When most IT service providers talk to you about ransomware prevention and recovery, they focus on how you can get your data back and how quickly you can get your business up and running.  This approach, however, is too narrow. Cyber crime is more than ransomware and most every type of cyber crime involves some form of identity theft. 

Cyber Attacks and Data Breaches are Business Crises, Not Just a Data Problem.

In this Coffee & Clouds minicast, we will take a brief look at the threat vectors. With this jumping off point, we will examine the services and resources you need to ensure your business recovers and survives an attack. Beyond data recovery, we will explore the forensics, legal, public relations, and customer service implications, and will discuss resources available to assist with the business, as well as technical, recovery.

Your employees are using their business email address to log into other services. While employees typically use their work email as a login for work related accounts and services, they may be using their work email to access personal apps and services. These accounts span social media platforms, productivity apps, data sharing services, and other tools.

Even if these services are work-related, your employees are putting your business at risk.

Studies show that between 40% and 70% of employees use identical or similar passwords for multiple logins. Breaches, such as those from Dropbox and Uber, expose your employee’s identities.

In this Coffee & Clouds minicast, we look at the scope of identity theft and advanced threats to your business. In addition to discussing methods for protecting your company, we will take a look at how identities are brokered on the Dark Web and how monitoring your domain for breached identities can protect your business.

Office 365 is much more than “Office running in the cloud”. Office 365 is a robust suite of integrated communication, collaboration and business tools.

In this Coffee & Clouds minicast, we will discuss and demo several tools and apps in Office 365 that you have not seen in your desktop Office suite.

A recent survey by cloud security firm BetterCloud found that by 2020, almost 50% of small and midsize businesses will run their business 100% “in the cloud”, up from 15% in 2016. Moving to the cloud makes sense for most small businesses and communications, collaboration, and productivity tools are the logical first step.

But should you choose G Suite (Google Apps) or Microsoft Office 365?

In this Coffee & Clouds session, we look at how to evaluate if G Suite or Office 365 will best meet your business needs. In this session, we explore how your employees, line of business systems, mobility needs, security and privacy requirements, and operating practices will guide your decision.

For most small and midsize businesses (SMBs), entry into the cloud begins with email. You can, however, benefit from looking beyond email to the productivity and collaboration of the G Suite (Google Apps) and Office 365 suites. Both solutions enable your business and empower your team to do more and do better.

In this Coffee & Clouds session, we look at key differentiating features of G Suite and Office 365 beyond email, calendars, and contacts. The objective of this session is to offer a view of what’s possible G Suite and Office 365 to assist in determining when and why you will make your move to the cloud.
