Cybersecurity Alert… Business Leaders Need to Protect their Cloud Systems

DataLink works with many local organizations that depend on a hybrid IT environment – where a mix of on-site and cloud infrastructure has been integrated to support their daily business operations.

It’s not easy for hackers to break into cloud systems, but don’t let your guard down. Hackers are adapting. Researchers are tracking the growing trend of successful attacks that exploit cloud storage, services, and apps. 

Typically, otherwise secure cloud systems are breached when flaws are inadvertently introduced as organizations customize their IT and forget to upgrade their cybersecurity tools.

Phishing campaigns unlock the door too. Hackers can do serious damage when they access IT environments with unsuspecting users’ login credentials.

Don’t fall into these Technology Traps… They’ll slow down your business

Technology is complex and moving fast… So, it’s easy to keep all your focus on your core business – what you do best – rather than get distracted by new technology.

However, you can never ignore IT. Done right, well-managed technology cuts costs and will help your business get to the next level. DataLink’s experts can guide you to the best mix of IT services and solutions to drive your business ahead. If you need us to manage your IT, or just help with a project, we’re here. 

Make sure you don’t get bogged down by these common traps that can hold back your business...

• Routine ‘Day in – Day Out’ Problems - Handling routine user problems often stretches IT resources, which can come at the expense of never having enough time to plan or implement new applications that drive more business.

• Managing Data Protection - The right processes and procedures must be in place to bring systems back online after a disaster. This means performing daily backups and routine testing.

• ‘Off the Shelf’ Solutions - Trying to automate IT chores with software may create even more headaches and leave gaps that can expose the entire organization, including your branches and remote workers.

• Looking for the Best Deals - Small firms lack big business buying power, so every new request for services or products means a negotiation to get the best pricing or the best solution… More time wasted.

• Maintaining Security - Today’s online threats require vigilance and continuous patches. A breach can result in the loss of data, the failure of critical systems, a tarnished image, and even litigation.

With DataLink as your IT partner, you’ll have more time to pursue strategic initiatives that really have an impact, and you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing that your technology is covered by experts you can trust.
