Good evening, Reno! I’m Brenda Jackson reporting live from downtown Reno. Tonight, we’re talking about a subject that’s on the minds of many business owners: data security. I’m joined by Scott Morris, an IT Specialist with Reno Computer Services. Scott, thank you so much for being here.
Scott, what are some of the biggest threats businesses in our area face when it comes to data breaches?
Cyber Security
“Thanks for having me, Brenda. You’re right, data security is a major concern for businesses of all sizes. In fact, according to a recent study by Verizon, 43% of cyber attacks target small businesses. This highlights just how vulnerable we can be.”
“The most common threats include phishing emails, malware, and ransomware. Cybercriminals are constantly developing new ways to exploit vulnerabilities, so it’s crucial for businesses to stay ahead of the curve.”
Data Security
“Consequently, robust data security measures are essential. This includes strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and up-to-date antivirus software. Moreover, regular employee training on cybersecurity best practices is vital. I remember one time a client almost fell victim to a phishing scam because they didn’t recognize the red flags in the email. Thankfully, we were able to intervene and prevent any damage.”
Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution
“Notwithstanding those preventative measures, it’s also crucial to have a solid backup and disaster recovery plan in place. Think of it like insurance for your data. In the event of a breach or system failure, you need to be able to quickly restore your data and minimize downtime.”
“Conversely, relying solely on cloud storage can be risky if there’s a service outage. A hybrid approach that combines local backups with secure cloud storage is often the most effective solution.”
Office 365 Support
“Many businesses in Reno utilize Office 365, and we provide comprehensive support for this platform. We can help businesses set up security features like data loss prevention (DLP) and multi-factor authentication to protect sensitive information stored in the cloud.”
“Ordinarily, I advise clients to regularly review their Office 365 settings and permissions to ensure they are appropriate for their business needs.”
