Is Your Company Vulnerable to Cyber Attacks?

Is Your Company Vulnerable to Cyber Attacks?

Many companies believe they are doing all they can to protect their IT systems from cyber attacks. However, hackers and viruses still find a way in. When this occurs, it can wreak havoc on an organization, causing system downtime and increasing the chance of information breaches. In addition to the costs associated with paying staff when they are unable to work, affected organizations risk costly lawsuits and loss of reputation.

Poor Patch Management Increases the Risk of Cyber Attacks

There are few things that make a company more vulnerable to cyber attacks than poor patch management.  Numerous studies have shown that companies can prevent a large portion of cybercrime by taking a more proactive approach to patch management. However, this can be difficult in large organizations with multiple systems.

Patches should be applied within one week of their release. When implemented properly and in the right timeframe, patches can stop most hackers dead in their tracks.

Most systems today will automatically apply patches with permission from the user. Unfortunately, many users simply ignore system alerts regarding the availability of new patches. This happens for a number of reasons. Sometimes, users worry that alerts are not legitimate. Other times, it’s because users believe the patch will take too long to apply.

Whatever the reason, failing to apply patches leaves the entire organization vulnerable to cyber attacks.

We Handle IT System Maintenance So You Can Focus On What Really Matters

It can be next to impossible for management to monitor every employee to ensure that patches are being applied as needed. This is especially true in large organizations with multiple employees.

Data Resolution can help ensure that patches are applied and systems remain healthy and operating at peak efficiency. This helps prevent the chance of cyber attacks and takes the responsibility off staff.

Our managed services include monitoring and maintenance of all IT systems including desktops, laptops and mobile devices. Our team has years of IT experience and understands how to protect your organization from a wide range of cyber threats.

Choosing a Cloud Storage Provider

Choosing a Cloud Storage Provider

Companies today create massive amounts of data. This data must be stored and accessed as needed. This is typically accomplished with the help of the cloud.

The cloud refers to a global network of servers, each with their own unique functions. These servers are used to store and manage large amounts of data.

As opposed to accessing data on a personal computer, the data stored on the cloud can be accessed through any device that connects to the Internet. This enables data to be viewed at anytime, from any location in the world. However, not everyone can access this data. Access is limited to only those that are given permission.

Cloud Storage Solutions for Business and Government

A cloud storage provider provides the space needed to store large amounts of data. An experienced cloud storage provider offers exceptional protection and services designed to help your company excel.

Understanding The GDPR

Understanding The GDPR

On May 25th, the General Data Protection Regulation (GRPR) became enforceable. In case you haven’t heard about this new legislation, the GDPR is a European Union (EU) regulation, meant to synchronize data privacy laws across Europe. Although the GDPR is an EU regulation, it applies to anyone collecting data about EU citizens. This is true no matter where your business is located.

Under the GDPR, all information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify an EU citizen must be protected. Data covered under the legislation includes, but is not limited to, name, email address, photographs, computer IP address, cookie data, bank details, and medical information.

Companies or individuals collecting data about EU citizens must be able to prove that they have taken the necessary precautions to protect this data. Any breach must be reported within 72 hours.

Failure to comply with the GDPR will result in hefty fines, up to five percent of a company’s global turnover.It is crucial that companies do all they can to remain compliant.

As more and more businesses turn to the cloud, a lot of questions are being raised about companies doing business with, or that have locations or employees in the EU. Many of these companies want to know how the GDPR will affect their business. It’s important you learn all you can about this regulation.

Under the GDPR, any data regarding EU citizens can only be retained for a certain period of time. After this time, the data must be completely deleted. Data stored must be protected under the strict guidelines set by the EU.

As the owner of your company, it is up to you to maintain control of your data and ensure compliance. It’s crucial that you learn where your data is stored, how it is protected, how it can be transferred, and how much access you have. It’s also important to understand how your cloud service provider handles backups and manages retention.

Data Resolution understands the importance of remaining compliant with the GDPR. Our team is standing by ready to help you understand how your data is protected and stored on the cloud. Please contact us for more information.

Data Storage Security

Data Storage Security

As more and more businesses are turning to IoT solutions and cloud storage, concerns about data storage security are becoming more common. In fact, data security is among the top reasons that millions of users avoid storing their data online.

What you might not realize is that data stored on the cloud is much safer than that stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cloud data looks nothing like the data you input into your computer. Instead, it is stored in an encrypted form. Cloud data reads like a code that is virtually impossible to crack.

Much like your home computer, cloud data is stored on hard drives by a cloud service provider. The stored data can be accessed through the Internet only to users that have permission.

Clouds use special software to move data from one system to another. This helps ensure data is protected, even in the event of a power failure or system malfunction. Data is moved when a problem occurs, reducing the chance or length of downtime.

Although data stored on the cloud is much safer than data stored on your personal computer, it is still often pictured as a vulnerable asset, ready to be stolen by tech-savvy hackers. This is highly unlikely as it is next to impossible to crack encrypted data.

Public Clouds

Different companies have different needs when it comes to cloud storage. Public clouds are the most commonly used. These clouds can be accessed by anyone with permission. Although public clouds provide the same security as private clouds, they require very little maintenance.

Private Clouds

Large companies often have their own private clouds. Employees or customers can gain access to the private cloud by using a special key or password. Unlike public clouds, a private cloud enables the organization to use their own infrastructure. However, the private cloud is still scalable, has virtualization capabilities, and allows for the allocation of computing resources.

AWS GovCloud

AWS GovCloud provides the greatest level of protection. This cloud is designed to help government agencies and businesses that must meet strict regulations move data. While this cloud can protect sensitive workloads, organizations must be extremely careful when controlling who they give access to.

Data Resolution provides cloud services for companies and government agencies. Please contact us for more information about public clouds, private clouds, and AWS GovCloud.
