Partnerships We Love: Breach Secure Now and Inskyber
We take thee for better or for worse, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health…we will be there for you in your time of need…. ah, the familiar words we hear as two parties engage at the beginning of their road together. You’re in it together and promise to stand by each other when the going gets…well, not so good.
And what better partnership for when the going gets tough, than to have a good insurance provider? That’s why we love Inskyber.
Cyber Insurance
As an adult, it is likely that you’re at least carrying one insurance policy. Life, renters, auto, home…. In fact, it is very likely that you have multiple policies that provide coverage for each and every aspect of your life. This coverage continues beyond your “stuff” and into your well-being with health insurance. While needed to take care of the everyday doctor visits and prescriptions, it becomes essential when faced with catastrophic events that result in huge medical bills. Unfortunately, these are the events that are unexpected, and have rendered many uninsured individuals into bankruptcy as a result of lack of coverage.
Before & After
Imagine if you had two emails that were worth a million dollars each. You would do everything that you can to protect those emails and ensure that no one deleted them. You would back them up, have multiple copies in place so that if you lost those emails, you would have a quick way to recover them. You would make sure that access was limited, with strong password protection, and everyone who had access to the delete button was properly trained on how to open and read the emails safely.
A New Kind of Cyber Threat to MSPs
There is a rise in awareness with small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) of the threat to their cybersecurity. The problem is, it causes a subsequent rise in a risk factor to Managed Service Providers (MSPs). That risk is of them losing their business.
Why Cyber Insurance?
Filing and Smiling
When is the last time that you filed a piece of paper?
It used to be that a file cabinet was like your personal bank vault – holding the papers that defined and valued a business. From employee records to bank statements, that file cabinet had everything necessary to keep things humming along. Each drawer’s value was dependent on the information that it contained within.
The Real Cost of Cybercrime
What happens if your computer systems are hacked with ransomware?
I think I’m covered by my insurance policy for that…(pause)…you scramble and try to find your policy documentation.
It’s here somewhere. I’m sure I’m covered…I mean, I think we’re covered. I better make sure.
You email your insurance agent…wait for the declaration page. Try to sort it out line by line.
These Numbers Don’t Add Up
If you are management, and your employee came to you with a proposal, you’d likely (hopefully) listen.
What if that employee proposed to you that by keeping business as is, you’d likely lose millions of dollars – and possibly go under? But if you made one small change, you’d increase your odds of staying in business and actually thriving throughout the years – would you listen? I bet you would. I know I would.
Here’s a Tip: Get a Head Start Before the Competition
Tip-Off
You know how certain people seemed to have a way of predicting the future? They were ahead of the curve if you want to call it that… those who “got in on a good thing” before anyone else seemed to be aware?
Consider this your lucky day, because we’re going to let you in on a secret.
The Future Is Here
Sunday funnies
Remember the Jetsons? Robots that cleaned, food choices you tapped into a computer for preparation…moving sidewalks? Flying cars aside, we aren’t too far off from the technology that seemed so unlikely and impossible. The future – it’s here.
MSPs: Defending Yourself from Data Breach Lawsuits
In the mistaken belief that their companies are not big enough to attract data thieves, small and midsize businesses notoriously resist tightening their IT security, ranking it as a low priority. Yet, when those same SMBs experience a data breach, they sometimes point the finger at their MSPs. Worse, they may file lawsuits and haul their providers into court to recoup financial losses from the breach.
