Good evening, Reno! I’m Tiffany Jones reporting live from our studio here in the heart of Reno. Today, we’re joined by Scott Morris, a renowned IT specialist with Reno Computer Services (RCS). Scott, thanks for joining us tonight.
Cyber Security
Scott, data security is a major concern for businesses these days, especially with the rise in cyberattacks. What steps can businesses in Reno take to protect their sensitive information?
“Tiffany, you’re absolutely right. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and it’s crucial for businesses of all sizes to prioritize cybersecurity. Ordinarily, I recommend a multi-layered approach. This includes strong passwords, regular software updates, employee training on identifying phishing scams, and investing in robust antivirus and firewall solutions.”
Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution
“Moreover, having a reliable backup and disaster recovery plan is essential. Imagine this: your business suffers a major data breach or system failure. Without backups, you could lose critical information and face significant downtime, potentially crippling your operations. Consequently, implementing a system that regularly backs up your data to a secure offsite location can be a lifesaver.”
Data Security
“Conversely, not all data is created equal. Businesses need to understand what data they hold, classify its sensitivity, and implement appropriate security measures accordingly. For instance, customer payment information requires a higher level of protection than internal memos. We recently helped a local restaurant secure their online ordering system after a near-miss with a phishing attack. They were incredibly grateful we could help them avoid a potentially disastrous situation.”
“According to a 2023 report by Verizon, 45% of data breaches involved phishing attacks,” Scott shared, highlighting the ever-present threat. “Phishing emails can appear deceptively legitimate and trick employees into revealing sensitive information. Investing in anti-phishing software and training your staff to identify suspicious emails is crucial.”
Data Storage
“Ultimately, choosing the right data storage solution depends on your business needs. Cloud-based storage offers scalability and accessibility but requires careful consideration of security protocols. On-premise solutions provide more control but can be costly to maintain.”
