Back in April, we introduced you to our Core Values. As we continue to grow as a company, our team continues to grow within these core values. While we have broken down these core values before, what better way to dive deeper into these values than to ask our own team members what these values mean to them? Passion: ?When I think about Passion & Info Advantage, I think about the work we do as an organization and the clients we do the work for. At all times, we strive to provide our clients with expert guidance, based upon best business practices, while also building valuable relationships. In everything we do, we give our best so we all can achieve our best.? ? Matt Christensen, Manager of Technical Services Nimble: ?Being able to stay current with the latest technologies. Ability to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously, and the skill of working on a single task but being aware of what is going on with other co-workers in your environment and being able to break away from your task to assist.? ? Todd Glick, Senior Systems Engineer Relentless Perseverance: ?No matter what the issue is, our team at IA always looks for a solution. We never stop until a solution is found that supports and helps our clients be productive. We are relentless on making sure our clients are productive no matter the time or day!? ? Tim Coffey, Systems Engineer Teamwork: ?Teamwork at Info Advantage is about being dedicated, driven and selfless. We are motivated to help each other succeed. Our team is incredibly flexible and tenacious when it comes to working an issue, whether it be the tenth time we have seen this type of issue or the first time for all of us.? ? Shawn Ridgway, Helpdesk / Network Technician Human: ?Fulfilling the human part of the core values is the best part about working at Info Advantage. Whether it comes to looking out for a fellow team member in need or just lightening the mood on a tough day, I absolutely enjoy the ability to help everyone at the office. Not to mention, it never hurts to have a good laugh when you?re at the office!? ? Ryan Wolfe, Helpdesk / Network Technician

Good thing for you, we have asked our team why they enjoy working with us to get you more acclimated with us. The top answer, unsurprisingly, was ?a great team.” We have mentioned it before and we will mention it again. Info Advantage is a team. We do not refer to ourselves as ?employees? because that is not what we are. Our office supports each team member as if we were an actual family. We come to work daily to support each other in our roles to better serve the company. Essentially, the company as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts. As a team, we make sure to spend time focusing on team building. This includes our ?fun food Fridays.? During the summer, this includes grilling and playing games. We can often be found on a Friday afternoon playing cornhole or Kanjam in our parking lot, which never disappoints. Another popular reason to come work for Info Advantage? We have dogs at the office! More often than not, you will see three poodles running around the office and keeping the mood light. Spending 40 hours a week at the office is much easier when you have a furry friend to keep you company. These are just a few of the many reasons you should come join our team at Info Advantage! Not only are we focused on our team but we also spend a large amount of time making sure we are learning about the latest and greatest technologies to ensure we provide the best solutions for our customers. Please feel free to share our current job openings with anyone you think might be a good fit!
When is the last time you thought about your level of vulnerability to cyber threats? Cyber threat hunting is an active search through your networks, endpoints, and databases to hunt malicious or risky activities that have dodged detection by your existing tools. Proactive cyber threat hunting tactics have evolved to use new threat intelligence on previously collected data to categorize potential threats in advance of attacks ? and that?s something everyone should be thinking about. In the VMware Global Threat Report, which interviewed over 3,000 IT leaders from 13 different countries, it found that 80% of internal IT teams are starting to formalize their processes and that trends are moving in the right direction for the industry overall. People now understand its importance. It?s easy to understand it once you?ve been breached ? but we suggest not waiting for that to happen. Having a good a security posture starts with gaining information. Info Advantage is able to tailor a security strategy paired with Sophos comprehensive threat analytics to help gain full visibility into your environment. Once our experienced technicians assess the capabilities your network requires, we implement the best solution. Browse this Example Managed Threat Response (MTR) Monthly Report to see the threat data we focus on and how comprehensive it is. You deserve to know what?s happening in your business. It?s also important to understand many businesses can?t afford to believe that their security system is impenetrable. You must remain vigilant for the next threat rather than sit back and wait for threats to strike. Could your organization benefit from improved cybersecurity protection? Are you ready to get a trusted, long-term solution in place? Contact us today to learn more.
The cybersecurity landscape is changing every single day. Many internal IT teams in small to medium sized businesses are stretched to their limits, finding it challenging to manage the multiplying threats and to decipher real risks from false alarms ? and we know time is money.
