It might shock you to know that the IT services industry is not regulated like most other professions. That means ANYONE can claim they are an “IT expert. That’s seems crazy, doesn’t it? Crazy that the person responsible for managing the network that supports your entire business and keeps it secure from hackers who are working around the clock to steal your data - might not have any real training on experience with either of those things. There is no shortage of horror stories about incompetent IT “gurus” bungling jobs and causing MORE problems as a result of their gross incompetence, lack of qualified staff and poor cyber security skills. That’s why it’s CRITICAL to choose a qualified, reputable IT provider who can do what they say they will do. If you want to know what qualities to look for and what questions to ask BEFORE hiring an IT provider, we’ve put together a guide that will walk you through it.

Are there holes in your network that let hackers in to steal your data? If you said no, you might want to consider pentesting for your organization. Penetration tests (or pentesting) gives a third party the authorization to “hack” into your network. We’ve done dozens of these and there are always a few common results. One big vulnerability we see is businesses with unpatched internal systems. Software upgrades and updates take only a few minutes and are critical because they patch up holes that hackers know about. When you get the option to update - take it! And if you want to learn more about pentesting for your organization, get in touch with our team. https://lnkd.in/dpRVGd-j) #pentesting #pentetrationtesting #cybersecurity #businesstip #CitaraSystems #BostonBusiness #EasternMassachusetts #Worcester #Marlborough #Providence

Mixing work and personal use on the same device is asking for trouble. It increases security risks for the business every time you connect to public WiFi, order from a website that isn’t secure, open up a personal email, click a link from a spam text, and the list goes on an on. Our recommended best practice is to not mix the two at all! #cybersecurity #technews #businessowners #data #CitaraSystems #BostonBusiness #EasternMassachusetts #Worcester #Marlborough #Providence

Just because the email comes from someone that you know does NOT automatically mean it’s 100% secure. That seems confusing, right? We tell you to look out for imposters who are trying to trick you but now you have to watch out for emails from your own friends and family? There is a certain type of virus that is able to break into your email contact folder, replicate itself and send copies to everyone on your contact list…as you. If this happened to a cousin or a grandparent and they send you an email, you could unknowingly let the virus into your network. There are ways to protect yourself from this!
