Cyber friends! This week we're on the 5th part of our 15-part series on protecting your business from cyber-attacks - and our spotlight is on passwords! A strong password is like a lock on a door to your house. Just like a strong lock prevents a thief from entering without permission a strong password (unique, complex and long) acts as a digital lock preventing a cyber criminal from getting into online accounts. You wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked, but using a weak password is exactly like leaving a digital door unlocked. We're all about practical steps here. These insights aren't just theory – they're actions you can take right now to armor up your business and reduce the risk of cyber attack. Hope you'll join the conversation!

I’ve had the best time getting to know the members of the Frisco Chamber of Commerce these past few weeks! What a warm welcome! 😊 I've been absolutely blown away by the energy and the incredible sense of humor everyone brings to the table! 🎉 Speaking to a room of mostly small business owners, my message was simple… —-> Times have changed. Cyber attacks are on the rise. —->You’re not too small to be hacked, you’re just too small to make the news. Proactively fending off an attack with cybersecurity is a far better posture than recovering from a loss. Fortunately, this is where we excel! From a free cyber strategy session to get you pointed in the right direction… to a comprehensive security assessment to identify gaps and vulnerabilities…to fully managed IT and cybersecurity solutions, we’re here to help! Feeling grateful to be in an industry making a direct positive impact on SMBs… and to be part of such an engaging and vibrant chamber community!✨ #ChamberOfCommerce #Networking #BusinessCommunity #cybersecurity #SMBs #cybereducation #smallbusiness #cybercrime #hacked

Cyber friends! This week we're on the 4th part of our 15-part series on protecting your business from cyber-attacks - and our spotlight is on firewalls! Imagine this: firewalls are like the airport security checkpoint for your business. They're the gatekeepers, scrutinizing everything that tries to enter your network. Just like airport security, they enforce rules to block out the bad stuff and let the good stuff through. We're all about practical steps here. These insights aren't just theory – they're actions you can take right now to armor up your business and reduce the risk of cyber attack. Hope you'll join the conversation!

This 60 Minutes interview is both fascinating and terrifying. "The Comm" sub-culture is made up of thousands of "Scattered Spider" native English-speaking youth who have teamed with Russian "Black Cat"… like a virtual back alley where all the bad kids hang out. The evolution of cybercrime now includes Ransomware as a Service, which has given structure and format to these groups that are run like legit companies with 24-hour service desks and HR departments to hire software developers. These criminals are using good old fashion social engineering to pull off their cyber-heists. In many instances it's a smooth-talking hacker impersonating an employee who then tricks the help desk into resetting their password. Once inside the bad actors release malware and demand a ransom to unencrypt and get data back. From SMBs to large corporations, no one is immune. We hear about the big sensationalized attacks in the news, but it doesn't mean it's not happening in small and mid-markets. In fact, SMBs are often targeted because the criminals know they don't have the security in place that larger organizations do. We're in a war… the attacks are coming… and the time to get on the offense is now. A battle-tested cybersecurity program with early detection can greatly reduce and avoid damage. IT ArchiTeks, LLC. has stood by our customers defending them for over 20 years. We want to help you too! Get started by scheduling a complimentary strategy session with our cyber team today! #cybersecurity #ransomware #cybercrime #socialengineering #cyberattack #hackers #cyberawareness #cybereducation #beaware https://lnkd.in/gsnvKeZj

Transportation, trucking and logistics leaders! Sadly, we have another transportation company to add to the growing list of those hit by cyberattack. On March 3, 2024, a threat actor named Dragon Force cyber attacked Ward Transportation, claiming to have stolen a massive 574.14 gigabytes of data. This paralyzed multiple layers of Ward's network, halting their operations. It's a fact, cybercriminals are targeting transportation, and the consequences are significant. Imagine the impact on supply chains when operations grind to a halt. Unlike other sectors, it's not as easy to simply switch to pen and paper. Cybercriminals prey on your vulnerability, knowing you can't afford downtime. But you don't have to sit back and be a victim. At IT ArchiTeks, we specialize in defending transportation companies against all kinds of cyber-threats like ransomware and business email compromise. We've stood by our customers for over 20 years, defending them from every angle of an attack. You can count on us to be there for you too! Don't wait until it's too late. Reach out to us for expert guidance on preventing, detecting, and responding to cyber threats. Let's work together to safeguard your business and keep the supply chain moving smoothly. https://lnkd.in/g8WuhqKx #Cybersecurity #TruckingIndustry #Ransomware #LogisticsIndustry #TransportationIndustry #CyberCrime #TruckingLife #WomenInTrucking #WomenInCyber #CyberThreat
