Good evening, Reno, and welcome back to “Tech Talk.” I’m Sheila Barnes, your local technology correspondent, and tonight we’re speaking with Scott Morris, the esteemed IT Specialist at Reno Computer Services. Scott, thanks for joining us.
“Sheila, it’s a pleasure to be here,” Scott replied with a warm smile. “Cybersecurity is definitely top of mind for businesses these days, and rightly so.”
Cyber Security
I asked Scott to elaborate on the biggest cybersecurity threats facing Reno businesses today. He explained that ransomware attacks are on the rise, with hackers targeting companies of all sizes. “Just last week,” he shared, “we helped a local restaurant recover from a ransomware attack that locked them out of their entire point-of-sale system. They were fortunate we had a recent backup and could get them up and running quickly, but it was a stressful experience for them.”
Scott emphasized the importance of strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and regular security updates to mitigate these threats.
Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution
Consequently, I inquired about backup and disaster recovery solutions. Scott stressed that having a reliable backup system is crucial in today’s threat landscape. “Think of it like insurance for your data,” he said. “If something goes wrong, you have a copy to restore from, minimizing downtime and potential losses.”
He went on to explain that Reno Computer Services offers customized backup and disaster recovery solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Data Security
Moving on to data security, I asked Scott about the best practices businesses should follow. He highlighted the need for encryption, both at rest and in transit. “Encryption scrambles your data so that even if it’s intercepted, it’s unreadable without the decryption key,” he explained.
“Moreover, employee training is essential. We often see breaches occur due to human error, such as falling for phishing scams or clicking on malicious links. Regular security awareness training can help employees identify and avoid these threats.”
It’s clear that Scott Morris and Reno Computer Services are committed to helping businesses in our community stay safe and secure in the ever-evolving digital world. Don’t wait until it’s too late – reach out to Scott and his team at Reno Computer Services to discuss your cybersecurity needs. Your business deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing your data is protected.
