Big Leaks - New York City, Manhattan, Edgewater

The big IT glitches that lead to catastrophe

Inadequate Cybersecurity Measures

The average downtime time from a cybersecurity incident is 2 weeks. Protecting your company is crucial to remain productive and maintaining trust with your customers. Basic tools like spam filters and antivirus can only do so much. F8 can optimize security on your firewalls, WiFi networks, and intrusion detection systems. Coupled with our Enhanced Security Plan (ESP), a curated bundle of security apps, you can build layers of defenses against threats from external actors and missteps by your own employees that put your company at risk.

Poorly Managed User Access Controls

Poor user access controls can also be a big risk. If employees have more access than they need, it increases the chances of data leaks or internal security threats. By setting up strict access policies and reviewing them regularly, you can keep your sensitive information safe.

Mismanaged Software Updates

Keeping software up-to-date is crucial for both security and performance. But when updates aren’t consistent across your organization, you open the door to vulnerabilities and compatibility problems. This can lead to data breaches, system crashes, and lower productivity as employees struggle with outdated tools.

Poor Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning

Lack of Regular Backups

Data loss is a nightmare for any business. Without a solid backup strategy, you’re left exposed to data loss from hardware failures, cyber-attacks, or even simple human error. Regular backups and testing your recovery processes are key to protecting your data and ensuring business continuity.

Lack of Employee Education

Even the best tools can’t protect your business if employees aren’t prepared. Without training, they’re vulnerable to phishing and other attacks. Our Security Awareness Training teaches your team to spot and stop threats, making them your first line of defense. With informed employees, you can prevent mistakes and strengthen security.
