Offices are switching their traditional non-networked data and file methods to more accessible formats by going mobile, allowing employees to work remotely or access important files and data on the go.

But how do you know if your office is ready to transition?

Take a look at this “when to go mobile” checklist:

• You have employees working remotely: A mobile office enables seamless data access and transfer for employees who work remotely or are on the move often. Remote data storage, like the cloud, allows your office to operate smoothly, regardless of where your employees are.
• You want your data to be secure: Setting up mobile access to files is much more secure for your data than sending files over email or using a third-party file sharing service. Your business will have full control over what data is accessed and by who when using the cloud. Stay secure by going mobile instead of relying on risky data storage methods that can cause your data and files to become lost, damaged, or even destroyed by malicious persons.
• You’re looking to grow your business: Going mobile when growing your business will allow you to increase and maintain your data and files more easily than not having the integration capabilities a mobile office has to offer, and will result in your employees being more productive because of the ease of access and transfer capabilities. Your business can not expand if its technology infrastructure won’t.

A serious weakness in the WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) protocol has been found, allowing attackers to intercept passwords, emails, and data on devices or access points within close range.

In other cases, ransomware or other malware is injected into a website a client is visiting.

Known as KRACK (short for Key Reinstallation Attacks), this attack affects the core WPA2 protocol and exploits normally encrypted data, especially on devices running Android, Linux, and OpenBSD.

While there are other ways to help with protection, like using HTTPS-protected web pages, this extra protection can still be bypassed by exploiting this weakness.

If possible, using a wired connection over Wi-Fi is ideal until patches become available and are applied to your devices.

This is an extremely serious issue that can drastically affect your privacy and personal information. We strongly encourage you to contact IntelliSyn today for more information on how to keep your personal and business Wi-Fi devices safe.

Every business, no matter the size, should be taking certain security measures to protect its business data and files from malicious intent and corruption.

Even if you’re not ready for external help with your IT, here are three things you can do today on your own:

• Weekly backups for all files

The sensitivity and importance of your data, as well as how often you create new files, will determine how often your data should be backed up.

Once a week is a good starting rate, with increase or decrease once your business sees what it needs.

But, is a backup enough?

• Secure your wireless network

Securing your wireless network is a must to keep your business data and files secure from corruption from cybercriminals. One important thing to do is change Wi-Fi passwords often.

• Keep all devices/computers up to date

There’s a reason why Microsoft sends regular updates!

Most updates urge PC and Mac users to update the most secure software version compatible with certain devices, ridding bugs and any previous software issues and replacing them with the most current, best version available.

Older software is more susceptible to cyberattacks, so keep all devices and computers up to date to prevent any virus infections or data and file corruption.

If your network isn’t protected by the latest security technologies, you’re leaving your business wide open for attack. Eliminate the risk with scalable, turnkey IntelliSecure managed security and unified threat management (UTM) services.

When you’re ready to go beyond the basics, getting help from a Managed Service Provider (MSP) will ensure data and network security at a higher level.
