Cybercriminals often use phishing emails and other security breaches to break into a business’s network but some companies overlook one area in a business when it comes to ransomware attacks: inactive accounts. Cybercriminals leverage inactive or ghost staff accounts to enter a company’s network when businesses do not maintain their databases.

Every cloud provider says they’re secure, but how do you really know that they are? Well, here at Tabush Group, we know we are secure, and we’re proud to tell you why.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer for firms allocating resources for IT solutions.

As the COVID-19 pandemic stay-at-home restrictions loosen, people have begun to venture back into offices, schools, and other public places.  The pandemic created many challenges for businesses as they begin to return, such as social distancing within the office, employee health, and cybersecurity.  Cybersecurity is very important to factor into your return because it is very easy for bad actors to take advantage of people who are distracted by these many changes brought about by the pandemic.

It comes as no surprise that firms are extremely concerned about the security of their data.  How do you prevent unauthorized access to your data and applications?  How do you protect your firm’s data assets from natural disasters or other scenarios that would prevent you from getting to your office?

A disaster in the IT world comes in many forms – natural disasters, ransomware, a cyber breach, and acts of terrorism, just to name a few.  These disasters disrupt normal business and can ultimately have severe and expensive consequences on a company’s reputation and bottom line.

The bad news is many companies think these disasters can never happen to them and don’t take the proper precautions; the good news is that prevention of many disasters is attainable, and planning ensures that when there is a disaster, your company is prepared to get back to business as usual.

There is an increase in the frequency and efficacy of data breaches that can bring a firm’s operations to a standstill. Data breaches are often the result of vulnerable hardware and software where security measures may be weak or out of date, presenting an opportunity to hackers and ransomware. Far too often, businesses do not realize they are victims of breaches for days or even weeks, and by then, there is often nothing that can be done to repair the damage.
