In today’s digital world, the terms “IT” and “cyber security” are often used interchangeably. While IT focuses on managing and maintaining technology infrastructure and systems, cyber security deals with protecting those systems from potential cyber threats and attacks. Don’t be fooled into thinking your IT company is providing Cyber Security.
Many people mistakenly believe that IT and cybersecurity are the same, but they serve very different roles. IT manages technology infrastructure, while cybersecurity is focused on protecting it from threats. At my previous job at NPI, we were IT professionals, not cybersecurity experts, and this confusion can leave businesses vulnerable. Misconfigured or wrongly licensed solutions can create serious security gaps, which is why a solid cybersecurity posture is essential—think 24/7 monitoring, SOC, SIEM, compliance, training, and testing. In the event of an incident, businesses need a tested response plan, including backup and recovery systems, a run book, and a clear action strategy. Have you tested your incident plan to ensure it works? And when it comes to selecting security vendors, relying on Google may not be enough—there’s a smarter way to choose the best fit for your business.
One of the most common misconceptions in the business world is that having a strong IT team is enough for effective cyber security. Misconfigured solutions, such as licensed software, can leave organizations vulnerable to cyber attacks and breaches. And criminals laugh all the way to the bank holding hostage your business data.
Proper cyber security measures, such as 24/7 monitoring, compliance regulations, regular training and testing, back-up and recovery systems, and an incident response plan, are critical for protecting businesses from cyber threats.
1. A company was hit by ransom and contacted James through a partner, and within two hours of the contact he had the company in contact with an incident responder who assisted in negotiating the ransom and the recovery of their data.
2. James worked over four calls with a brand new CIO and helped create a 18 month roadmap for a digital upgrade and consolidation of current tool sets to save them money and reduce their text sprawl.
3. James had a company with over 900 locations and were in acquisition phase to acquire more but were having difficulty acquiring new stacks of equipment with each acquisition. James was able to help this customer convert to an SASE Model that allowed his entire text stack to be created in the cloud and cloned as new acquisitions were brought on board.
4. James had a one hour consultation with a large customer in which we reviewed his entire tech stack and discussed his plans for future technical purchases. James was able to provide him with solid information and evidence to steer him in the direction of certain technologies based upon location of some of the acquisitions as they were outside the United States. We were able to get him support in Europe as well as Asia.
5. James assisted a customer in reviewing their current MSP contract to determine gaps or areas in which the customer was not covered. We were able to determine that their firewalls were managed, but not monitored and we were able to sign them up with a 24 seven monitoring system to identify and respond to future threats.
