Properly maintained cybersecurity is imperative for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re an enterprise corporation or a mom-and-pop shop, as long as you use the internet, you and your business are susceptible to being hacked. Hackers can not only access your business’s financial information, but your customers’ as well. Even if your company has its own IT department, many businesses do not focus their technology on cybersecurity. According to a recent survey, 75% of IT professionals admitted they did not have a formal cybersecurity response plan at the company they work for; 66% weren’t confident in their company’s ability to recover from a cybersecurity attack. Our IT Nerds make cyber security a top priority for all of our clients, including schools, government agencies, car dealerships, and other small-to-medium businesses. We also provide large corporations with supplemental IT security support as well. We are constantly researching the latest news and information about hacks, IT security, government standards, and more, so that we can provide our clients with the latest in cyber security solutions. The National Institute of Standards and Technology is frequently releasing updated guidelines in risk assessment that requires continuous monitoring. There are also many different elements to cybersecurity that we keep in mind when offering our IT solutions, while many other information technology companies just focus on one or two elements. Application security, operation security, disaster recovery, end-user education/training, information security, and network security are the main factors that we keep in mind when providing cyber security solutions to our clients. However, we understand that every business is different and may requires certain components, such as certifications or HIPAA compliance. At Nerd Crossing, we provide the San Francisco Bay Area with diligently constructed cybersecurity solution packages. For more information on how we can help your business or nonprofit, or to receive a free cybersecurity consultation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
