In the world of information technology, acronyms seem to be everywhere. The IT services industry is famous for its love of acronyms and nicknames. There are so many that sometimes it can be overwhelming or confusing.

That's why we decided to break down some of the top acronyms you may hear when speaking with your IT provider.

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.

Cybercrime is a rapidly growing industry. Experts estimate that cybercrime costs will reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.

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.

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

IT risk assessments may feel intimidating or even overwhelming. How do you know if the risks presented genuinely threaten your business and IT system? Is this the correct assessment to meet your needs?

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.

These deceptive cyberattacks pose a significant risk to organizations and their employees.

A good IT help desk can make all the difference between frustration and efficiency for businesses and individuals. But what exactly makes a help desk "good"? Is it the technical expertise of the support staff? The speed of response? Or perhaps the ability to provide personalized solutions?

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.
