Stopping Cyber Crime Against Small and Midsize Businesses

The truth is, cyberattacks are on the rise targeting small and midsize organizations, which are often hardest hit — even though their breaches may not make headline news.

Attackers don’t need to coordinate a major attack effort for a huge payout. They can reliably collect modest sums from SMBs with minimal effort: via distributed denial of service attacks, point-of-sale malware, and phishing scams. SaaS from a Grand Rapids cybersecurity team like Micro Visions is your solution for hackers.

Micro Visions Information Technology Crisis Resolution and Prevention services are designed to resolve immediate problems and avoid future issues. However, even when the IT system appears to be working correctly, they may have vulnerabilities open for exploitation. Some of the disaster recovery services and projects our Grand Rapids cyber attack prevention and defense experts perform for our clients are:

  • Creation of IT-related documentation and procedures
  • Computer use policies
  • Security and other assessments
  • Intrusion protection
  • Backup strategies
  • Protection and recovery for key application and systems
  • Antivirus & Malware protection
  • Threat Detection
  • Managed cybersecurity services

Keep Your Company Data Secure

One of the biggest concerns of small to medium-sized businesses in Grand Rapids is cybersecurity. And with good reason:

60% of companies that experience a cyber attack go out of business. (Source: IDAgent, June 2021 – 10 SMB Cybersecurity Statistics That Every Business Owner Needs to See)

184% increase in cyberattacks since the beginning of 2021 against small and medium businesses in North America. (Source: SonicWall Mid Year 2021 Cyber Threat report)

These are just a few scary and significant statistics for small and medium businesses. Hackers still manage to compromise corporate data and systems with relative ease and regularly. That is because organizations continue to lack cybersecurity awareness and utilize poor practices that result in their data being unprotected and vulnerable to theft and breaches.

The issue facing organizations has been further exacerbated by operating remote workforces, the increasing cybersecurity skills gap, and the growth of connected and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks.

How do you keep your network protected and your employees and customers safe in a world of evolving cybercrime? No single security solution is enough; you need a team of cybersecurity experts- like the Grand Rapids cyber attack prevention and defense professionals at Micro Visions - in your corner to help you fight off bad actors (the bad guys).

Micro Visions’ Grand Rapids cybersecurity and SaaS experts has developed Fortified Cyber Defense, a comprehensive cybersecurity platform that combines compliance and process with a Security Operations Center to provide you with the best cybersecurity services in the business. And that’s just the start.

Six Things Grand Rapids Companies Can Expect from Cybersecurity Services from Micro Visions

Team Approach

Your company gains an IT department of professionals, including chief information officers, information technology consultants, network engineers, system engineers, system administrators, and technicians.

Comprehensive Technical Support

From access to 24/7/365 help desk support, remote assistance, or on-site support, your issues are resolved in the most timely and effective manner.

Vendor Management

Support for all technology-related devices is provided through vendor management services. You can spend your time more productively rather than contacting copier, printer, phone system, mobile phone, Internet Service Providers, cloud-hosted services, and other contracted providers.

Hardware and Software as a Service

Considering the fast pace of technology, often it makes business sense to avoid capital expenditures and write off technology expenses on a monthly basis while keeping equipment and software refreshed with hardware (HaaS) and software (SaaS) as a Service.

Managed Backup Solution

Our Securelink Backup service provides a fully managed backup solution encompassing hardware, software, off-site data replication, and storage, test restores, backup monitoring, and issue resolution should the need arise. Optional services include both local and cloud-based virtualization of down servers.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Disaster recovery planning is more than just having reliable backups. Frequently companies are unaware of the impact and cost of having key systems unavailable even for a day.

Construction companies work hard to meet on-the-job deadlines every day. IT services for construction companies helps firms maintain a high level of efficiency. When technology fails to operate efficiently or is subject to regular disruption, production schedules are interrupted, leading to costly delays and lost working hours. Additionally, on-site employees and customers become frustrated. Construction, an increasingly technology-dependent industry, can’t afford compromised productivity due to ill-functioning IT assets.
