A financial planning firm with satellite offices in three other states needed to transform their infrastructure to boost Cyber Security. After a recent ransomware attack, they were desperate for a solution to secure their network.
Challenge
Each of their offices had on-site servers and backup devices. Too many employees were compromising their network with personal use – web surfing, social media sites and shopping, etc. Their IT manager did not have the expertise or time to address their growing cyber security concerns. They were forced to find a long-term solution when an employee opened an email that brought down their network for four days. Imagine their financial planners having to assure clients their finances were still secure?
Solution
We introduced them to a Managed Service Provider that was able to rapidly identify the threat and restore their network. The MSP quickly created a plan to virtualize their entire network, provide NextGen firewalls to all locations, implementing tighter access controls and an ongoing management program. For the same cost of hiring an additional IT employee, they now had an entire team of Cyber Security experts managing their network 24/7/365. No holidays, vacations or sick days to delay prompt actions when a threat was identified. In addition, they implemented a training program to help employees guard against phishing.
