How to Help Protect Your Business from Ransomware
Ransomware
Cybercriminals make millions from ransomware exploits.  They attack indiscriminately, looking for careless users who make one bad click. The click triggers automatic encryption of everything on the machine, and only paying a ransom will get it back.  Here's how to click carefully and help protect your business from ransomware.  
 
If you're considering outsourcing your IT, there's probably someone in the office who handles technology issues even though it isn't their "real" job.  (Or, maybe that person is you.)  Here's how a decision to outsource your IT could be a game-changer for staff satisfaction, productivity, and data security.
BackupIt's a bad feeling to delete vacation pictures on your phone and then realize you didn't have them backed up.  What if your customer information, financials, and sales reports were lost or encrypted by ransomware and you had no data backup?  Here's why reliable data backup is essential.
