Now, in 2019, the same thing is happening again with a vulnerability known as BlueKeep. This security risk is so severe that not only did Microsoft update Windows 10, they even went out of their way to patch its depreciated operating systems: Windows 2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista. Read more

Top 7 Reasons to Use a Managed Security Services Provider

With more businesses recognizing the benefits of partnering with an IT managed services provider, such as reducing overhead costs and increasing employee productivity, the focus is turning to strengthening cybersecurity with a managed security services provider (MSSP).
