The risks of cybersecurity tend to bring additional burden to everyday processes.  Protecting company data, networks and information means every door needs to have a lock on it.  The mistake that a lot of SMB’s make is the assumption that a tool designed for today’s attacks will work for the future; which can leave them vulnerable to damaging threats to their data.

PunchAlert is the latest in emergency communication and notification software.

If you have a Netflix, Dropbox or Facebook account, then you’re already familiar with how the cloud works.  It may seem intimidating since we can’t wrap our arms around it, but it’s an extremely useful tool with anywhere, anytime access and the ability to house large quantities of data without having to fill and maintain rooms with expensive hardware and software to manage it all.

The landscape of today’s work environment is so different from just a few years ago, with more and more employees working remotely, using their own devices (depending on an organization’s BYOD policies) and communicating more commonly via text or chat as opposed to email.  With all these new communication vehicles, it only stands to reason that we now have increased opportunities to work smarter, rather than harder, throughout our workday. 

Our partner, Sophos, recently launched a tool they call Intercept X.  Intercept X creates a complete threat picture - - with a set of comprehensive data that enables you to respond in an effective, timely way based on given alerts.  It helps users make sense of their data, and with this visibility it makes future threat prevention simpler.
