Hi Small Business Owners, welcome to this edition of "Lies they Believe", and "The Truths, I Know"
In this video we'll uncover another common cybersecurity misconception I hear when I speak to Small Business Owners.
"Number 8 - Darryl - My friend is an IT Guru, he's great with tech stuff, he makes sure we are safe, and we only have to pay him when things break!"
But you see, that just is not the truth. The TRUTH IS, if You're waiting for something to break, and YOU are the one to call him, YOU are very likely one bad click away, from a security incident.
You see, every time we conduct a cybersecurity risk assessment for folks who say this, over 98% of the time we find major security issues that require immediate attention.
It is not because the friend or IT guru was being malicious, it is because no one person can have oversight on your IT systems 24hrs a day.
This is because your Guru is only human. He is going to go on holidays, get sick, or be occupied with his full-time job.
For your IT systems to be properly secured and protected, it requires multiple areas of IT discipline, constant training on evolving threats and best practices, and frankly, no one person can manage this alone, AND do their full-time day job.
If your company is relying on a single person to manage everything, that resource is highly likely slow to respond, fall behind, feel overwhelmed and unable to keep pace with evolving cyber threats.
Folks, this is THE PERFECT recipe for a security incident to take place.
Folks, don’t be a victim of a cyber attack. For more cybersecurity tips and best practices, visit our BLOG - or - CONTACT US for a complementary Cybersecurity Risk Assessment TODAY.
