Businesses are being faced with significant challenges when attempting to secure their digital assets from the increase of sophisticated cyberattacks. How strong is your current security posture? We can help you find the answer to that question. Our complimentary Cybersecurity Self-Assessment is designed to provide insight to those responsible for achieving your business?s regulatory compliance and protecting its assets. It?s a high-level evaluation that can help determine your business?s cybersecurity preparedness level based on the widely adopted National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework. It generates a score that will help explain your current security posture. Take it a step further and share your assessment with Info Advantage so we can help provide more details into any gaps or opportunities when it comes to your business technology. We offer fully managed security solutions to protect all of your endpoints from both external and internal threats. We agree with what Henry Ford once said, ?The only real security you can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.? That?s why we offer cybersecurity solutions that range from Dark Web Monitoring to Phishing Simulations and more. This assessment touches on these areas and is segmented into five important sections ? Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. We believe that the Cybersecurity Self-Assessment is a great addition to our cybersecurity solution portfolio; complementing our iaGuardianSecure and managed IT solutions. We even have a Cybersecurity Program Guide to help you understand what a solid security program should look like. At Info Advantage, we are committed to protecting your business, your staff, and your customers. Doing so requires you to take IT security very seriously and to make cybersecurity a priority! We don?t want you to lose valuable time trying to resolve issues when you can prevent them before they happen. It?s our goal to help businesses improve operational efficiency, increase productivity, and strengthen network security using technology. If you have any questions about your IT, please contact us!
Cyber insurance is a type of insurance policy that provides business with a combination of coverage options to help protect the company from data breaches and other cyber security issues. In today?s cyber landscape, it?s not a question of if your organization will suffer a breach, but when. As technology becomes more complex and sophisticated, so do the threats that business face. This is why every organization needs to be prepared with both cyber insurance and an effective cyber security plan to manage and mitigate cyber risk. Cyber insurance can often provide coverage in the following ways: Lost Data, Lost Devices, Notification Requirements, and Forensics; it also can play a role in protecting your company long before a breach occurs! If a data breach does occur, cyber insurance can be essential in helping your organization recover as costs incurred can include business disruption, equipment damages, forensic analysis, legal fees, public relations expenses, and revenue loss. All of these are reasons why Info Advantage is excited to provide you with our upcoming webinar ? Cyber Insurance Is Evolving: What You Need To Know For 2022!

As we look back at 2021 it?s evident that cybersecurity strongholds were surrounded by cybercriminals waiting to pounce at the sight of even the slightest crack in defenses. Threats and risks from all angles soon closed in on businesses of all sizes, bringing with them updated tactics and greater motivation to affect targeted industries. These breaches included modern ransomware attacks, Covid-19 related scams, and more developed social engineering threats. Here are a few stats to consider as you look to increase your security in the New Year: The amount of cyberattacks across the U.S. increased by 900% and is still rising. The most common attack vector remains Phishing emails to expose personal data. Over 85% of breaches included a human error due to lack of cybersecurity awareness. When a disruption occurs, your business stops. The Info Advantage team can help you avoid that. Now is the time to strengthen your IT and create a stronger security culture within your business. Here are three areas our team can help you get started with right away: Use Phishing Simulation & Awareness Training to reduce employee risks.
