Attention Small Business Owners - this can happen to you!

I’m sharing this client experience to raise awareness about the need to protect your business from cyber-attacks, natural disasters and human error.

We recently acquired a client who was doing their own IT work and thought they lost their data due to a ransomware attack. The ransomware attack corrupted data in all the computers and servers on their network. Fortunately, we able to partially restore data from an external hard drive that wasn’t connected during the attack. However, the restored data was more than a year old because the low-end backup system wasn’t running properly.

In essence, the client's business was down for almost a month, they lost thousands of dollars, lost their most recent year of critical client data, and lost many of their larger clients because of the ransomware attack. A company in business for over 20 years almost closed their doors because of not having the right solution in place.

In today's age, all businesses are in some way connected to the internet (and depend on it too), whether you are a retail store, coffee shop, doctor's office, hotel, office, etc. If you are connected to the internet, you need protection, a plan to keep your business running in case of disaster and professionals monitoring & supporting your business. 

Cyber-criminals target small businesses at a higher rate because they know there is usually no IT personnel monitoring and running maintenance. We are here to put an end to that by working with you and setting your business up with affordable, customized solutions that meet all your business needs.
