Data breaches are always a potential problem. They can cause all types of problems inside your business and can even cause strife should your customers need to be notified. In today’s blog, we thought we would review some of the largest and most noteworthy breaches in 2024.
When you think about it, the technology we have today is truly awe-inspiring, simply because it enables us to be so much more productive as we exercise our creativity. All one really has to do to prove its value is to compare the quality of life we enjoy now as compared to almost any time in the past.
However, this does not mean that everyone is using technology to its full capacity and, as a result, suffering some consequential effects. Let’s consider some of these effects to reinforce why it pays to embrace the potential uses of technology fully.
If your business’ technology seems to be a-okay, the thought of updating it may seem unnecessary. This is decidedly not the case. Updates are what keep your business functioning (and therefore, profitable), while every skipped update opens you up to vulnerabilities, bugs, and much more severe consequences when you experience a true threat.
Updates are critical for the continued utility and security of any computer system or program. That said, updates aren’t always perfect. It’s possible that even a routine update could sideline your critical applications. If this happens, you’re dealing with downtime and failing to serve your customers… all because you were trying to do the right thing and maintain your technology.
Make no mistake: updates are crucial, so to make sure they don’t disrupt your business, they need to be approached with strategy and discipline.
Having trouble diagnosing issues with your computer? It could be the operating system, or it could be a piece of software you installed on it, OR it could be a driver or another peripheral connected to it. How do you know what the issue is, and how do you address it? That’s where Safe Mode comes in; you can boot your operating system in its most basic form, allowing your managed service provider to more easily determine the problem.
When it comes to your technology, can you honestly say you have a plan? Or do you just pick things up that you think you need without a second thought? If your business doesn’t take technology acquisitions seriously, you’re setting yourself up for failure—and that’s where an IT roadmap presents a ton of value.
Wi-Fi is everywhere, and only when it’s not available (and you’re in a location where you cannot get cell service) do we realize just how much of a luxury it is to have a solid connection. You can give your team the solid wireless connection it deserves by carefully selecting where you place your organization’s router. Here are a few tips you can consider when placing your office’s wireless router.
