Cybersecurity in Milwaukee

Not a day passes when we don’t hear about a new ransomware attack or another emerging cybersecurity threat. Over the past several years, cyber “hacking” has evolved into a full-scale black-market industry. The sophistication of the tools and tactics deployed by these attackers has increased dramatically—and the risk to your business today is greater than ever. Tomorrow, that risk will be even higher.

For many small and lower mid-market businesses in Wauwatosa, it is nearly impossible to keep up with these risks, let alone build a strong defense against them. Effective cybersecurity in Milwaukee requires full-time, 24/7 oversight, threat monitoring, and rapid response. We partner closely with our clients to design dynamic, proactive protection strategies that significantly reduce the likelihood of a successful cyber attack.

Cybercriminals intentionally target small and mid-sized businesses because they know these organizations typically lack the security resources of larger companies. We have seen businesses suffer severe financial loss, operational downtime, and long-term brand damage as a result. Too often, we are called after the attack has already occurred. The smarter move is to be proactive—and we can help.

Studies have shown that even as early as 2013, one in five small business networks were already compromised. With today’s rapidly advancing attack methods, those numbers have undoubtedly increased—raising the likelihood of data breaches, system hijacks, financial fraud, and expensive business disruption.

At ManagePoint, we provide comprehensive cybersecurity in Milwaukee designed to keep your business protected at all times. Our layered defense strategies, monitoring systems, and proactive response planning help ensure you remain at minimum risk.

• Updates. Keeping computers and network equipment updated is one of the most effective steps to preventing a possible network security issue.
• Firewall. A common mistake in small to medium business networks is the lack of a business grade firewall solution. Often business owners are unaware of the difference between having a network router and having a network firewall in place.
• Passwords. Password and password protection are proving to be an area that needs attention when discussing network security. Using sophisticated software and tools, hackers are easily gaining access to small business networks through simple or default passwords
• Antivirus/Antispam. Most people know that antivirus and antispam software are necessary components of network security, but many people don’t realize why its so important until their computer or network is infected with a virus, malware, spyware, or a host of other potentially dangerous issues.

No matter the size of your business, network security is a definite requirement for every business in the digital age. If you are worried or unsure of where to start with an internal security audit, our team can help get you on track.
