We live in a tech-driven world; whether in the office, at home, the car, or even in sky, the convenience and access to vast amounts of information is always a fingertip away. If you ignore innovation, you risk rendering yourself obsolete.\u00a0 However, when you\u2019re responsible for making technology investment decisions for an entire organization, being \u201cTech Savvy\u201d is not a choice.\u00a0 The protection of any organization relies heavily on people who are well-informed on all the ins and outs of malware or other network security exploits.<\/p>\n

It can be especially overwhelming when a single person is held responsible for keeping up with the monumental list of published vulnerabilities. While not every decision-maker may identify as an expert in network security, they should acknowledge these important areas to better protect their information:<\/p>\n

Recognize the Importance of Investing in a Trusted Partner<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cybersecurity is a full-time job; even when organizations have an existing internal IT department, it is not uncommon to hear the resources are spread thin. In these situations, it\u2019s less about whether your IT department has the ability, and more if they have the bandwidth to effectively manage Network Security. Consider providing supplemental network support as a compliment to your existing team, not a replacement.<\/p>\n

Partnering with a trusted service provider can ease the burden for any organization\u2019s IT department, from utilizing common Help Desk support to managing Network Security patches & updates.\u00a0 The only important thing to keep in mind when choosing an MSP is that you always get what you pay for, so be sure they are a highly reputable organization.<\/p>\n

Keep Your Business Moving Forward with Proper Tools & Processes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Operating systems and software become obsolete over time.\u00a0 Often organizations forego updating end-user operating systems either because of the strain it places on internal resources, or the cost associated to licensing each machine.\u00a0 However, there are a few things to consider:<\/p>\n

It May Not Be Optional:<\/span><\/strong> Depending on the industry, your organization could be required to operate using actively supported systems. For Example, PCI Compliance, 201 CMR 17:00, and HIPPA Compliance all have guidelines for storing and protecting sensitive records. In the event of a data breach or audit, enforcement could administer fines for each violation, should it be determined your organization failed to comply with their interpretation of \u201cbest efforts\u201d.<\/p>\n

It Is Cost Prohibitive: <\/strong><\/span>While there may be initial savings for not updating systems, the sheer number of vulnerabilities to your network after a system falls outside of support will likely result in an eventual data breach. The cost of downtime, backup recovery and restoration, as well as potential liabilities for failure to protect your data far surpasses the cost of updating your systems.<\/p>\n

The only certainty we have is that the security landscape will continue to evolve at a rapid pace.\u00a0 Business executives and IT departments must work together to ensure they possess the proper coverage for their organization.
