Protect your business from Cyber Extortion

Phishing, social engineering and web-based attacks top the list of cybersecurity threats specifically targeting SMBs. These threats are largely facilitated by:

  • Un-monitored and unsecured endpoint devices, especially laptops, mobile devices and IoT technology in a “bring your own device” workplace
  • Weak passwords for user accounts
  • Sharing information with third parties without a comprehensive data inventory
  • Negligent employee and contractor behavior

Fortunately, you can mitigate the risks and vulnerabilities to your enterprise by implementing a strong security plan for small business infrastructure.

To carry out your own plan, first, identify the main cybersecurity threats that your company currently faces. ITRemedy is committed to help Small Businesses quantify and prioritize the threat landscape and create a sustainable cyber security strategy.
