Similar to personal resolutions, businesses should also set goals for the coming 12 months. Now is a great time to revaluate your everyday IT practices and policies and think of how you can improve in 2021. To get you started, we’ve come up with 5 low-cost, highly effective things you should invest in the New Year.
- Cybersecurity Awareness Training – Starts at $5/Month/User
Did you know 95% of all attacks on enterprise networks are the result of successful phishing emails? Of these 95%, only 3% will report these phishing emails to management. Training consists of baseline testing, followed by simulated phishing attacks to staff. Results are reported, so you know who is clicking on suspicious links and you can train accordingly.
- Email Security – Starts at $5/Month/User
Email Security blocks 99% of unwanted mail and malware, keeping your inbox clean and your networks safe. Spam and viruses are stopped before they can ever reach your inbox or servers. The cost for this service is minimal, yet highly effective in preventing a security breach.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Free
From both a personal and a business perspective, 2FA is something you should do immediately. Have staff set up cell phones as a second factor, receiving a text with an access code every time they log into a secure account. If an attacker steals a password, they can’t use it unless they have the employee’s cell phone and know the PIN.

From taking the pulse of your data and network security to analyzing your overall IT operations, we’ll show you where you’re ahead…and where the risks reside.
