Why Monitoring and Maintenance Programs Are Essential

How are you keeping your network secure?

Are you relying 100% on your free antivirus for your business’s safety?

Relying solely on free antivirus software or irregular manual checks is like leaving your doors unlocked in a high-crime area. To truly protect your data, you must have a plan. 

Our clients who opt out of enrolling in our monitoring and maintenance plans say things like, 

“I’ll do it myself” 

“It’s too expensive” 

“I don’t need backups” 

While they have good intentions, 99% of the time life gets busy and they’re focused on growing their business, and this task tends to slip their minds. Before they know it, a year has gone by without any updates to their site and then we receive a panicked call that they have been hacked. 

The Cost of Recovery Far Exceeds the Investment of Prevention

You may think to yourself, “what’s the worst that could happen?” 

Well, the aftermath of a ransomware attacks involves not just financial losses, but also reputational damage and operational disruptions. Suddenly, the upfront expense of monitoring and maintenance plans pales in comparison to the potential consequences of not taking the proper precautions. 

Another analogy for this is closing the stable door after your horse has already bolted. Monitoring and maintenance programs offer a proactive approach by continuously evaluating your systems, updating defenses, and ensuring your back-ups are effective so your data remains safe.
