Bolster your vigilance with technology and expertise

A little over a month ago, I wrote about how being vigilant wasn’t going to be enough to stay safe on the internet. Don’t get me wrong, being vigilant about technology safety is a base-level requirement, like understanding elemental concepts like “fire hot” and “that scorpion is dangerous”. But knowing you need to be careful and exerting the discipline and training to actually be safe are miles apart in execution. In case you haven’t heard my analogy before, internet security is likely juggling dozens of plates while hackers continually toss more plates into your hands. They win when you drop even one plate, and they have an endless supply of plates and patience while they wait for you to lose focus. But what if you could add some robot arms to your juggling act?

We can all use an extra hand (or two) these days

At one point, it was possible for a normal human being to self-manage their business technology. Many business owners saw it as a rite of passage in securing their own domain name, spinning up a website and email boxes for all their employees, while simultaneously ordering a bunch of computers in black-and-white boxes. You could buy and install virus and spam protection from a friendly nerd named Norton and it did the trick. All was (relatively) well until the internet connected everything and hackers discovered that cybercrime was profitable. Hugely profitable. They upgraded quietly while the rest of the world marched on oblivious, starting an arms race in which our self-built technology infrastructure was outpaced before we even know there was a race. While you were busy running a business (and not a never-ending technology upgrade parade), they were running their own business of dismantling or bypassing your rapidly aging technology security.

Unfortunately, the insurance companies see this, and are now recommending or requiring all companies big and small to use advanced security tools that even the large enterprises with dedicated IT staff are only now adopting. But here’s where you have the advantage in this juggling act: big companies need a lot more robot arms than you do to keep all those plates in the air but, as always, there’s a catch: you still need some robot arms and implementing them isn’t as simple has mail-ordering some parts in a Holstein-colored box. Today’s new security technologies are complicated like you might imagine robot arms to be, and even worse, if you install or use them incorrectly, the insurance companies might even deny your claims. But you have this covered because you are partners with C2, right? Call us and ask about our new security bundle for small businesses – let’s add some robot arms to your juggling act!
