Good evening Reno, and welcome back to “Tech Talk.” Tonight, I’m sitting down with Scott Morris, the IT Specialist here at Reno Computer Services (RCS), a company dedicated to helping small and medium-sized businesses thrive in our digital age. Scott, thanks for joining us.
Cybersecurity
“Thanks for having me,” replies Scott. “Cybersecurity is a hot topic these days, and for good reason. Small businesses are often prime targets for cybercriminals because they may lack the robust security measures that larger corporations have in place.” He pauses, reflecting for a moment.
“I remember one instance where a local bakery was hit with ransomware. They couldn’t access their files or systems until they paid a hefty sum to the attackers. It was devastating for them – not only did they lose valuable time and money, but their customers were also affected.”
Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution
“That’s why having a solid backup and disaster recovery solution is crucial,” Scott emphasizes. “It’s like insurance for your business data. In the event of a cyberattack, natural disaster, or even accidental deletion, you can quickly restore your systems and minimize downtime.”
According to a recent study by the Ponemon Institute, 91% of organizations that experienced a ransomware attack said they couldn’t fully recover their data, highlighting the importance of robust backup solutions. Consequently, Scott recommends implementing both on-site and off-site backups for added security.
Phish Protection
Scott further explains, “Another critical aspect is phishing protection.” He describes how these scams often involve deceptive emails that try to trick users into revealing sensitive information like passwords or credit card details. “Training your employees to recognize and avoid phishing attempts is essential.”
Moreover, Scott suggests implementing email filtering tools that can automatically detect and block suspicious messages. “Think of it as a digital bouncer at the door of your inbox,” he says with a smile.
“Ultimately,” Scott concludes, “protecting your business from cyberattacks requires a multi-layered approach. By combining strong cybersecurity practices, robust backup solutions, and employee training, you can significantly reduce your risk and keep your business running smoothly.”
