Boost! Cyber Security Packages

I have a handle on my IT, but I’m not sure I need to do anything about cyber-security. Does my company have any information worth protecting? 

This is a great question that we get asked frequently. The short answer is, yes! However, let us give you some more details. 

Every business has confidential information or intellectual property that you would not want to fall into the hands of threat actors (read: bad guys). Think private employee information like addresses, social insurance numbers and phone numbers. Private client information like credit card #’s, communication logs, health-care history or payment history. Intellectual property like novel product design and customer lists. Confidential contracts, bank account info and so on. Loss of this information could lead to down-time, loss of customer confidence, fraudulent charges or transactions, and (worst case) loss of revenue. 

For Instance: a bad guy got into the network of a small manufacturer we know via an unfiltered phishing email and locked the company out of all their files, demanding a ransom for returned access. The manufacturer had no interest in paying the ransom (as there is no guarantee of actually receiving back the lost files) and lost 3 days of manufacturing time while their engineering department recreated all the lost work. Talk about a loss of revenue and efficiency. 

This leads to the next question: How do I make my business safer? There are so many security services and offerings out there, it’s overwhelming trying to determine what is helpful and necessary.
