On one hand, it’s critical for Marketing. On the other, it can be\na major time suck. You\'ll have to walk a fine line of utilizing the main\nplayers like Facebook and Instagram, alongside other lesser known\nsocial-related platforms to evolve your business and increase communication and\nproductivity amongst employees and clients. We\'re not going to spend time in\nthis blog giving you a large how-to of using each of these platforms, but we\nwill get you started down the right path with the correct technology. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Customer\nService</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While\nnothing can replace a human voice, sometimes, utilizing social technology can\nmassively improve your customer service. Start with simple tools like the\nFacebook Messenger autoresponder. Whenever someone messages you on Facebook,\nthey immediately receive a response acknowledging their message in addition to\nexpectations for further interaction. This allows you to be continually\nresponsive without constantly sitting on Facebook. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you’re\nready to take it a step further, consider specific customer service profiles on\nFacebook and Twitter. You’ll need to be able to clearly track customers’\ncomplaints and rants, but quickly showing up in response on these social\nprofiles will make a big difference. <a href=\"https://blog.hubspot.com/service/customer-service-tweets\">Check out</a> how these companies do Twitter\nsupport very well. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Finally,\nconsider a chat mechanism on your website. A whole generation of customers is\nrising that much prefers chatting online to getting on the phone. You don’t\nhave to constantly manage this service. You can either set office hours or\noutsource to a third party to start and triage conversations. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Utilizing\nthese techniques, your office manager and customer service team can get off the\nphone and answer questions through a social platform while they are working on\nother items creating greater efficiency.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Communication</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Communication\nbetween employees can also be enhanced with social platforms. For example,\nMicrosoft Office 365 offers Teams, a software for messaging, video\nconferencing, calls, and screen sharing. Instead of walking all the way to\nsomeone’s office or trying to multitask while waiting for answers, you can type\nin a name and send a message to anyone in the company. It cuts time in half;\nyou get quick on the spot response or support.&nbsp;\nWhen employees are working remotely, they can still communicate\neffectively with anyone in the office utilizing a screen share and video to\nmake their message clear. Something like this will also allow you to eliminate\nother video conferencing software for a more complete, all-in-one solution\nsaving time, training, and money. Your IT company can point you in the right\ndirection when it comes to implementing a software like this. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Morale</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Finally,\nsocial media, social tools, and social platforms are all shown to increase\nmorale within a business. They are allowing employees to streamline their jobs\nwithout the stress and hassle of attempting to collaborate with different\npeople via email or an office visit. It also shows them that you trust them to\nuse these things on work time and not abuse the privilege. Taking a small break\nto check Facebook or network with a client makes a surprising difference in the\nworkplace.

Virtual Events/Streaming: Events organizers across the country are cancelling, postponing, or moving events online. Technology allows these events to continue without major hiccups.

However, it’s not as simple as sending your employees home, firing up personal laptops and getting back to work. Here are seven things you need to have lined up in order to successfully deploy your remote workforce.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>1. Secure Remote Access: Employees should not have open access to everything on their work systems from their personal computers. This keeps company data protected. In order to be productive through this pandemic, however, employers will need to provide a secure connection utilizing VPN or <a href=\"http://magnitech.com/magnicloud/\">remote access software</a>. These solutions will mirror the employee’s work desktop without housing all of the data on the individual’s personal system, allowing them to seamlessly continue work.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>2. File Sharing Capabilities: While people will be working in isolation, they must still be able to collaborate. File sharing/group editing software will be critical to moving forward creative or documentation projects through real-time editing, commenting, and versioning. Software like Dropbox for Business, Microsoft Teams/Sharepoint or Google Documents fill this need securely.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>3. Enterprise Level Antivirus: Basic home-level antivirus is not sufficient, particularly in secured industries. Extend your enterprise-level antivirus to home systems that will be accessing your network to create an added layer of protection. You may also consider deploying firewalls on top of individual’s home networks to create the same secure connection employees experience in your office.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>4. Video Conferencing: Meetings must go on while people work remote; however, voice-only leaves much to be desired in terms of tone and context. We highly recommend putting in place video conferencing options. You can implement something as simple as Google Duo/FaceTime, or something more feature intensive, like Zoom or GoTo Meeting.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>5. Messaging Software: You can’t just spin your chair around to talk to your co-worker when working remote, yet it’s not efficient to always pick up the phone. We recommend implementing a messaging software like Microsoft Teams or Slack to open communication channels and allow employees to continue to interact quickly and accurately. Utilizing these tools, you can set up one-on-one conversations or set up channels to facilitate team communication.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>6. Phone: A strong VoIP solution will allow employees to take their phone numbers remote to their cellphones without giving out their cellphone numbers. Office calls will transfer seamlessly to the employee’s cellphones, voice mails will be sent via email, and the employee can dial-out using a phone application to maintain office functionality.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>7. Remote Access Policy: Prior to providing access to your employees, put in place a clear access policy that acknowledges that your company monitors whatever they do while connected.

As more companies are sending their employees to work from home, we compiled this list of tips to be successful away from the office.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>1. Reliable Internet: Nothing is more frustrating than having spotty Internet, especially when you’re trying to work on a big project through a remote access connection to your work computer. Most Internet packages available today will be fine. However, you might need to curb ancillary access of the Internet, like streaming and gaming, if you’re trying to do something more than upload and download documents. If your Internet seems slow, shut down and restart your router/modem. This can sometimes speed things up for a while.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>2. Good Computer Hygiene: You know that “It’s time to update” pop-up that you’ve been avoiding for weeks? Take the time to update. This is most likely handled automatically by your IT team at the office, but your home system may be woefully behind, curbing your speed, as well as opening up unnecessary security holes. We recommend applying security patches as they are released, and keeping your computer up to date. Not sure if there are updates available? You can check in your computer’s control panel. You can also try simply restarting your system. Often, the updates will kick into gear.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>To maximize effectiveness, watch the number of programs you’re attempting to run and browser windows you have open at any given time. Computers are not great multi-taskers, instead regularly switching between a multitude of processes (the instructions behind your applications) to complete commands. In fact, the number of processors in your system is the maximum number of things your computer can be “working” on at once, so if you’re seeing a drop-off in performance, take a moment to close a few programs not actively in use.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>3. Connect Securely: In order to protect your business, don’t just install Microsoft Outlook on your personal computer and proceed to work as usual. Instead, connect through remote access software or VPN. This will allow you in to your traditional work desktop without risking business data in an open atmosphere. Consult with your IT team to review their plan for remote access as well as enterprise-grade antivirus before beginning remote work.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>4. Establish Routine: When you go into the office, you have a clear routine. You come in, grab a cup of coffee, banter with your co-workers for a few minutes, sit down at your desk, and get to business. While it may be appealing to work in your pajamas, try to maintain as much normalcy as possible. Stick with a clear starting time and work schedule. Create an office space so that you’re not just piled up on the couch. Plan to get dressed and ready for the day, just like you’re going into the office.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>5. Over-communicate: You may find yourself feeling isolated pretty quickly when working from home. This is likely because you’re missing out on the short interactions and general banter with your colleagues. We highly recommend setting up a daily touch-base with your team in order to discuss priorities, work through sticking points, and to simply connect with other human beings. Don’t be afraid to send more progress emails than normal. Utilize messaging apps liberally, and don’t underestimate the power of a video chat or meeting. If an email exchange is getting too longer (more than three replies back and forth without solving the problem) pick up the phone.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Working from home can be an extremely powerful tool. When done right you can be as productive, if not more so than at the office. Enjoy the opportunity presented by COVID-19 concerns to establish a new work normal, at least for a short period of time. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->', '5 Tips for Successfully Working From Home', 'As more companies are sending their employees to work from home, we compiled this list of tips to be successful away from the office.', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2949-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-05-12 17:13:34', '2020-05-12 17:13:34', '', 2949, 'http://magnitech.com/2949-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

This pandemic has permanently changed our work environment, whether you’re already back in the office or remain in quarantine for several more weeks. We must create a new normal for how we work, manage network security, and maintain productivity across a more widespread team.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For example, a client earlier this week asked with their employees working from home, how are they supposed to ensure HIPAA compliance?

No personal systems. If you allow your staff to utilize their personal systems to work, store company data, and interact with customers, you’re just asking for a data breach. First, you have no control over that system. You can’t log in to perform updates, ensure it has the latest virus definitions, or wipe it if they left the company or were terminated. Second, they are probably not running the strongest virus protection, intrusion prevention, and monitoring. Supply systems that meet minimum standards.

This pandemic has permanently changed our work environment, whether you’re already back in the office or remain in quarantine for several more weeks. We must create a new normal for how we work, manage network security, and maintain productivity across a more widespread team.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For example, a client earlier this week asked with their employees working from home, how are they supposed to ensure HIPAA compliance?

No personal systems. If you allow your staff to utilize their personal systems to work, store company data, and interact with customers, you’re just asking for a data breach. First, you have no control over that system. You can’t log in to perform updates, ensure it has the latest virus definitions, or wipe it if they left the company or were terminated. Second, they are probably not running the strongest virus protection, intrusion prevention, and monitoring. Supply systems that meet minimum standards.

When you’re in the thick of it, sometimes it’s hard to come up with something good; but it sets a positive tone for the meeting and allows you to get to know a little bit more about your staff. We also encourage shenanigans more than usual.

This pandemic has permanently changed our work environment, whether you’re already back in the office or remain in quarantine for several more weeks. We must create a new normal for how we work, manage network security, and maintain productivity across a more widespread team.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For example, a client earlier this week asked with their employees working from home, how are they supposed to ensure HIPAA compliance? What if someone innocently leaves the computer screen open, or takes a note with a patient’s name and walks away from the notebook? Here’s how we recommend redefining work parameters to create the greatest opportunity for compliance and security in all work situations.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>1. No personal systems. If you allow your staff to utilize their personal systems to work, store company data, and interact with customers, you’re just asking for a data breach. First, you have no control over that system. You can’t log in to perform updates, ensure it has the latest virus definitions, or wipe it if they left the company or were terminated. Second, they are probably not running the strongest virus protection, intrusion prevention, and monitoring. Supply systems that meet minimum standards. Some companies have sent employees home with their work equipment. As long as it’s properly documented, this is a safer bet than letting someone go rogue (intentionally or unintentionally) on an un-managed personal machine.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>2. Clear Expectations. Set clear expectations for their work setup and communicate clearly. For example:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>· Can they utilize their cell phone for business calls or do they need a VoIP/softphone tied into your network?</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>· How often do you expect them to check in on a daily basis?</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>· If you can’t get a hold of them immediately, how long do they have to respond?</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>· Can they attend meetings via phone, or is video required?</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>· How do they connect to your secure information? VPN? Firewall?</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>3. Signed Employee Agreement. Whether you expect remote work to be a temporary situation or believe it’s a permanent shift, put in place a clear remote worker agreement. It should lay out all of the expectations that we listed above. If you’re expecting employees back in the office, reiterate the temporary nature of the arrangement. If it’s a trial, state that. Working from home is one of those things that seems really appealing at the beginning, but depending on the worker, it may or may not be effective. As the employer, you want to maintain the option to bring them back into the office, if necessary.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>4. Regular Communication. We recommend having a scheduled touchpoint – video, phone, email recap, something that is scheduled and required for each and every employee, whether they’re on-site or remote. You cannot underestimate the power of water cooler conversation throughout the day, so you need to find some way to replace that in order to keep your employees engaged and effective.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>5. Effective Administration. Ultimately, adapting to this new normal is all about effective administration. Have the right policies in place, communicate the standards and expectations, follow-up with your employees, <a href=\"http://magnitech.com/contact/\">partner with an MSP that specializes</a> in creating secure, remote workspaces.

On one hand, it’s critical for Marketing. On the other, it can be\na major time suck. You\'ll have to walk a fine line of utilizing the main\nplayers like Facebook and Instagram, alongside other lesser known\nsocial-related platforms to evolve your business and increase communication and\nproductivity amongst employees and clients. We\'re not going to spend time in\nthis blog giving you a large how-to of using each of these platforms, but we\nwill get you started down the right path with the correct technology. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Customer\nService</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While\nnothing can replace a human voice, sometimes, utilizing social technology can\nmassively improve your customer service. Start with simple tools like the\nFacebook Messenger autoresponder. Whenever someone messages you on Facebook,\nthey immediately receive a response acknowledging their message in addition to\nexpectations for further interaction. This allows you to be continually\nresponsive without constantly sitting on Facebook. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you’re ready to take it a step further, consider specific customer service profiles on Facebook and Twitter. You’ll need to be able to clearly track customers’ complaints and rants, but quickly showing up in response on these social profiles will make a big difference.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Finally,\nconsider a chat mechanism on your website. A whole generation of customers is\nrising that much prefers chatting online to getting on the phone. You don’t\nhave to constantly manage this service. You can either set office hours or\noutsource to a third party to start and triage conversations. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Utilizing\nthese techniques, your office manager and customer service team can get off the\nphone and answer questions through a social platform while they are working on\nother items creating greater efficiency.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Communication</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Communication between employees can also be enhanced with social platforms. For example, <a href=\"http://magnitech.com/magnicloud/office-365/\">Microsoft Office 365 offers Teams</a>, a software for messaging, video conferencing, calls, and screen sharing. Instead of walking all the way to someone’s office or trying to multitask while waiting for answers, you can type in a name and send a message to anyone in the company. It cuts time in half; you get quick on the spot response or support.  When employees are working remotely, they can still communicate effectively with anyone in the office utilizing a screen share and video to make their message clear. Something like this will also allow you to eliminate other video conferencing software for a more complete, all-in-one solution saving time, training, and money. <a href=\"http://magnitech.com\">Your IT company</a> can point you in the right direction when it comes to implementing a software like this. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Contact us today if you have any questions about setting up Microsoft Office 365 or Teams for your business.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->', 'Social Media in Business', 'Figuring out how to effectively utilize social media within your business can be a tricky task.

As your business has grown, though, you likely have needed to delegate many of your previous duties, like IT — even if you feel perfectly capable of handling them yourself. After all, when do you think was the last time Jeff Bezos packaged a shipment? Your IT needs have also likely grown much more complex.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you don’t choose to delegate now, you fall into a major pitfall of leaving IT duties unassigned. In our current landscape, leaving an IT post open could be a death wish. Cyber attacks of all types are on the rise, and the amount of damage each one could impose is ballooning. For example, in 2016, the average ransomware attacker demanded $522. In 2020, that average sits around $84,000!

But then the other shoe drops.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Just like any other employee, before you hire someone for your IT needs, you have to consider the costs.

Far from it!</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Where is this person going to work? Maybe you already have space for them, but these professionals require more expensive hardware and monitor setups. Additionally, you need to factor in the network diagnostic software plus any industry-specific software. Since they’ll generally be on call, they’ll need a phone with a good plan so you can always reach them and possibly a company car (or at least some form of vehicle reimbursement) if you have multiple locations. Don’t forget that expense account!</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Besides the specific expenses mentioned above, remember that this person is still an employee, so you have all the other general costs your other employees have associated with them.

When they break, need maintenance, or require warranty replacement, the IT person interacts with the vendor. Oftentimes, they’re responsible for communicating between multiple vendors that frequently point fingers at each other. The IT person spends a great deal of time sorting out the underlying issues, determining what’s really wrong, and implementing a fix.

Also, what does this have to do with this series’ theme of&nbsp;hiring an IT tech?</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong>Break-fix Model: Let’s Break the Cycle</strong></h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>When a company grows and gets larger, certain things that used to seem important get pushed to the back burner. Some companies may even change their model and service style after rapid growth and incorporate the break-fix model. The break-fix model is also sometimes used due to having lower resources. These are usually issues that don’t have immediate ramifications. Unfortunately, this often includes technology, such as computers, servers or copiers, as well as software. While there’s no built-in self-destruct date on these machines or programs, just because you&nbsp;<em>can</em>&nbsp;use something doesn’t mean that you&nbsp;<em>should</em>&nbsp;use it.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Many of us have computers that we may have used for close to a decade. But have you ever had a computer suddenly die on you? Or what about needing a software upgrade, but your hardware can’t handle it? These have happened to all of us at some point. While it might be an inconvenience on a personal level, it can be devastating for a business. Equipment going down unexpectedly can mean a massive loss of productivity or worse, loss of precious data.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Despite this, many still choose to rely on replacing equipment only when it breaks. This puts you at the mercy of whatever the items costs the moment you need it. You might be able to find a sale, but more than likely, you’ll end up paying the full retail price. If you choose to replace all equipment of a regular schedule, you can end up getting volume discounts.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Let’s use some general numbers here. Suppose a workstation costs $1000 per employee.If you have 25 employees that $25,000 to replace all the workstations. If you buy everything at once, you’ll end up getting a volume discount. In this case, we’ll go with a 20% discount. That would be a savings of $5,000 to replace equipment that you would already have to replace anyway — or $5,000 wasted in purchasing one by one. Not only that, but you would have no idea how much you would be paying on a monthly or yearly basis if you replace one by one. One month you could be paying $0 and the next $5,000.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong>Not So Easy Break-fix!</strong></h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Naturally, there’s a lot more involved in replacing equipment that signing a check. For starters, when would you need to replace the hardware? Where would you purchase it? How are you going to negotiate the volume pricing? What kind of equipment do you actually need? How do you budget this out? Who’s going to go to swap out the equipment? What do you do with the old equipment once it’s replaced?</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Your IT department or outsourced MSP typically handles these concerns. While the equipment in question is crucial to operations, you most likely don’t have someone with the qualifications or bandwidth to figure all of this out. That’s what an IT professional does. This is a reason that it doesn’t make financial sense not to have some sort of IT tech.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong>Spending Dollars Can Make Sense</strong></h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As we’ve already mentioned, holding out to make purchases only when they’re absolutely necessary can end up costing you a ton in the long run. It’s logical to make sure you have someone consistently addressing your IT needs before there are issues. In the first article in this series, though, we showed how it makes the most financial sense to&nbsp;consider using an MSP&nbsp;over an in-house IT tech or a whole department.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Beyond the factors of salary, insurance and other expenses related to that employee, you also have to consider how an MSP can save you money in different ways. For example, you wouldn’t be their only customer, which means that their purchasing power is much stronger, giving you a better volume pricing. While you may only need 25 computers, that MSP might be purchasing 100 between you and their other customers, so they can negotiate a much better discount.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Also, a good MSP will replace all hardware and software not up to standard at the beginning of your contract. While this might seem like a financial shock at first, it saves you in the long run. If your MSP knows every single piece of your equipment, then future upgrades or repairs will be fast and within budget.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Another great advantage is being able to budget. Replacing your equipment only as it breaks can lead to extreme un-budgeted fluctuations in your IT expenses. When you hire an MSP, you know what you’ll be paying monthly and yearly.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Break Free from the Cycle</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you’re tired of being stuck in the same old break-fix cycle: contact us today!

Cyber threats are not only growing by the day, but they’re also changing. Being up to date is no longer an issue of merely updating your antivirus software.&nbsp; Unfortunately, many of the attacks we see are the result of someone falling asleep at the wheel. Hackers are continuing to innovate new ways to get to their targets cause damage.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The best way for IT professionals to make themselves useful in this regard is to not only update software and the network but to educate the rest of the company on ways to keep from being the accidental cause of a data breach. This crisis prevention is one of the most important and proactive jobs for a successful IT professional.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>The Sad Truth</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>You may have noticed the number of duties in this article outside of fixing broken technology. If it seems like way too much work for one person, that’s because it is. To fulfill all of the responsibilities of a responsible IT professional, you would need to have multiple people with a variety of skill sets. Of course, this adds to the expense of a department that’s supposed to help you keep costs down and simplify operations.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For this and other reasons, many companies turn to MSPs for their IT needs. You have access to a team of professionals that not only have the expertise needed to do the job of an in-house IT department, but also have the time, opportunity, and personnel to stay up to date on the latest developments.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Do you find your business needing more assistance with your IT? Have you thought about hiring an IT professional or outsourcing those duties? If the answer to these questions is yes, then contact us today to see how we can maximize efficiency while giving you one less headache to worry about.

The scary part about malvertising is hackers can insert these malicious advertisements into legitimate webpages, making them all the more difficult to spot.\n\nNot only are the ads difficult to spot, but they are difficult to regulate and control as well. Large numbers of these ads are spread throughout advertising networks daily. This is makes is very difficult for networks to perform thorough analysis of every ad. Often, companies rely on third party vendors or software to manage their online ads. This is make it even more difficult to spot every ad and manage what is being put out into the online world.\n<h4>How does it work?</h4>\nA small piece of code is hidden deep within a legitimate looking advertisement, which will direct the user\'s machine to a compromised server. An exploit kid hosted on that server will execute once the users device makes a successful connection. The hacker can then install malware using a security bypass created by the exploit kit. When malware is successfully installed, it opens a world of opportunity and data to the hacker. A hacker could perform numerous actions such as extracting sensitive or financial information. The worst part of it all; this entire process happens incognito. The user has no idea their device is infected.\n\nOf course, there are ways to spot malware, and certain things you can look for when you think your device may be infected. We go over <a href=\"http://magnitech.com/2018/10/15/mischievous-malware/\">mischievous malware here</a>.\n<h4>Who has been infected?</h4>\nAnyone can fall victim to malvertising. In fact, some major companies have been previously infected with malvertising such as Reuters, The Daily Mail, and Huffington Post.\n\nLet\'s look at <a href=\"https://www.tripwire.com/state-of-security/latest-security-news/malvertising-campaign-hits-the-huffington-post-through-aol-ad-network/\">Huffington Post</a> as an example. The attackers use a mix of HTTP and HTTPS redirects to hide the malicious servers in the attack. The analysis was extremely difficult, and it was difficult to uncover the hidden malware.\n\nResearchers suspected attackers used the NeutrinoEK exploit kit or the Sweet Orange exploit kit, which served Adobe Flash and VB script exploits to then download the malicious executable, known as the Kovter trojan.\n\nIn the end, it was confirmed that the company took all necessary steps to clear up the cyber threat.\n<h4>What can you do to avoid malvertising?</h4>\nAvoiding a cyber threat like malvertising is quite difficult due to its inconspicuous nature, but there are things you can do to help prevent a cyber threat like malvertising.\n\nFirst of all, It is extremely important to have a reliable security solution in place. If you don\'t know where to start with this, talk to your IT provider to learn more about <a href=\"http://magnitech.com/magnitech/it-security/\">security options</a>.\n\nSecond, make sure to update your browser, software, and OS regularly. Developers are always releasing new versions of software to help battle new threats. Remember that the tech world changes daily, so keeping your computer up to date is very important.\n\nThird, avoid bad websites. Check to make sure websites are secure, and its a legitimate, well known company.\n\nFinally, do not click on sketchy advertisements. If you see something enticing in an advertisement, visit the website directly from your browser or call the company to make sure it is legit. Avoiding websites and bad ads wont always help you fight cyber threats, so its extremely important to keep up on updates to your computer/software and incorporate security solutions.\n\nIf you want to learn more about how Magnitech\'s security solutions, <a href=\"http://magnitech.com/contact/\">contact us</a> today!', 'Everything You Need to Know About Malvertising', 'Malvertising is a cyber threat found in malicious advertising.

Grandpa always said,&nbsp;<em>if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it</em>. While we love Grandpa, that truism isn’t always true. Just like&nbsp;<em>the customer is always right</em>&nbsp;and other similar expressions, simply because people have been saying something forever doesn’t make it correct.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Still wondering why the break-fix model doesn’t work?</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Break-fix fails: waiting to take action when something breaks before you fix it can end up being costly and disastrous in the long run. Where do we find the balance between upgrading routinely and only replacing when you have no choice? Also, what does this have to do with this series’ theme of&nbsp;hiring an IT tech?</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong>Break-fix Model: Let’s Break the Cycle</strong></h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>When a company grows and gets larger, certain things that used to seem important get pushed to the back burner. Some companies may even change their model and service style after rapid growth and incorporate the break-fix model. The break-fix model is also sometimes used due to having lower resources. These are usually issues that don’t have immediate ramifications. Unfortunately, this often includes technology, such as computers, servers or copiers, as well as software. While there’s no built-in self-destruct date on these machines or programs, just because you&nbsp;<em>can</em>&nbsp;use something doesn’t mean that you&nbsp;<em>should</em>&nbsp;use it.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Many of us have computers that we may have used for close to a decade. But have you ever had a computer suddenly die on you? Or what about needing a software upgrade, but your hardware can’t handle it? These have happened to all of us at some point. While it might be an inconvenience on a personal level, it can be devastating for a business. Equipment going down unexpectedly can mean a massive loss of productivity or worse, loss of precious data.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Despite this, many still choose to rely on replacing equipment only when it breaks. This puts you at the mercy of whatever the items costs the moment you need it. You might be able to find a sale, but more than likely, you’ll end up paying the full retail price. If you choose to replace all equipment of a regular schedule, you can end up getting volume discounts.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong>Not So Easy Break-fix!</strong></h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Naturally, there’s a lot more involved in replacing equipment that signing a check. For starters, when would you need to replace the hardware? Where would you purchase it? How are you going to negotiate the volume pricing? What kind of equipment do you actually need? How do you budget this out? Who’s going to go to swap out the equipment? What do you do with the old equipment once it’s replaced?</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Your IT department or outsourced MSP typically handles these concerns. While the equipment in question is crucial to operations, you most likely don’t have someone with the qualifications or bandwidth to figure all of this out. That’s what an IT professional does. This is a reason that it doesn’t make financial sense not to have some sort of IT tech.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong>Spending Dollars Can Make Sense</strong></h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As we’ve already mentioned, holding out to make purchases only when they’re absolutely necessary can end up costing you a ton in the long run. It’s logical to make sure you have someone consistently addressing your IT needs before there are issues. In the first article in this series, though, we showed how it makes the most financial sense to&nbsp;consider using an MSP&nbsp;over an in-house IT tech or a whole department.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Beyond the factors of salary, insurance and other expenses related to that employee, you also have to consider how an MSP can save you money in different ways. For example, you wouldn’t be their only customer, which means that their purchasing power is much stronger, giving you a better volume pricing. While you may only need 25 computers, that MSP might be purchasing 100 between you and their other customers, so they can negotiate a much better discount.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Also, a good <a href=\"http://magnitech.com/\">MSP</a> will replace all hardware and software not up to standard at the beginning of your contract. While this might seem like a financial shock at first, it saves you in the long run. If your MSP knows every single piece of your equipment, then future upgrades or repairs will be fast and within budget.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Another great advantage is being able to budget. Replacing your equipment only as it breaks can lead to extreme un-budgeted fluctuations in your IT expenses. When you hire an MSP, you know what you’ll be paying monthly and yearly.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Break Free from the Cycle</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you’re tired of being stuck in the same old break-fix cycle: <a href=\"http://magnitech.com/contact/\">contact us today! </a>We pride ourselves on helping our customers not only spend less by preparing for the future, but making sure there aren’t any gaps in productivity. Our experienced staff will go over your current system in detail. Then, they’ll create a comprehensive plan that makes sense for your business. We’ll make sure that that the only cycle you’re involved with includes your success!</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Security</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This is the elephant in the room right now. Cyber threats are not only growing by the day, but they’re also changing. Being up to date is no longer an issue of merely updating your antivirus software.&nbsp; Unfortunately, many of the attacks we see are the result of someone falling asleep at the wheel. Hackers are continuing to innovate new ways to get to their targets cause damage.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The best way for IT professionals to make themselves useful in this regard is to not only update software and the network but to educate the rest of the company on ways to keep from being the accidental cause of a data breach. This crisis prevention is one of the most important and proactive jobs for a successful IT professional.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>The Sad Truth</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>You may have noticed the number of duties in this article outside of fixing broken technology. If it seems like way too much work for one person, that’s because it is. To fulfill all of the responsibilities of a responsible IT professional, you would need to have multiple people with a variety of skill sets. Of course, this adds to the expense of a department that’s supposed to help you keep costs down and simplify operations.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For this and other reasons, many companies turn to MSPs for their IT needs. You have access to a team of professionals that not only have the expertise needed to do the job of an in-house IT department, but also have the time, opportunity, and personnel to stay up to date on the latest developments.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Do you find your business needing more assistance with your <a href=\"http://magnitech.com/magnitech/\">IT</a>?
