Cyber Security, IT and Network Support for Los Angeles Companies
Los Angeles businesses of all sizes require strong cyber security, IT and network security protection. Without a robust plan in place, you’re left vulnerable to evolving threats. Data breaches, phishing, ransomware, hackers, are all potential dangers for a growing company. Another ever-present threat is your own employees. A weak password or a click on a rogue link can cost your business millions.
Cyber security threats are growing, not falling, for small businesses. A recent U.S. Small Business Association survey shows that 88 percent of small business owners felt their business was vulnerable to a cyber attack. The cost of cybercrimes hit $2.7 billion in 2020 according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Report.
When you hear these statistics, is this your reaction?
“But, my business is way too small to target!”
“I’m not collecting data that anyone could want or use…”
“We use strong passwords, so we’re fine!”
The truth is, no business is too small. Small businesses continue to account for the majority of data breaches! The average cost of an attack is $3 million dollars. Is that an amount your enterprise can afford?
The FCC offers these ten crucial cyber security tips for small businesses. ClearFuze is one of the few IT and network security organizations offering education and training for every one of these principles:
- Train employees in security principles
- Protect information, computers, and networks from cyber attacks
- Provide firewall security for your Internet connection
- Create a mobile device action plan
- Create backup copies for any business data
- Control physical access to your computers and create user accounts for each employee
- Secure your Wi-Fi networks
- Employ best practices on payment cards
- Limit employee access to data and information & limit authority to install software
- Passwords and authentication
Cyber Security, IT and Network Protections Offered By ClearFuze
Ransomware
ClearFuze provides ransomware protection by providing crucial application monitoring, backups for important files, anti-malware software and solid user training. The best ransomware protection is proactive; not in response to active security threats. Get ahead of the problem before it can strike.Phishing
Phishing attempts are ever-present in our lives. We receive them constantly through text, email and social media. ClearFuze anti-phishing solutions include email security protections to keep rogue links and unknown emails from coming through.Employee Training
Any business’s best defense is smart, empowered employees. This is true whether your staff works in a hospital, an attorney’s office, an architecture firm, or a talent agency. We train your staff to recognize phishing and ransomware attacks immediately. Arm them with awareness and partner them with IT experts from ClearFuze so that they’re never at risk.Endpoint Encryption
Endpoint encryption blocks unauthorized users from accessing your data. It does this through the monitoring and blocking of risky and malicious activities. Encryption keeps the thief from getting any value from data intercepted in flight.Cloud Authentication
A business brought under the ClearONE umbrella has firewalls, switches and wireless access points strengthened with ClearFuze cloud-managed equipment. Even if every member of your team currently works outside of the office or from a remote location, cloud authentication still protects them, wherever they are.Gateway Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
IDS components are placed on every employee workstation. Its protections are triggered for any malicious activity or violation, no matter the location of the workstation. A report is generated so that ClearFuze experts can take immediate action.Patch Management Solution
So often, businesses acquire the correct software but do not keep it up to date. Patch management ensures software updates are distributed and applied appropriately. This eliminates any potential bugs or vulnerabilities — and we do all of the legwork for you.Domain Name System (DNS) Filtering Service
As with the other security measures listed here, the ClearFuze DNS filtering service runs on every workstation associated with your company. Phishing and ransomware are stopped in their tracks. Reports are generated due to any unusual or suspicious activity.Password Security (IDS)
ClearONE maintains a centralized password management solution. All of your employees will go through basic training — which includes instructions on how to utilize a single sign-on setup for their workstations and equipment. No more vulnerable “QWERTY1234” passwords and leaving your proprietary data at risk! Management will also be given access to a password vault.Remote Workstation Locking
On vacation on another continent, but want to ensure your workstation is safe? Remote locking enables action from thousands of miles away, if needed.
