How Proactive IT Services Can Help Improve Your Business Security

Over the last year, companies of all sizes have found themselves dealing with large hacks

and data breaches. While it’s easy to assume that these kinds of hacks are events that come

out of the blue, that’s not an accurate picture of what often happens.

In multiple cases, it’s come to light that businesses have failed to take the necessary steps

to prevent these hacks. In several high-profile incidents, companies actually went out of

their way to avoid spending on the necessary security measures. As these events have

shown, trying to cut costs upfront is simply not worth the potential risk exposure that

doing so can create.

The Reality of Hacking and Data Breaches

When hackers take the time to go after very large corporations, they generally have a very

specific reason for doing so. Whether it’s because they see the corporation as a lucrative

target or don’t agree with the way the corporation does business, these hacks are very

coordinated efforts.

What many people don’t realize is for the majority of other hacking and data breach

incidents, the individuals carrying out these acts aren’t targeting their actions in a hyper-

focused way. Instead, they’re looking for the lowest hanging fruit in terms of weaknesses.

From software that hasn’t been updated to companies that don’t have a strong password

policy in place, these are the types of vulnerabilities that hackers can target on a large scale

with minimal effort.

cyber security in place, Cincinnati business owners can greatly reduce their risk of any type

of compromising event by working with knowledgeable IT consultants to develop

and viruses.

key role in ensuring that all of a company’s data is secure. And whether your business is

already utilizing cloud technologies or wants to transition to the cloud in a way that’s fully
