Did you know that 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses?

At NSG, we believe IT goes beyond rebooting computers or reinstalling software. Our job is to keep your systems running smoothly and secure. That means:

Robust Backups: Ensuring your data is safe and recoverable, no matter what.

  • Disaster Recovery Plans: Preparing your business to bounce back from outages or attacks.
  • Antivirus and Firewalls: Blocking threats before they strike.
  • System Patching and Monitoring: Keeping your tech up to date to close security gaps.

A Tale of Two Roles: IT and Cybersecurity

Did you know that many IT providers overlook basic cybersecurity measures?

Recently, we spoke with a cybersecurity company looking for “boots on the ground” to implement their recommendations for clients. They explained, “We aren’t IT guys – we focus on cybersecurity. We ensure businesses have firewalls, backups, disaster recovery plans, and antivirus software.”

Funny thing is, at NSG, we are IT guys – and we do all those things, too, alongside our broader IT services. Their comment sparked a realization: not all cybersecurity experts are IT professionals, and definitely not all IT professionals are cybersecurity experts.

We’ve interviewed countless IT candidates with years of experience who know little about backups, disaster recovery, or protecting clients from viruses, ransomware, or malware. In today’s threat landscape, that’s a gap businesses can’t afford.

Is your team informed about best cybersecurity practice?

Even the best technology can't fully protect against human error, which is why Huntress' Managed Security Awareness Training is a cornerstone of our partnership. This engaging, story-driven program transforms employees into your first line of defense by teaching them to recognize and respond to cyber threats.

Engaging and Memorable Content: Unlike traditional training programs, Huntress SAT uses relatable, episodic storytelling featuring characters like DeeDee, a mischievous "hacker" who challenges users with real-world scenarios. This approach keeps learners engaged and helps them retain critical security knowledge.

Realistic Phishing Simulations: Huntress designs phishing tests based on current, real-world threats, allowing employees to practice identifying suspicious emails in a safe environment. Automated reporting tracks progress, highlighting areas for improvement and celebrating successes.

Customizable and Hassle-Free: NSG and Huntress make it easy to deploy and manage SAT. Whether you prefer a fully managed experience or want to customize training with your branding, the platform is flexible and user-friendly, saving your team time and effort.

Building a Security Culture: By fostering a shared responsibility for cybersecurity, Huntress SAT helps create a vigilant workforce. Employees learn to spot phishing, social engineering, and other threats, reducing the risk of costly mistakes.
