Nick Polce, IT Insights’ New CTO, Talks Cybersecurity

About Nick

With almost 20 years of experience in IT Managed Services, Nick has held various positions, from helpdesk support to chief solutions and network engineer. He has worked in multiple sectors, including manufacturing, education, healthcare, nonprofits, and government organizations. Nick holds a Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunication Engineering and a Master’s in Cybersecurity and Computer Forensics. In this update, Nick discusses cybersecurity and IT Insights’ data and system security strategy.

WHY CYBERSECURITY MATTERS

Gone are the days of hackers operating from their parents’ basements. Today’s attacks are organized and well-funded. Hackers even have business hours and benefits. It’s alarming, especially because they don’t discriminate targets. While you’re growing your business, bad actors constantly try to breach your security, and one successful attempt can be catastrophic. Sadly, to stay ahead, you need to beat them every time.

Who It Affects

These cyber terrorists use a generic and wide-scoped attack instead of a highly targeted attack because if they cast a wide net, every organization is at risk. Thinking you’re too small a fish simply isn’t true. In fact, most attacks target small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) simply because there are more of them.

Moreover, according to Forbes, 99 percent of companies in the United States are SMBs. Most of these have 19 or fewer employees, meaning few have a dedicated IT pro on staff, and it is even less likely they employ a cybersecurity specialist. From an attacker’s perspective, the numbers are in their favor.

HOW IT INSIGHTS APPROACHES CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity is the foundation for every solution we develop, implement, and support. At IT Insights, we meticulously choose our services and tools to help clients operate safely without worrying about cyber-attacks.

Security technologies evolve rapidly to respond to the ever-changing threat landscape. So, we also take staying up to date with the latest trends very seriously and continuously evaluate our security portfolio.

As a result, we have established three levels of protection for our clients to select from. We like to call this the IT Insights’ security stack. This cost-effective approach enables our clients to maintain secure systems that remain competitively priced and meet their needs.

How We Train Our Staff

Our employees are crucial for IT Insights and our clients. We are proud of the talented team providing excellent customer service. That’s why we support continuing education, training sessions, and hands-on labs. We also encourage our team to stay up to date on industry trends and attend cybersecurity conferences.
