Good evening, Reno. I’m Brenda Thompson reporting live from the heart of our city. Tonight, we’re talking about a crucial topic for every business owner: adaptable cybersecurity best practices.
Joining me is Scott Morris, IT Specialist with Reno Computer Services (RCS). Scott, thanks for taking the time to speak with us tonight.
Cyber Security
“Brenda, it’s my pleasure. Cybersecurity isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution,” explains Scott. “Just like we adapt our wardrobes for different seasons, businesses need adaptable cybersecurity practices to counter constantly evolving threats.”
He goes on to share, “Last year, I helped a local bakery implement multi-factor authentication after they experienced a phishing attempt targeting their online ordering system. Ordinarily, they thought strong passwords were enough. But we showed them how easily those could be compromised and implemented MFA as an extra layer of security.”
Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution
“Speaking of evolving threats,” Scott continues, “every business should have a robust backup and disaster recovery solution in place. Imagine this: your entire customer database gets encrypted by ransomware. Consequently, without backups, you’re left with a standstill, potentially losing valuable data and customer trust.”
He recommends cloud-based backups for their accessibility and scalability, allowing businesses to recover quickly from unforeseen disasters. “Notwithstanding the initial investment,” Scott reassures, “a reliable backup solution is far less costly than the potential damage caused by data loss.”
Data Security
“Data security is paramount in today’s digital landscape,” emphasizes Scott. “Businesses must prioritize protecting sensitive customer information, whether it’s credit card details or personal addresses.”
He suggests implementing strong encryption protocols and access controls to prevent unauthorized access. According to a recent study by the Ponemon Institute, the average cost of a data breach in 2022 was $4.35 million. A sobering statistic that highlights the importance of robust data security measures.
“Remember,” concludes Scott, “cybersecurity is an ongoing process, not a one-time fix. By partnering with a trusted IT provider like Reno Computer Services and adopting adaptable best practices, businesses can fortify their defenses and thrive in our increasingly digital world.”
