utilities, IT should be something that is always budgeted to help keep your network moving at the speed your business deserves.  Having a manageable IT budget that incorporates cybersecurity, acquiring the latest technology, keeping the software you need up to date, being able to scale your business at an affordable monthly spend and so much more is a necessity in 2018. If your company is utilizing a reactive approach to growth, Managed IT, and monitoring your network there are many ways to transform your strategy from reactive to proactive.
