Network Security for your Business
June 6th, 2017 by admin
You've probably heard about the massive ransomware attack that caught tens of thousands of computers unaware. WannaCry/WCry 2.0 took the data of its victims hostage, demanding bitcoins as ransom. While we've seen attacks like this from other malicious programs, including viruses, malware, and trojans, this time it was on a global scale. While it affected most industries, this was particularly bad for companies managing sensitive patient and financial data.
Before you get too worried - if you are protected by enterprise-level security systems, you are most likely already protected by secure firewalls and anti-virus software. Here at TOTLCOM, we are committed to protecting our customers from cyber threats with cyber security systems and firewalls. We actively monitor your network and our data centers for vulnerabilities. Our managed IT customers can expect this service for their entire communications system. Our engineers and systems proactively manage and report on your key security, maintenance, anti-virus, and anti-malware applications.
There are a few things you can do right away. We recommend quickly backing up your business data and encrypting sensitive information. Review your current security protocols and check whether your computers have the latest OS updates installed.
