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:

  1. Train employees in security principles
  2. Protect information, computers, and networks from cyber attacks
  3. Provide firewall security for your Internet connection
  4. Create a mobile device action plan
  5. Create backup copies for any business data
  6. Control physical access to your computers and create user accounts for each employee
  7. Secure your Wi-Fi networks
  8. Employ best practices on payment cards
  9. Limit employee access to data and information & limit authority to install software
  10. 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.

The ClearFuze Total IT Solution: ClearONE

ClearONE is only available for ClearFuze clients. These all-encompassing, cost-efficient IT solutions are used to build a customized catalog directed at your immediate and long-term needs. Meet your business goals and enjoy 24/7 support, maintenance, connectivity and disaster recovery. 

Building a ClearONE plan begins with a comprehensive audit of your existing IT network infrastructure. Vulnerabilities are identified along with components requiring enhancement. Business goals and any new technologies your team is interested in can then be integrated into your workflow. 

Once the audit is complete, ClearFuze then provides an assessment of your current IT setup. This includes your IT infrastructure. We want to identify any potential limitations. Working with all of this information, we create an improvement plan that tackles processes currently in place. This plan focuses on:

Systems Management: 

Network and cloud infrastructure is managed and monitored constantly. All infrastructure meets industry standards and works seamlessly with your teams.

Desktop Support: 

One of our expert IT consultants is stationed in-house with your employees. This helps us respond in real time to any issues. Remote support is also provided in tandem — 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Cybersecurity and Disaster Recovery: 

Hackers don’t respond to 9-5 business hours. ClearONE security systems work around the clock, mitigating cyber attacks and other infrastructure threats. A customized disaster recovery plan helps with any glitches, outages or lags in your network or cloud infrastructure. Stop the loss of data and important documents.

Systems Design: 

Customized IT network solutions are crafted to meet your company’s needs. Hardware and software is selected to optimize your network and cloud infrastructure; not overload it.

Managed Backups: 

Systems backup solutions add extra layers of security over your highly sensitive data, keeping it safe at all times.
