Cyber Recovery: how it works and how to apply it

Jan 16, 2023

The steady increase in digitization and the related shift to the cloud due to diverse development opportunities, increased flexibility and business agility has also indirectly caused an increase in cyber attacks in the public and private sector worldwide.
Estimating that about every 39 seconds a cyber attack occurs, one would think that it is no longer a matter of “if” but rather “when” it will be one’s turn to face an attack on one’s company. Therefore, it becomes critical to identify critical data and applications that, in the event of an attack, enable normal business operations to be resumed quickly.

The culture of continuous improvement

Nov 28, 2022

Mistakenly, the concept of continuous improvement is associated exclusively (or predominantly) with manufacturing realities, where problems such as excessive stockpiled inventories easily jump out at you. This immediate visual identifiability, however, should not be understood as a conditio sine qua non going to exclude realities such as those operating in services.

Businesses, no matter what industry they are in, should be viewed as real entities that change and grow, requiring constant investment in improving each and every element that makes them up. This is an ongoing process that involves time and effort, but is too often put on the back burner in favor of more immediate goals. Studies show, however, that an increased focus in terms of innovation and the ability to put oneself under analysis are key factors that contribute to business success.

How to manage devices security? With Intune.

Nov 16, 2022

In a work environment where employees need to be able to work remotely by having an average of 2 or more devices, companies are challenged in trying to ensure total accessibility to them without security repercussions.
How then to keep all devices safe? How to protect data if employees check emails from their mobile apps?
These questions, and many others, are answered by InTune, Microsoft’s mobile device management (MDM) service that creates the foundation for secure enterprise mobility.
In fact, by using Intune-managed certificates and standard VPN gateways or proxies, it is possible to allow mobile apps to access on-premises data, ensuring that employees can access it from virtually anywhere and on almost any device, while providing maximum security.

Turning Microsoft Teams into a cloud-based telephone switchboard

Nov 16, 2022

Compounded by the pandemic and the rise of remote work, recent months have seen a surge in the use of modern cloud collaboration tools as many companies have realized that traditional communication channels are limited and obsolete. Indeed, with work becoming increasingly smart, the need to be able to communicate anywhere and seamlessly switch between devices while continuing conversations in real time is critical.

So it should come as no surprise that Microsoft 365 turns out to be one of the most widely used unified collaboration platforms in the world with more than 270 million active users in the last year alone. Impressive numbers that confirm to us that all companies regardless of industry, size and geographical area aim for efficient collaboration and communication.

While it is true, however, that most of the apps on Microsoft 365 are already well known, the subject changes when we talk about the possibility of using Microsoft Teams as a cloud-based switchboard.

Outsourced IT: the strategic choice for SMEs

Nov 16, 2022

The rapid transition in recent years to an agile enterprise capable of not only supporting remote work, but also a range of key business activities, has highlighted the difficulties that already plagued many SMEs.

In fact, trying to adapt quickly and reactively without a clear strategy and with reduced resources has forced many companies to take time and attention away from their core business, losing the agility that was so much sought after, leaving room for competitors who had already made outsourcing a strategic choice.

The advantage of relying on an MSP is primarily the ability to purposefully plan and schedule all the steps necessary to make IT secure, stable, accessible, and usable. How?

Data security: backup and the 3-2-1-1-0 rule

Nov 16, 2022

The experience of computer data loss is always a traumatic event, both in the private sphere and, even more so, in the business context. In the latter case, in fact, the event can constitute a major damage and even a not inconsiderable danger, both to the organization and to its customers and suppliers. To prevent it, there are best practices that, however, need the right ways to apply them in order to be reliable.

Immutable backups and Cloud: how to protect data from ransomware

Nov 15, 2022

Ransomware is one of the biggest cybersecurity threats a company can face. Its operation is as simple as it is deadly: through encryption it makes it impossible for users to access stored files and content. In order to gain access again, the company is asked to pay a ransom, and throughout the downtime, the organization suffers damage in terms of turnover, operations, and image.

This is why it is critical for any organization to equip itself with an effective backup system for corporate data with which to ensure real-time restoration of functionality in the event of a ransomware attack, thus avoiding having to give in to blackmail and losing valuable time on the business front.

But there is an additional problem: hacking is constantly evolving, and today cybercriminals are able to encrypt even backups. To try to counter this critical issue and provide better protection from ransomware, a special category of backups has been developed, in which information referred to as “immutable data” is stored.
