Cybersecurity Month Blog Series: series strategy (objectives, themes), delivery timeline, 4 posts
Today s accelerated technology trends are powering unprecedented business transformation But they re also introducing an overwhelming amount of security risk Hackers use a wide range of tools and methods to gain access to your data from social engineering and phishing scams to ransomware attacks and exploiting systems vulnerabilities With virtually all personal and business data stored on internet connected platforms targeting businesses has become a gold mine for bad actors To ensure the best chance of business continuity following any compromising cyber event strategically backing up your data is one of the most foundational best practices you should include in your layered security checklist Business Critical Backup and Recovery Without A Plan Cybersecurity professionals agree pretty much universally that it s not a matter of whether businesses will encounter an attack but when Trying to execute every day business functions without access to data is like trying to drive a car without the tires basically inoperable The very purpose of an holistic security strategy is to minimize as many gateways available to threat vectors as possible local on prem locations geographical distribution networked systems and cloud backups primary or redundant data storage are fundamental first steps in a layered approach to protecting your data Unfortunately employing a data backup strategy isn t as universally agreed upon If that sounds contradictory well it is In fact even many IT professionals generally view backups as an insurance against the potential for an attack verses a priority to combat attacks But consider this common scenario a company has recognized the importance of backing up data and engages IT to deploy it A random device is selected and turned on in a single location but never tested runs on subpar hardware and has no particular defined parameters This approach has a very different outcome during recovery from a cyber attack than a strategic data backup solution Business Continuity Predicated on Data Recovery If you re employing a set it and forget it backup strategy you re in for a rude awakening when an incident occurs Waiting until you need your backups is arguably the worst time to wonder how many copies of your data are
available and where and how they re stored During an incident time is critical downtime adds up quickly and can be extremely costly to your customers your reputation and your bottom line Some businesses simply can t recover they go out of business For a significant outage you need to be able to act fast and be responsive If you or your solution provider don t know what you don t have you re looking at a substantial amount of downtime and mounting associated recovery costs as you work it out Making Cybersecurity A Priority with Data Backup Companies are best positioned to assure business continuity if each of these steps have preceded an incident Security minded culture user behaviors and policies awareness ongoing compliance reinforcement Preventative measures annual third party security assessment to document vulnerabilities in the security controls along with correction recommendations firewalls and backup strategy functioning as intended allow listings and access controls implemented timely patching audits testing monitoring and spot checks and fire drills to ensure everything is documented and security settings haven t changed On call service in place 24 7 365 fully staffed live helpdesk of experienced certified engineers with a 15 minute disaster response time Off loading some of the routine tasks associated with cyber hygiene like software updates patching testing and backups to an MSP like Path Forward IT is an investment in your overall security plan This simple step enables a service provider with end to end data protection solutions to get to know your systems environment intimately enabling expert counsel for when you need to make operational changes that impact IT are thinking about a purchase decision or encounter an attack or natural disaster Backup Options Matter Of course you never want to get to recovery mode but when you do the quality of your backups will be very important The best mitigation for destructive cyber attacks is having rock solid backups However with the advent of affiliate ransomware attackers will now go after any accessible backups too This makes a secure cloud based
backup solution a good choice one that uses authentication that requires a unique set of complex credentials for access does not overlap with workstation server or domain credentials and does not require physical servers in the event of a disaster What makes Cohesity enterprise class backup solutions the preferred choice of so many enterprises worldwide are the expanse of options available to prepare your organization for a variety of data compromises Cohesity provides a secondary repository with immutability for offsite storage ransomware early detection and other advanced security features along with a team behind it monitoring and testing everything daily to ensure its efficacy The benefits of backup options become crystallized during a recovery operation Customized data protection and recovery solutions provider Path Forward IT points to less production impact and downtime in general rapid speed to restore massive data storage of up to 35 PiB pebibytes granularity and the flexibility to scale and customize the solution to fit customer needs Backup As Last Line of Defense A layered security strategy improves your chances of stopping threats from penetrating your environment But as new technologies develop and threat actors mature in finding ways to exploit them strategically backing up your data can mean the difference between business devastation and a quickly contained service interruption If you put a key under the mat for the cops a burglar can find it too Criminals are using every technology tool at their disposal to hack into people s accounts If they know there s a key hidden somewhere they won t stop until they find it Tim Cook CEO Apple Inc To learn more request a consultation with Path Forward IT Resources

Servicing Celebrity and Commercial Clients In fabric restoration often acknowledgement for achievements and quality service originates from the industry itself Or in the case of franchise operations such as FRSTeam Fabric Restoration Service Team who is rated on franchisee satisfaction accolades can also come from the franchise associations Generally speaking however those who clean clothing and textiles damaged by smoke fire water mold vandalism or other force or contaminant are unsung heroes who quietly work in the background to restore some order and normality to persons experiencing the effects of loss from the smallest household to the to the very largest from the average customer to the rich and famous For a residential homeowner and maybe even a small business owner a loss is a personal issue that while certainly an anxiety ridden or traumatic situation is mostly only impactful to that individual and their family A celebrity or big business client will have different concerns and expectations that require some altered procedures in managing the job and handling their items Discretion Whether a spoken or unspoken request discretion is often an expectation of those handling celebrity big business or high profile clients Because reputation or commerce concerns can come into play when a brand is associated with a loss businesses such as department stores or hotels who service or sell product to customers may not want the images that damage conjures associated with their facility Similarly celebrities may not want to be identified with a loss though a fabric restoration business may benefit from publicizing that particular client relationship Unless express authorization is offered it s probably best to err on the side of caution and save name dropping for other highprofile clientele rather than publicizing to general news media Job Management Because high profile clients have a larger personal infrastructure meaning there may be more layers of gate keepers to go through such as house managers or business managers some special accommodation may be required as regards scheduling communication and servicing Don Canzoneri of FRSTeam by West Covina Cleaners who often services Hollywood clients says it s important to be prepared to go the extra mile in performing functions not normally undertaken in the fabric restoration business
Over the years I have met clients who ve flown in private jets to meet me I ve also worked with some of the most priceless garments used in Hollywood I recommend fabric restoration experts send their best crew or as owner oversee the job themselves Canzoneri warns to also heed the physician s credo to first do no harm Restoration experts should be extra vigilant to not damage anything on the property as the cost of flooring draperies wallpaper etc is often shocking according to Canzoneri Cleaning High end couture items will require more than a ritual glance at an attached care label Restoration experts may be handling one of a kind textiles with a serial numbers like Armani Black Label garments or precious delicate fabrics that require multiple hand cleaning processes Because items worth thousands of dollars require special processing and handling fabric restoration services should charge accordingly according to FRSTeam of West Covina Cleaner s Don Canzoneri Billing The cleaning cost should be in line with the cost of the textile Restoration professionals will also need to factor in packaging and perhaps special deliveries says Canzoneri In celebrity homes generally the house manager will assign the domestic staff to putting away the garments We may have to break up the items into multiple deliveries to accommodate the client s needs Ultimately flexibility and meeting the client s expectations is most key according to Canzoneri Since 2005 FRSTeam Fabric Restoration Service Team has serviced large department stores movie studios actors dancers athletes entertainers and other high profile clients For more information on fabric restoration franchise FRSTeam visit www frsteam com Barbara Roy is a professional freelance writer and manager of communications for national fabric restoration franchise FRSTeam Founded in 2005 FRSTeam offers fabric restoration services to property insurers and loss and damage mitigation contractors in 43 states across the continental United States and Canada

Connected Fleet Solutions Article Content Technology in the cab that used to save the business money now costs it great hires A large percentage of in cab driver applications running on a legacy mobile data terminal require a workaround The driver can t actually use the cumbersome technology in real time but must keep manual notes on a steno pad because the driver software applications and proprietary technology are a collection of isolated apps that are not intuitive nor integrated to share the most basic information So instead of reducing paperwork and saving precious time the laborious system ends up taking much more effort For technology to help the modern day driver with real problems it needs to reduce or remove inter dependency between manual processes improve driver to driver and THE AVERAGE ANNUAL TURNOVER RATE FOR LONG HAUL TRUCKERS AT BIG TRUCKING COMPANIES HAS BEEN GREATER THAN 90 FOR DECADES THAT MEANS FOR EXAMPLE IF A COMPANY HAS 10 TRUCKERS NINE WILL BE GONE WITHIN A YEAR American Trucking Association ATA driver to manager communications support real time handling of critical event situations de tether the driver from a single location to complete critical outside the cab job tasks provide real time access to weather and traffic warnings alternate routing options and guides to loading docks and vehicle inspections and enable them to update their load status so they can get paid as quickly as possible Outdated technology and driver success are in direct opposition So what does a technology solution that cost effectively delivers results to the trucking company while simultaneously enabling drivers to efficiently do their jobs look like It starts with modernizing the entire hardware experience with Samsung devices providing a single pane of glass where drivers can intuitively record and manage their job activities through a familiar unified interface Coupled with modern smart fleet management software like that offered by connected vehicle technology expert Platform Science Samsung Connected Fleet 2
