No Matter The Size Of Your Business, Network Security Is A Definite Requirement

When it comes to network security, it is easy for small to medium-sized businesses to say, “Not me,” “They are only after the big guys.” The reality is that attacks on all networks have been increasing year after year as hackers have become more sophisticated, and small businesses are being affected every day by relaxed or non-existent security policies.

A 2013 study showed that 1 in every 5 small businesses networks would be compromised. With ever-increasing technological advances, it is likely that since then, these numbers have climbed, posing a significant risk for a potential breach, lost or stolen data, or some type of malicious threat.

There Are A Number Of Ways Alpha & Omega Computer Consultants In Middle Tennessee Helps To Ensure That You Are At Minimum Risk

Updates

Keeping computers and network equipment updated is one of the most effective steps to preventing a possible network security issue.

Firewall

A common mistake in small to medium business networks is the lack of a business-grade firewall solution. Often business owners are unaware of the difference between having a network router and having a network firewall in place.

Passwords

Password and password protection are proving to be an area that needs attention when discussing network security. Using sophisticated software and tools, hackers are easily gaining access to small business networks through simple or default passwords.

Antivirus/Antispam

Most people know that antivirus and antispam software are necessary components of network security, but many people don’t realize why they are so important until their computer or network is infected with a virus, malware, spyware, or a host of other potentially dangerous issues.

Endpoint Protection

We understand you’ve faced a cyberattack. It’s crucial to regain control and fortify your defenses. Endpoint protection software acts as a shield on each device, blocking malware, phishing attempts, and unauthorized access. This can prevent future breaches and stop attackers from gaining a foothold in your network.

We can help you implement robust endpoint protection and identify any lingering threats, so you can recover with confidence.

User Awareness Training

Empower Your Team to Be Your First Line of Defense. Even with strategic support, your employees are vital in cybersecurity. Our user awareness training equips your 10- to 100-person team with the knowledge to identify and stop cyber threats. They’ll learn to recognize phishing scams, avoid suspicious links, and create strong passwords.

We provide ongoing support and updates, ensuring your team stays informed and vigilant against ever-evolving cyberattacks.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

From tax records to client information, your data is essential in running your business. When it’s lost because of an unanticipated natural disaster or, even worse, it is stolen, you need to make sure you can recover that data so your business can continue to thrive and grow without losing clients.
