How proactive monitoring will help your business weather any storm
You’re the captain of your own ship and have an excellent crew, you are prepared for anything! Or so you thought. Then one day, out of the blue, a massive digital kraken tentacled its way into your ship’s systems, causing havoc. What you needed was a vigilant lookout, alert for any small sign of danger. This is the difference between being proactive about monitoring your business’s systems, or reactive. We all know that prevention is better than cure. Our latest guide explains everything you need to know about proactive monitoring for your business.
Secure Your Data Under Lock And Key
The data in your business is invaluable. Without it you wouldn’t have much of a business left, would you? So that data must be kept safe… and one of the best ways to do that is to encrypt it. That way, even if a cyber criminal gets their hands on it, your data is worthless to them. Our latest guide explains everything you need to know about encryption, and why it’s something you should implement straight away.
Why you’re better in a contract with your IT company
What happens when your business suffers an IT issue? A break/fix relationship with your provider (that’s where you only call them when there’s a problem), can mean unexpected costs and delays. Whilst break/fix is a solution that works perfectly well for some businesses, having a contract with your IT partner gives you peace of mind. Knowing your business will take priority if an issue arises. In fact, with a contracted IT partner you may not even know there’s been a problem… thanks to proactive monitoring, the issue may have been spotted and fixed before it affected anyone. In our latest guide we talk about break/fix vs contracted IT support, and the benefits for your business.
