All right…admit it. Who hasn’t wanted to go all Office Space on a misbehaving copier once or twice in their professional career? We’ve heard the desperation in peoples’ voices as they call our office begging for help with one of those rogue printers that showed up on someone’s desk and randomly decides to spew madness. So we thought we’d have a little fun with the idea and kick it up a notch in our Kansas City office while doing a bit of good for our local community with our 2nd Annual Worst Copier in KC event. Our aim was twofold: raise some serious cash for BIGGSteps for Cancer Prevention & replace KC's worst copier with a new Canon MFP valued at $10,000 plus 2 full years of copies and service at a local business in desperate need of a new copier.

Thinking you’re not at risk because you’re a small company is, unfortunately, a thought you can’t afford to have – 61% of all cyber-attacks target small businesses! They want your personal information, your keystrokes, your employee records, and more. Don’t give them the opportunity.

 Most businesses are aware of the different forms of cyber attacks. When it comes to keeping your business protected from an attack, one of the first steps you can take is to educate your employees about online safety. Employee education is a great step in preventing phishing emails. Yet, did you know that there is a similar attack out there and they are looking right at your senior management?

As a business owner, your focus is to ensure that your business systems and data are secure from threats. There are many ways to make that level of information security happen. You may find yourself asking, what is the best way? Which solution will provide the most return on your investment? Would it be a new firewall? Fresh antivirus and anti-malware apps to protect against cyber attacks? Actually, the answer might surprise you. The best return on your invested dollars is to help educate your end users. One ignorant end user can bring down your entire infrastructure no matter what you might have invested.

The 2018 Winter Olympics fell victim to a cyberattack before the games even had the chance to begin. Malware that has been dubbed the “Olympic Destroyer” affected Friday’s Winter Olympics opening ceremony.

The past few months, we have discussed the “IT” problem. It’s well-known that the biggest security risk for a company is its people.

The need for IT support for any business is inevitable, but which type of IT services is right for you?
