Today, the only way to have total security is to turn off your internet, lock down your system, and remove human use (and, therefore, human error).
For over 25 years, WEBIT Services has built effective cybersecurity procedures for hundreds of clients.
Email Is now an essential communication tool for businesses of all sizes. However, email's speed and convenience come with the potential for security risks. Hackers use email to plant malware or use social engineering to steal credentials.
Protecting your business email from hackers, phishing attempts, and data breaches is crucial to safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining the trust of your clients.
With the increasing dependence on digital technology, cybercrime has grown. A significant cyber threat facing businesses today is a phishing attack known as Business Email Compromise (BEC).
BEC attacks jumped 81% in 2022, and as many as 98% of employees fail to report the threat.
Are there key pieces of technology, data, or knowledge that, if lost, would bring your business to a halt? These essential elements are known as single points of failure, and if they are compromised or disrupted, they can bring down an entire system or network.

Understanding the lifecycle of a cyberattack can help users safeguard their data. While the damage they cause is unique, cyberattacks generally follow the same pattern.
In today's digital world, information technology (IT) is vital in our professional lives. Whether communicating with clients or working on important projects, we rely on IT systems to keep things running smoothly.
However, with the numerous benefits of technology, there are also risks.

IT risk assessments are valuable tools, but they must follow an official IT security framework and match your needs to be effective.
In today's digital age, mobile devices have become an integral part of our lives. From smartphones to tablets, we rely on these devices for communication, entertainment, and accessing information.
However, with this increased reliance comes the need to keep our mobile devices safe and secure.
Phishing attacks have become an increasingly prevalent threat in today's digital landscape. Phishing messages are disguised as trustworthy sources but hold a dangerous intent. Their goal is to steal information or plant malware.
These deceptive cyberattacks pose a significant risk to organizations and their employees.
Digital footprints cover today's modern workplace. Employees begin making these the moment they're hired. They get a company email address and application logins. They may even update their LinkedIn page to connect to your company.
When an employee leaves a company, digital offboarding must occur.
New technology and applications are developed every day. Some of them may even make jobs easier. If you discover a program that improves your productivity, do you know the process for downloading a new app onto your work computer? Does a procedure exist? Does it matter?
If your internal or external IT team doesn't know when or what applications users download, you may fall into shadow IT. Shadow IT is a term used to describe IT work performed "in the shadows" without the knowledge of the IT team.
Professionals can now use mobile devices to make communication and data sharing more convenient.
