What is a Threat Actor in Cybersecurity terms? We break it down in this simple guide. While it's often thought that cyber criminals target only large corporations and governments, that isn't true. Every company, regardless of size, is a potential target for Cyber Crime. Even if an attacker can only get $1,000 out of your company, done enough times that money adds up. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth

Not us over here just thinking about all those lucky people that are too small to be a target. Don't come for us, we're technology and cybersecurity professionals, not professional video editors. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth

"They do I.T. for us." is a phrase we hear from a lot of businesses, but is that enough?

Your Technology partner should be no different. In order to get you the right technology, in order to apply technology that moves your business forward, shouldn't your Technology provider understand your business and what moves you forward?

We are beyond honored to be named to the Inc. Magazine 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America. LinkedIn limits how much we can say in a post, and we're not sure how we would get out all of the thank you's that are deserved here, so we'll sum it up like this: Earlier this summer we made the Channel Futures MSP 501 list. We also made the Colorado Companies to Watch list. Now we're honored to be recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in America. It's humbling to look at where we started, how we've grown, and most importantly our team and our customers that helped get us here - you truly are our business partners in this. This recognition, just like the two before it, only fuel our fire and confirm that what we're doing for our partners works, and we're just getting started. How did we get here?

We did a thing! Technically we did a thing, the first thing, almost a year ago, but we're now doing the thing every week, so we're saying we did a thing. In the wake of the CrowdStrike outage 2 weeks ago, many businesses are wondering if they're prepared for problems beyond their control and how (or if) they remain operational. In this episode of Cover Your Assets Podcast we break it down into simple terms and give you ways you can move forward with thoughtful discussion around Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity, and Incident Planning.  Oh, and there's some analogies to crumbling bridges and Lindsay Lohan that alone are worth a listen. Thank you to James Abercrombie from Acronis and Matt Lee, CISSP, CCSP, CFR, PNPT from Pax8 for the real-world conversation and valuable insight.
