Is your business safe in today’s all-out hacker war? is republished from Nimbus CS, Belfast

Computer security, backups and disaster recovery plans have never been more vital, as business IT and data become ever more lucrative targets for hackers. It doesn't matter what your company does, what data files you create, or how large the business: automated hacking tools are sweeping the web and common IT services for security weaknesses. Alternatively, they send out millions of business-related phishing emails and messages, just waiting for one member of staff to fall for them. Once compromised, your data can be electronically kidnapped and held for ransom, leaving your company with the choice of reverting to backups or paying a ransom, ranging from hundreds to millions of pounds depending on the size of the business. This is the growth threat trend of 2016, with many companies quietly paying up, rather than being publicly exposed, as many healthcare institutions, universities and private companies have been targeted. The stories that hit the front pages or reach business publications are only the tip of a very large iceberg, and no company is immune, unless it does everything by paper. To fight these threats, your company needs secure IT infrastructure, user training around digital threats, live backups of all company data and a disaster recovery plan for when things do go wrong. We at Nimbus CS offer networking solutions with the latest in antivirus, firewall and data protection systems. We can build a solution that fits your business, and will provide it with room to grow. We can also help you use the cloud for a range of hosted servers and services to reduce cost, and use their own cloud security for improved protection. These solutions along with cloud backups for remote storage of your data will help protect against most threats. But, if your company has been struck by malware, viruses, or is being flooded with phishing attacks, our business IT support can provide solutions and advice to fix the issues and help improve your IT security. We provide pay as you go, or tailored response options to fit your budget and ensure that your PC and IT systems remain up and running when you need them the most.
