The Financial Fallout of Cybersecurity Breaches

If you think your business is immune to the dangers of cybersecurity attacks, think again. Cybercriminals don’t discriminate, and they’ll attack you just as readily as a larger enterprise simply due to your weaker network security. If you want to keep your business from suffering a cybersecurity attack needlessly, we’ve got just the thing for you.

Are Cybersecurity Attacks Really That Bad?

The short answer is “yes,” but we’ll elaborate on why anyway.

A single ransomware attack, where your data is encrypted and operations grind to a halt, could cost your business tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. The disaster isn’t just the ransom you might have to pay for the safe return of your data; it’s the reputational hit that keeps you from getting more customers. Why would a customer trust you with their sensitive information if you’re just going to get infected by a cybersecurity threat and put it all at risk?

Add in the time your network is down and operations cannot function, and you have an expensive, costly mess that only gets worse the more you think about it. (And that’s without mentioning compliance at all.)

Managed IT Solves the SMB Cybersecurity Cost Dilemma

Many SMBs are also under the impression that they cannot afford to hire a full-blown cybersecurity team, or they might think they have to handle it all themselves.

This is also a fallacy, and it’s one that holds countless businesses back from properly protecting their infrastructures. Yes, hiring an in-house cybersecurity expert is expensive; you have to post the job, go through a lengthy interview process, and hope you get the right candidate. But what if we told you that outsourcing is a cost-effective alternative to hiring in-house?

That’s what a managed service provider like C3-Solutions does. We provide flat-rate, reliable, and affordable security solutions that are easier on your budget without compromising on quality or level of expertise.

Comprehensive Cybersecurity Solutions for SMBs

Managed IT takes a holistic approach to protecting your business by layering powerful security solutions on top of one another. Here are some examples:

• Endpoint Detection and Response - Comprehensive solutions installed on every entry point to your network, constantly scanning for suspicious behavior or known viruses.
• Email Security and Phishing Simulations - Training for your staff to identify bogus messages from would-be hackers.
• Patch Management - Proactive and preventative fixes for all of your network’s security flaws, automated so they never get skipped or forgotten about.

Our goal is to make your business as difficult a target as possible through the power of business technology. We want hackers to look at your network’s defenses and think, “Hell no,” then move on to the next, hopefully easier target.

There’s no reason to struggle alone with cybersecurity. Let the experts at C3-Solutions handle it for you from start to finish. Learn more today by calling us at (240) 226-7055.
