What SMBs need to understand about cybersecurity

One of the first things to understand is–no matter how lucky or careful you are– cybersecurity breaches are bound to happen. You are, at any point in time, just one click away from getting your entire IT network or data compromised. While this truth is the same for both smaller and bigger organizations, as an SMB the impact on your business, revenue, and brand is likely to be far greater when compared to a bigger company.

Improving your business performance with outsourced IT

Outsourcing has become a fairly common element in business processes today. What started off as a means to cut business costs and take advantage of cheaper resources based offshore has now become an essential part of running a business today.

Small Business Networking

Effective technology is essential for small businesses looking to increase the productivity of their people and business. Introducing technology such as computer networks can help them to stay competitive by increasing productivity and by reducing hardware costs. Even simple networks make sharing information and resources easier, provide better security and enable easy backup facilities for any small businesses.

Managed IT Services for Small Businesses

For businesses in today’s high-tech society, Information Technology (IT) has become a significant consideration. Implementing new technology is a challenging job for business owners and can cause numerous difficulties in day-to-day operations. Many small to medium-size businesses are finding Managed IT Services as a solution to get the most from their IT investment.

Small Business Mobility

Mobile technology is becoming increasingly vital to your small business as the number of employees working from home or away from office is growing significantly. More than 50 million US workers are considered mobile, spending at least 20% of the time away from their primary workspace. Some of your employees, such as your salespeople or representatives, may be constantly on the move.

VoIP for the Small Business

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has become a viable solution for even the smallest of companies as broadband internet access has become affordable and much more widespread. VoIP offers a low cost alternative to expensive traditional phone services, and is rapidly becoming the communications system of choice to reduce telecommunications costs. Hosted VoIP services are also gaining popularity among smaller companies since these services do not require any investment in hardware.

Web Collaboration

In today’s global business environment, the value of working together, or collaboration, can have a huge positive impact on your business. Your employees and teams need to work together, and share ideas and information across geographic boundaries. For a small business such as yours, effective collaboration is essential to improving productivity by empowering your employees to communicate and work more efficiently using the right communications tools.

Outsourced IT

The relationship between small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and Information Technology (IT) can often be described as a ‘love/hate’ relationship. You absolutely rely on technology to help your business run efficiently, but IT is most likely not one of your core competencies – and just keeping your systems running can be a major undertaking that distracts you from business-building activities.

Customer Data Protection

With so much information floating around out there, your business is at serious risk if you aren’t properly protecting sensitive information and data. Thieves are now using both low and high-tech methods to steal critical business data and personal information. For the safety of your company, your employees and your customers, you need total protection for compliance, security and peace of mind. A comprehensive data protection plan isn’t just about technology anymore – it should also include access limitations for employees, training and the implementation of privacy policies for complete defense against all that’s out there.
