A business is always at risk of being destroyed, be it online or offline. According to a study by 1&1, 67 percent of people confirmed that someone they know has had information stolen from them while online. In order to prevent your business from joining this statistic, there are several features you should look for when considering your network’s security.
The safety of your network’s information is imperative to the success of your business. If you neglect your security, you could potentially lose both clients and your own data. Here are three things to look for when security is a top concern.
Discover Issues Before They Turn into Problems
Does your network administrator scan your sites for security discrepancies? Security scans are an imperative part of your online presence, and they can go a long way toward limiting malicious activity directed at your network. Any problems related to security are often not your fault, but even a slight vulnerability can let threats worm their way into your network.
Business Solutions & Software Group can help make sure your networks are as secure as can be. We can equip your business with a Unified Threat Management tool (UTM) to keep threats out of your network, as well as monitor and maintain your networks for any malicious activity. We can identify when your software requires an update, including patches and license renewals.
Back Up Your Data Before It’s Lost Forever
Even though a UTM is a comprehensive security solution designed to keep threats out, cyber criminals are always developing new threats. It’s possible that even with maximum security, something can slip through the cracks. In the worst-case scenario (like what happened to Sony), it’s important to have some sort of backup and recovery solution available, especially to prevent costly downtime and loss of data.
With a Backup and Disaster Recovery solution (BDR) from Business Solutions & Software Group, your business can know that when the worst happens, you can restore your data to before the catastrophe had struck. You’ll suffer minimal downtime in the process, and your backup will be restored as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Improve Uptime and Decrease Downtime
Redundancy has become an important part of the business world. It works by backing up your server’s data on another, identical server. Between several different servers, one will always be active. This means that a high percentage of uptime is almost guaranteed, and the chance of server going down is minimized, and, maintenance can be done without causing dreaded downtime.
Business Solutions & Software Group can equip your business with virtual, cloud-based servers, which can free your business from the costs associated with running a physical one. This cuts maintenance, electricity, and upkeep costs, while allowing your business to stay mobile and flexible.
With these three tips in mind, you’ll be able to make an educated decision about the future of your business’s network security. For more information about what Business Solutions & Software Group can do for your business, give us a call at (954) 575-3992.
