Stolen, reused, or weak passwords cause 80% of confirmed IT security breaches. Healthy password habits are foundational to preventing cyberattacks, which can result in lost productivity, stolen data, and damaged reputation.

Today, passwords are needed for every account, and remembering all those secret codes can feel like solving a puzzle with missing pieces.

Roughly 93% of corporate networks are estimated to be susceptible to cyberattacks. Many organizations suffer breaches because of poor vulnerability management.

For example, 61% of security vulnerabilities in corporate networks are over five years old.

After the pandemic, many found themselves working from home. Working from home proved to have its benefits and challenges, particularly where technology is involved.

What do you do at home when technology seems to be working against you? Are these issues you can solve on your own? How do you know when you reach out to your IT helpdesk for resolution?

For over 25 years, WEBIT Services has helped clients discover and apply effective security practices.

Cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and prevalent. In 2022, ransomware attacks jumped by 93%.

Protecting sensitive data and systems requires a comprehensive approach beyond a single security solution.

Defense-in-depth uses layers of security tools, procedures, and programs to help protect your data from cybercriminals while saving you stress and profits in the long run.

Today's offices are digitally sophisticated. Nearly every activity relies on technology and data sharing. Cybercriminals ("bad actors") can breach these systems from several entry points, including computers, smartphones, cloud applications, and network infrastructure.

Cloud apps are typically quick and easy to sign up for. The user often assumes that they don’t need to worry about security. As such, misconfiguration of cloud solutions is often overlooked when companies plan cybersecurity strategies.

Misconfiguration of cloud solutions is the number one cause of cloud data breaches.

As technology advances, users must develop proactive measures to safeguard sensitive information.

Cybersecurity can seem impossible, but it's not only a job for the IT team. Everyone can play a part in keeping data safe. Even IT security basics can make a significant difference in network security.

Cybersecurity has become a critical foundation upon which many aspects of business rely. Network security is crucial whether you're a large enterprise or small business because cyberattacks can have long-term consequences.

The frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks continue to increase.

Cybercrime is steadily increasing. Cybercriminals are exploiting the vast and ever-expanding realm of the internet for their own gains. But how can we safeguard our valuable data from these online threats? Is there a solution that's accessible to both individuals and organizations?

Yes, there is a solution that goes by the name of two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA adds another layer of security to login practices, making it even more difficult for cybercriminals to access accounts and systems.

Imagine working away on your PC and seeing a Windows update prompt. Instead of ignoring it, you take action. After all, you want to keep your device safe. But when you install what you think is a legitimate update, you're infected with ransomware.

That's the nightmare caused by an emerging cybersecurity threat.

Cybercrime is a rapidly growing industry. Experts estimate that cybercrime costs will reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. Keeping information safe is essential in light of the growing risks of cybercrime.

Cybercriminals can launch very sophisticated attacks, but often lax cybersecurity practices enable most breaches.

You may not have old skeletons hidden away in the basement. But there's a good chance of cybersecurity vulnerabilities lurking in the shadows, just waiting to wreak havoc. Cyberattacks can cost businesses profits and damage their reputations.

You can't fix what you can't see.
