Good evening, Reno! I’m Sarah Jenkins reporting live from our studios here in the heart of Reno. Tonight, we’re diving deep into a critical topic for every small business owner: data protection. Joining me is Scott Morris, IT Specialist with Reno Computer Services (RCS). Scott, thanks for being here.
“It’s my pleasure, Sarah. Protecting data is absolutely essential in today’s digital landscape,” says Scott.
Cyber Security
I asked Scott about the most common cybersecurity threats facing Reno businesses. “Phishing attacks are a huge concern,” he explains. “Criminals send deceptive emails designed to trick employees into revealing sensitive information like login credentials. Consequently, robust phishing protection is crucial. We often recommend multi-factor authentication and regular employee training to combat this threat.”
Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution
We discussed the importance of backup and disaster recovery solutions. “Imagine losing all your customer data, financial records, or important project files,” Scott says with a concerned expression. “It could be devastating for any business. A reliable backup and disaster recovery plan ensures you can quickly restore your data in case of an unexpected event like a cyberattack, hardware failure, or natural disaster.”
He shared a story about a local bakery that lost all its recipes due to a hard drive crash. “They were heartbroken,” Scott recalls. “Fortunately, they had RCS’s backup solution in place and were able to recover their precious recipes. It was a huge relief for them.”
Data Security
Scott emphasizes the importance of data security measures like encryption and access controls. “Encryption scrambles your data so that only authorized individuals can read it,” he explains. “Access controls limit who can access sensitive information based on their role within the company. These measures help protect your data from unauthorized access and cyberattacks.”
“Nearly 60% of small businesses close within six months of a major data breach,” according to the Ponemon Institute’s research. “Investing in robust data security is not just about compliance; it’s about protecting the very survival of your business.”
