Most small and medium-sized companies will tell you that they are concerned about cyber security, data breaches, and cyber attacks that can destroy not only a company’s finances, but their reputation and the trust of their customers and clients.
Agile Business Systems, a Pittsburgh-based IT support and security firm, understands these concerns. Their company, based in Upper St. Clair, supports small and mid-sized businesses that rely on their computers, network, and Internet for daily operations. Agile provides managed services, network security, and data backups and recovery to companies, while also offering scalable IT and security training.
“While technology provides benefits to many businesses that have enabled them to grow, it has also become a threat. Unfortunately, cyber criminals usually concentrate on smaller businesses because they are often much easier to exploit. To deter cyberattacks and cyber threats, it is crucial that businesses have well-trained, security-savvy employees. They are what I call ‘human firewalls’ – they are your company’s best resource and your first line of protection. Your systems are only as secure as the people who use them, and we specialize in end-user training to help ensure that your company is protected,” said Matt Weaver, president of Agile Business Systems and co-author of the book Sitting Duck: Why Your Business Is a Cybercriminal’s Ideal Target.
Agile Business Systems helps to protect their clients and their companies, and offer steps that they guide each business through, including training employees to protect sensitive data, protecting a company’s network and devices, securing physical space, limiting where sensitive data resides, and properly disposing of devices, equipment, and paper records.
Cyber criminals often think that smaller businesses are easy targets because so many of them have gotten by on relaxed or non-existent security policies for year. As hackers get more sophisticated in their methods – and as technology continues to change and become more complex – business owners should make sure that their company’s data and network security becomes an essential part of their business. Agile Business Systems can help – not only with software and hardware upgrades, but with comprehensive employee training programs.
“Call or contact us – don’t wait until another malicious threat appears. We can help keep your company and your data safe,” Matt suggests.
