Never Again Worry About Paying a Ransom To A Cybercriminal!
Cybersecurity Security is a huge concern for every business, but very few organizations have the resources to effectively combat cyber threats and attacks. With ransomware, hacks, cyber-attacks, vulnerabilities, phishing schemes, and data theft affecting companies all around the world on a daily basis, it’s just a matter of time before your business is hit. Access to sophisticated, 24/7 cybersecurity protection is one of the top reasons businesses hire a Managed Services Provider. Our goal is to provide you with the best network security protection possible, while also keeping your unique needs and budget in mind.
Hacks & Attacks
These days, hackers, attackers, and even automated web bots are all trying to gain access to your network and ultimately access your private customer and business information. When successful, the attackers can lock down your data or worse they can release your customer information to the world.
With the sheer number of security threats faced by companies, it is important to evaluate the vulnerabilities that may affect your business. Lost revenues due to downtime or large fines due to data breaches may not be an option and could affect the overall health of the organization.
According to Sophos, the average total cost of recovery from a ransomware attack has more than doubled in a year, increasing from $761,106 in 2020 to $1.85 million in 2021. The average ransom paid is $170,404. The global findings also show that only 8% of organizations managed to get back all of their data after paying a ransom, with 29% getting back no more than half of their data. Also, 54% of businesses believe cyberattacks are now too advanced for their IT team to handle on their own.
Sophos also reports that recovering from a ransomware attack can take years and is about so much more than just decrypting and restoring data. Whole systems need to be rebuilt from the ground up and then there is the operational downtime and customer impact to consider, and much more.
Tech Wizards offers a comprehensive multilayered cybersecurity protection package to provide the level of protection needed by your company. The foundation of this protection lies in our proven, leading-edge “Zero Trust” security tool, which prevents any new or unauthorized applications or processes to run on your systems. This provides an almost impenetrable “last wall of protection” for your computers, giving your systems maximum protection against cyberthreats of all kinds and assuring that you’ll never have to pay a ransom to a hacker or cybercriminal.
Internal Threats
Not only is it necessary to protect a network from outside threats but internal threats can also be a huge vulnerability. Part of a thorough network security plan is ensuring that employees are using best practices and are educated on their role in keeping the network safe.
More than 80% of all cyberattacks are phishing attacks. In addition to comprehensive email protection (including Phishing and SPAM protection), Tech Wizards can also empower your employees to mount a strong defense against cybercrime with our Employee Security Training solutions that feature phishing simulations to enhance their security posture against this serious cyberthreat, making them the best defense against cybercrime.
Email Encryption
As schemes like phishing and spoofing become increasingly prevalent, email encryption provides a defense against potentially malicious links, stolen passwords or other personal information, or identity theft. End-to-end email encryption effectively secures data sent via email so that it is only accessible and legible to the sender and the recipient. In other words, the two parties at either end can read the contents. Any attempts at interception will wind up with a scramble of illegible gibberish.
Additionally, those businesses that must conform to industry compliance regulations are required to encrypt certain email messages that contain PII (Personally identifiable Information) or PHI (Personal Health Information).
Tech Wizards offers a budget-friendly, easy-to-use, and highly secure HIPAA-compliant email encryption service that will protect your confidential information and keep you compliant with industry regulations.
Other Security Issues
Tech Wizards can also help you with the following security issues that are vital to protecting your network and data.
- Updates - Keeping computers, software applications, and network equipment updated is one of the most effective steps to preventing a possible network security issue.
- Firewall - A common mistake in small to medium business networks is the lack of a business grade firewall solution. Often business owners are unaware of the difference between having a network router and having a network firewall in place.
- Passwords - Password and password protection are proving to be an area that needs attention when discussing network security. Using sophisticated software and tools, hackers are easily gaining access to small business networks through simple or default passwords
- Antivirus/Antispam - Most people know that antivirus and antispam software are necessary components of network security, but many people don’t realize why it’s so important until their computer or network is infected with a virus, malware, spyware, or a host of other potentially dangerous issues.
- 2 Factor Authentication - Passwords are no longer good enough. Adding 2FA to protect your Office 365, VPN connectivity and other applications is critical in today's high risk cyber environment.
Compliance
If you store customer data, private information, or take credit cards, network security is no longer an option, but instead is a necessity. Not to mention if you must adhere to HIPAA, SOC, or any other regulations, you need a team that understands these requirements and a team that can provide the pieces necessary to keep you compliant.
Nobody likes dealing with all the time-wasting tasks associated with regulatory compliance and managing information security programs. However, they are necessary to reduce cybersecurity risks for your company. Whether you’ve been asked to comply with cyber insurance policies, federal and state laws, industry requirements, vendor contracts, or the forensic investigation following a breach, Tech Wizards is here to simplify your life in performing all the required tasks.
We offer a purpose-built Compliance Automation Service to automate a ton of the compliance assessment, management and documentation tasks that can really bog you down, and often get pushed to the bottom of the to-do list and never get done.
You can stop worrying about when (not if) that compliance auditor shows up at your door when Tech Wizards takes the work and worry out of compliance requirements for your company.
