Social Media Reminders
Sloppy social media habits can lead to a compromise that extends beyond an individual’s personal account. Many people don’t realize that their login credentials tie them together with an invisible thread in the dark web. A hacked social account could lead to access to business credentials or more.
Hackers 101
Being in IT, you’re familiar with the various ways that hackers work to gain trust. That trust innocently leads to providing information that an individual deems irrelevant, but is not. It could be the one missing answer to a question that provides access to a password. Let’s take a quick look at the different ways that data can be unsuspectingly compromised.
Secure Your Social Media with Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Our recent launch of the Baseline Employee Cybersecurity Assessment provides MSPs with a new tool to add to their prospecting and baseline risk detection efforts. As an MSP, it gives you the opportunity to show prospects and clients that human security plays a key role in protecting their organization and that without proper ongoing training, employees are an easy entry point for cybercriminals.
While a security risk assessment will identify gaps in a business environment, the human element should never be overlooked or assumed to be foolproof.
Marketing Magic
Marketing Magic
Having an in-house marketing team is not always possible for small businesses. Also, it can be difficult to maintain an ever-growing and ever-changing list of vendors and products to market.
As a Managed Service Provider you face the struggle of not only supporting your clients full time but also carrying the full-time weight of being a business owner. This can leave little time – or headcount – for a marketing department that is hitting on all of the needs you require to get leads, maintain clients, and educate yourself on what is new to you as a managed service provider.
Hackers Using Social Profiles
Facebook Status: Away on Vacation
Social media is great for a lot of things. Sharing photos, reconnecting with old friends, finding like-minded people and groups to share ideas and hobbies. But when does sharing become oversharing?
Hackers gain access to your personal data via your profile and the information you share there – and you don’t even realize it’s happening. Photos with your children and pets with identifying names on them, locations of where you’ve been, or where you are currently on vacation.
Social Media Security Tips
Social media allows you to stay connected to people that you don’t get to see all of the time, and for that, it is a great thing. Family photos are easily shared, groups of like-minded people are able to gather together and share thoughts and ideas, and events are marketed to the masses for better visibility.
