October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a perfect time to audit and upgrade your security practices, and if you offer managed IT services, talk to your clients about doing the same.
Cybersecurity
The practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks that are aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users via ransomware; or interrupting normal business processes. Cybersecurity services represent a growing diversification opportunity for dealers working in the office technology industry.
