Here is a great article that highlights some reasons why Data breaches increased last year. Here are the points that stood out: 1. Cloud Misconfiguration - For me, this does not shock me. Technology changes faster than you just read that sentence. 2. New Types of Ransomware - With advancements, hackers are utilizing new technology to exploit weaknesses (employees included) 3. Increased attacks on Vendor systems - Yep, this happens just as often as it does to the end company user. So what can you do as it seems impossible to stay ahead of the curve. Well, one thing I know is to have a conversation with a Managed Service company, even if you don't choose to speak with my team at Comcast Business, please speak with someone to ensure you are protected. I of course would love just to have the conversation to ensure you have info on all of your options to protect your company. #iworkforcomcast #databreachesarecostly #protectyourdata #protectyourcustomers #protectyouremployees

"The risk is high for a catastrophic ransomware attack". This report is from December and UK, but my own judgment is that we have pretty much the same situation here in the Nordics as well.   Recovering rapidly from ransomware is not a pure technology discussion. Of course we need a proper tech in place (isolated from production, cloud and internet), but also competent teams, practiced processes, and high leadership skills are key areas when we want to improve our cyber resilience. If you are interested in sharing thoughts about the topic, pls ping me a message and let's continue from there. #ransomwarerecovery #cyberresilience #iwork4dell

Meeting compliance used to mean passing quarterly or annual audits. That is no longer the case, with the new #nis2 and #dora regulations coming into effect, you need to be able to report on and disclosure any high-impact security event within hours. How are you addressing #activecloudrisk?

Greetings and Happy Cyber Monday! I'm Baron Wolt, President, and CoFounder of Technology Management Professionals (TMPros), your trusted IT Managed Service Provider since 2010. With over 30 years in IT, having managed IT Operations at 20th Century Fox and consulted for Microsoft and the US military, I've witnessed the incredible evolution of the internet. From the "Wild West" days of technology to today, it's been an amazing journey. However, this transformation has also given rise to sophisticated threats, turning cybercrime into a large and intricate business. The burning question we continually encounter: "Are we protected?" "Do we need the Super Dooper Spy Blocker 5000 with a six-figure price tag?" Protection is indeed crucial, but it doesn't have to break the bank. At a minimum, businesses should invest in a supported firewall, avoid unattended remote software, implement 2-factor authentication for email and wherever possible, and embrace Endpoint Protection and Response (EDR). Speaking of EDR, it's the pinnacle of endpoint protection, outclassing traditional antivirus solutions. With its AI-driven capabilities, EDR analyzes file changes, network behaviors, back-end scripting, and other often-overlooked factors. Unlike traditional antivirus software, EDR is not only more effective but also relatively low-cost, providing continuous protection whether you're in the office or on the go—an invaluable feature for all you road warriors out there. Ensure your business stays ahead of the cybersecurity curve! Contact us today for a personalized assessment of your security needs. Don't wait until it's too late—protect your assets and reputation now. Let TMPros be your shield in the digital realm. Wishing you a secure and successful December!

UK IT leaders are fast losing trust in the government to protect them from cybercriminals. 52% believe the government can’t defend its citizens and enterprises from cyber warfare, significantly less than 77% last year. Not too surprising when you think about all the turmoil the world is seeing nowadays. So, who can you trust to keep you safe online? Technocure, of course!
