The benefits of managed IT services have become more apparent to businesses due to advancing technology and increasing dependence on reliable networks and systems. In this unprecedented time as we are in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, the advantage of having a team that can remotely support your system is obvious. On a regular basis, managed IT services provide a plethora of advantages over the typical break/fix model of IT, from increased productivity to lower expenses for your business. Below are some of the ways your business can benefit from a managed service provider (MSP).
Many businesses are shifting business models to incorporate more remote work. This move is welcome to many employees, but the change involves many challenges that businesses may be unprepared to meet, such as proper cabling, connection strength, and cyber security. Recently, SkyViewTek owner Bernie Orglmeister met with VIEWS Digital Marketing Agency to discuss some of the challenges, and the ways that SkyViewTek managed IT services help to make the transition less stressful. Read the entire interview transcript below, or watch the video.
The US National Security Agency (NSA) discovered a serious flaw in Windows 10 that could expose users to surveillance or serious data breaches. The NSA confirmed that the vulnerability affects Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 and 2019, for which Microsoft has released updates. It said that it flagged the dangerous bug because the Windows 10 flaw “makes trust vulnerable.” In the past, the NSA might have kept the security hole to itself, using it to spy on adversaries.
If your business subscribes to the Proactive Monitoring / Managed Services of SkyViewTek, then we took care of installing the patch to your computer network overnight last night. However, you should restart your computer when you get into the office. But if you are managing your own computer network or have not yet migrated from Windows XP or Windows 7 to Windows 10, then we suggest you contact SkyViewTek as soon as possible for assistance.
As always, you should continue to implement best practices and common sense when using your computer, and opening email or documents, or clicking on links. For more information or for a consultation, please contact SkyViewTek today to manage your computer network and to help minimize cyber security risks. Call 610-590-5006 or email info@skyiewtek.com.
