Good evening, Reno! This is Kendra Evans reporting live from downtown. Tonight, we’re diving deep into the world of cybersecurity with Scott Morris, a local IT specialist and the owner of Reno Computer Services. Scott, thanks for joining us.
“Happy to be here, Kendra,” says Scott, leaning back in his chair.
Cybersecurity
Scott, let’s get right into it. What are the biggest cybersecurity threats facing small businesses here in Reno?
“That’s a great question, Kendra. Small businesses often think they’re too small to be targets, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, according to Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses. The most common threats we see are phishing emails, ransomware attacks, and malware infections.”
Phish Protection
Phishing emails can be incredibly deceiving, Kendra. Ordinarily, they look just like legitimate messages from banks or other trusted organizations. Consequently, employees might click on malicious links or open infected attachments without realizing the danger.
I remember one time a client nearly lost thousands of dollars because an employee clicked on a phishing link that looked like it came from their bank. Luckily, we were able to catch it in time and prevent any financial loss.
Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution
So what can small businesses do to protect themselves?
“There are several steps they can take, Kendra,” Scott explains. “First and foremost, they need to invest in a robust backup and disaster recovery solution. This will ensure that their data is safe even if their systems are compromised.”
- Regularly back up all critical data.
- Test your backups to make sure they’re working properly.
- Have a plan in place for recovering data in the event of an attack.
Data Security
Moreover, businesses should implement strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and employee training on cybersecurity best practices. Remember, Kendra, your employees are often your first line of defense against cyberattacks.”
“That’s right,” I say. “And it sounds like Reno Computer Services can help businesses with all of these things.”
Data Migration
Scott nods. “We offer a wide range of cybersecurity services, including data migration to secure cloud platforms, penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities, and ongoing security monitoring.”
Notwithstanding the fact that cybersecurity can seem daunting, taking proactive steps can make a world of difference in protecting your business.
