Using IT Support Services in Sacramento to Strategically Solidify Security

IT support providers in Sacramento need to unveil a strategic approach to operations. It is no good just throwing money at the issue. That could result in success, but it will be a fluke if there is no forward strategy behind spending. You need to focus on specific areas, which need securing and branch out from there. Your overall goal is going to be the most comprehensive security, which is cost-effective and protective. To that end, several areas that we focus on at Noverus include:

• Proper training as well as education
• Prioritization of risks, and which to focus on over others
• Having a security approach which incorporates many layers
• Ensuring responses in the event of a breach are effective

Proper Training and Education

IT support providers in Sacramento can be instrumental here. Training is not enough. Technology is always in flux as innovations alter what is and is not secure. Staying ahead of that is difficult for businesses unless the cutting-edge tech is one of their core operational prerogatives. What this means is that after training, you and your staff need to be educated at regular intervals. The right IT group can provide such education in a timely fashion, and with convenience. This is a prime feature of MSP operations, which make such a route a wise investment.

Prioritization

Where are the greatest vulnerabilities that could negatively affect your organization? Some vulnerability may be huge, but an intrusion through such avenues will not do much to hamper business. Some are small, but act like the thermal exhaust port on the Death Star: two gravity-defying “hacks” fired by a farm boy cybercriminal could blow up the whole operation. You want basic defenses for big vulnerabilities that are not operation-intensive. You need foolproof security against those little “thermal exhaust ports” that could tank your business.

Finding them may not be easy and could require advice from professional technology experts. Different businesses have different vulnerabilities. Some of the largest vulnerabilities actually come from inside your business, which is another reason education and prioritization are so important.

Layers

A castle has an advance guard, a moat, guards on towers, barricaded walls, and an interior that is in many ways compartmentalized, and hides valuables. It also includes an escape route. A castle has multiple layers of security.

You want password-protected entry, firewalls acting like moats around your operation, antivirus protocols acting like soldiers on the walls, and compartmentalized infrastructure, which protects information families. Contact Noverus to see which layers will be the most effective and which ones you cannot do without.

Breach Response

You need quick reporting procedures and quick action to close a breach. The international space station has airlocks and compartmentalized spaces that can be sealed off immediately in the event of a breach. Problems need to be contained–quarantined–and operations sustained. Cloud computing BDR (Backup and Data Recovery) solutions should be there if the breach cannot be contained as well.

Securing Your Business

These are just a few of many steps to take in properly safeguarding your business, and cost-effectively. IT support services in Sacramento through Noverus Innovations, Inc. can help educate your staff, layer your security, design breach protocols, and prioritize.
