Why Should I Care About Web & DNS Protection?
It's always what you don't know...
When we tap or click on a hyperlink, whether it's a link in an email, or a site we're browsing, the device we are using (computer, laptop, phone, etc.) is literally opening a particular set of files that are saved on a remote computer somewhere, and displaying or running their contents on our screen and device.
There is no way of knowing the state of the file(s) that we're opening and running. If the website is harmful, we won't find out until it's too late. We do have antivirus to help detect these types of online threats, but what if something slips through?
Web & DNS Protection fully addresses this, and more!
Using state-of-the-art AI and machine learning, new and harmful websites and other malicious online content can be blocked based on DNS address, keeping you and your staff protected. The system constantly scans the internet for threats, continuously updating its catalog so that when you do click on that link, it already knows whether it is safe or not.
Aside from up-to-date protection against the latest online threats, you gain control over your network with customizable policies that align with your business needs and prevent the misuse of internet resources.
With Web & DNS Protection, what you don't know won't hurt anymore.

Backup & Recovery
Managed Online Backups
Data backups should be all about recoverability. What is the use of backing up your data if the backup is destroyed with the original.
Backed up data can also become corrupted - a fact you may not realize until an emergency requires you to restore that data (and you can't).
3 Levels of Backup
There are 4 main elements in a business that require backing up:
- Operating System & Applications
- Files, Folders, & Databases
- Cloud-stored Data
A good backup solution has the ability to address all 4 areas (or more), depending on the needs of the business.
- Full system backup.
- File/Folder Backup
- Documents-Only Backup
- Microsoft 365 Backup

Ransomware
You do not want to see this screen
According to ChatGPT:
Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts a victim's data, rendering it inaccessible until a ransom is paid to the attacker, who then provides a decryption key. It is a form of cyber extortion used to coerce individuals or organizations into paying the demanded sum to regain control over their files and systems.
According to Us:
You better have a lot of time, money, and no plans to stay in business for much longer.
Over 44% of small businesses in Canada have experienced a cyber attack (2022 CIRA Cybersecurity Review). Becoming infected with ransomware can be absolutely brutal, rendering every saved item on a networked computer completely inaccessible.
What can you do?
There are 3 things you can do to mitigate these risks:.
1. Install malware protection on every device.
2. Keep devices and software patched and updated.
3. Backup your important files and devices offsite.
It can mean the difference between the life or death of your business.
Microsoft 365
Where do you need to work?
Aging can be most beneficial, especially in the world of technology (says the old dude!). New software and operating systems can be 'buggy', but with enough time and perseverance we can end up with some amazing tools.
Microsoft 365 (previously named Office 365) has come a long way since 2011.
I must say, it took some time to trust its privacy and reliability, and I slowly adopted only a few features at a time - sometimes just to experiment.
Ten years later it is arguably THE most beneficial digital business platform on the market. With Exchange, Sharepoint, Teams, OneDrive, the Office suite of applications (in two functional versions), and a host of other built-in business applications, it literally has everything you need to help tie your business together in a nice manageable package, everything labelled with your own business branding and email addresses.
In today's business world, and with the various ways in which we now work, M365 makes absolute sense. Acting like a 'server in the sky', businesses can control both user and device access to company data, regardless of the user's location. Whether working from home, the office, or a vehicle, everything you need can follow you to whichever device you prefer, keeping you connected and current.
