Last week F1 Solutions was honored as the winner of the 2014 Huntsville/Madison Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year Winner in the technology category. We are so honored to have received this recognition and thanked all of our wonderful staff, most who were on-hand to share in this magical night.
Your employees no longer solely rely on computers and peripherals. Because technology is becoming increasingly mobile, personal smartphones and tablets are now viable alternatives. This allows for better flexibility without having to spend more on expensive hardware.
As more small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) turn to digital solutions for productivity and efficiency, disaster recovery is also becoming more important, as natural and man-made calamities can happen anytime. Cyberattacks, forest fires, earthquakes, and hardware failures are just some of the threats that endanger your company.
With all of the recent news of data breaches, it’s more important than ever to patch your devices. Every software is written with code, and you can often find a flaw in the programming that leaves a vulnerability in place for the bad guys to take advantage of.
When you receive a pile of orders from customers and your network infrastructure suddenly malfunctions, how do you handle the situation? Even your most tech-savvy employee may be ill-equipped to handle these issues. This is where a managed services provider (MSP) can come in handy.
Small businesses have long been a target for hackers seeking easy money. Even though they’re often victimized because of their reputation as more vulnerable than their larger competitors — due to lower budgets and a lack of robust infrastructure — SMBs still handle plenty of high-value information.
Today’s businesses face a constant barrage of digital threats coming from both inside and outside sources, such as ransomware, phishing scams, denial of service attacks, and various other forms of malware.
Many attacks succeed by exploiting vulnerabilities found in old hardware and software that are no longer supported or updated by their original manufacturers.
There’s no denying that industry regulations are among the least glamorous business technology challenges. With rigid documentation processes and harsh penalties, all it takes is a simple error or oversight to fall into a compliance technicality. To make matters worse, many regulations aren’t entirely clear on which measures businesses must take to protect the privacy of their customers.
There’s no denying that mobile devices have had positive effects on employee productivity and morale. Thanks to smartphones and tablets, people can work during their commute or over breakfast at home. But the problem is they are much more likely to get lost or stolen than their deskbound cousins.
Healthcare providers and their associates have often been slow to adapt to new technology solutions. Many find themselves struggling with outdated systems that are costly to maintain and fail to satisfy the needs of the modern workforce and the demands of today’s consumers.
Your business data is at risk more than ever. If your password is weak, can easily be guessed, or is the same for multiple websites, hackers can steal your data and sell it to your competitors.
Data is the most valuable resource in the knowledge economy, so everyone from Google to small businesses in Huntsville need to protect their customer data at all costs.
