What Are The Most Pressing IT Concerns For Businesses In Reno?

Good evening, Reno! I’m Sarah Jones reporting live from downtown Reno where I recently sat down with Scott Morris, the esteemed IT Specialist at Reno Computer Services (RCS). We delved into the current technological landscape and uncovered what keeps Reno businesses up at night when it comes to their IT infrastructure.

Cyber Security

“Cybersecurity is paramount,” asserts Morris. “Just last week, I helped a local restaurant recover from a ransomware attack that crippled their online ordering system for two days. Consequently, they lost significant revenue and had to deal with frustrated customers. It was a harsh lesson learned.”

Morris emphasizes the importance of multi-layered security measures, including strong passwords, regular software updates, and employee training on phishing scams. “Remember,” he cautions, “your employees are often the first line of defense against cyber threats.”

Data Security

Building upon cybersecurity, Morris stresses the crucial role data security plays in protecting sensitive information. “Notwithstanding the size of a business, every organization handles valuable data – customer records, financial information, proprietary intellectual property,” he explains.

“Implementing robust data encryption methods and access controls is essential to safeguard this information from unauthorized access.” He further recommends businesses consider data loss prevention solutions to prevent sensitive data from leaving the network.

Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution

Morris recounts a story about assisting a local non-profit organization that lost years of critical donation records due to a server failure. “It was heartbreaking,” he shares, “they were relying on outdated backup methods and hadn’t tested their recovery plan in years.”

Accordingly, Morris strongly advocates for comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solutions. He recommends businesses adopt a 3-2-1 approach: three copies of data, on two different media types, with one copy offsite. “Regular testing of your disaster recovery plan is equally crucial to ensure you can quickly restore operations in the event of an unforeseen incident.”
