Good evening, Reno! This is Jessica Lee reporting live from our downtown studio. Tonight, we’re talking about a topic crucial to every business in our community: data security. To help us understand the ins and outs of keeping sensitive information safe, I spoke with Scott Morris, IT Specialist at Reno Computer Services.
Cyber Security
Scott, thank you for joining me. We all hear about cyberattacks in the news, but many small businesses think it won’t happen to them. What would you say to those business owners?
“That’s a common misconception,” Scott said. “Small businesses are actually prime targets for hackers because they often have fewer resources dedicated to cybersecurity. Just last year, a study by Verizon found that 43% of cyberattacks targeted small businesses.”
Data Security
Wow, that’s alarming! So what can businesses do to protect themselves?
“There are several key steps,” Scott explained. “First and foremost is implementing strong passwords and multi-factor authentication. It’s also crucial to keep software updated with the latest security patches. Moreover, regularly backing up data is essential in case of a ransomware attack.”
Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution
You mentioned ransomware – that seems like a real nightmare scenario for any business owner. Can you tell us more about disaster recovery?
“Absolutely. A comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solution is vital,” Scott emphasized. “It ensures that even if your systems are compromised, you can quickly restore your data and minimize downtime. I remember one client who experienced a server crash due to a power outage. Thankfully, they had a solid backup plan in place, and we were able to get them back up and running within hours.”
Data Storage
That’s reassuring to know. Are there different types of data storage solutions available?
“Yes, there are various options depending on a business’s needs,” Scott said. “Cloud storage is becoming increasingly popular due to its scalability and accessibility. However, on-premises storage still has its place for businesses with specific compliance requirements or who prefer to have complete control over their data.”
Scott, this has been incredibly insightful. Thank you for sharing your expertise with our viewers.
For any Reno business looking to safeguard its most valuable asset – its data – I encourage you to reach out to Scott Morris and the team at Reno Computer Services. They’re dedicated to providing tailored solutions that will give you peace of mind, knowing your information is in the safest hands possible.
