Mobile Device Security

Your laptop and cell phone are two tech-savvy and indispensable pieces of technology. They allow you to keep in touch with family and friends, surf the net, pay bills, research and create documents and so much more. These devices are intuitive and are becoming smarter each day. While your mobile devices are becoming smarter, they are also more susceptible to identity theft, loss, viruses, and loopholes that may compromise their security. While wanting to keep your mobile devices convenient, you do not want to sacrifice confidentiality.

Theft

Laptops and mobile phones especially are small and portable. They can be stolen. Therefore, it is important to keep your mobile devices safe from others. Having your cell phone stolen is inconvenient, however, it is more dangerous for your identity or personal information to be stolen from the phone. While the physical phone can be replaced, the sensitive and personal information may not be. Circumventing a password or lock is a trivial task for a seasoned attacker who can access encrypted data. Forensic data retrieval allows data to even be recovered from mobile devices after being deleted or undergoing a reset.

Malicious Code

Hackers trick you into accepting what they are selling. These hackers social engineer and create malware threats using spam and other malicious links on social media sites. Android and PC products are at the most risk since they are widely used and easy to develop software for. This malware is designed to steal data over the WI-FI or mobile phone networks.

Your business faces many Security Concerns

Internal attacks from within the company. These attacks can be malicious but are often unintentional.
External threats launched by foreign or domestic cyber attacks. These attacks could be virus related or a way to discover personal information through hacking.
Government Compliance; Sarbanes Oxley Act, Gramm Leach Biley, and HIPAA Compliance are making IT security a legal requirement.

Mobile Device Management

Mobile device management ensures employees do not breach corporate policies by controlling their activities and securing emails and corporate documents. Businesses can reduce costs by controlling and protecting data and configuration settings on its mobile devices. Adding encryption or geo-tracking provides an extra layer of security.

Full Disk Encryption

Full disk encryption is technology that converts information into an unreadable code, therefore protecting it from being easily understood, deciphered or stolen. Every bit of data that in on the disk will be encrypted preventing unauthorized access. There is also the transparent encryption method that automatically encrypts and decrypts as it is loaded or saved.

Managed IT Services

Information technology is about so much more than software and hardware. These days it is integrated into every aspect of your business and is a core component of maintaining your operations. You also utilize IT to communicate with everyone from your staff to your customers and vendors.

Office Locations We Manage

We provide numerous solution for our clients, ensuring that everyone who uses us gets the service that they need.

1. South Florida Locations – Many of our clients are located within driving distance of our West Palm Beach office. We drive to locations as far north as Port St. Lucie and as far south as Coral Gables. If your office is in this area, we can drive out to it whenever you need service.

2. South Florida Offices, with Additional Location Around the Globe – When our clients have offices in both South Florida and in other locations, we take a two-pronged approach to IT management. We can travel as far as 1.5 hours to provide local support as needed, and we can also manage other systems remotely. We will require some minor help from a person at the location when we remote in, but we will talk the on-site person through any steps necessary to fix a problem.

3. Located Anywhere – We have clients located all around the globe who do not require any on-site assistance. These clients might be as close as South Florida or as far as China. We take care of everything remotely for these clients. The company’s employees assist us with basic support duties, and for complicated projects, we find a local provider to take care of the issue. For instance, if one of our remote clients requires a new electrical outlet for a network cable, we will find a reputable vendor close by. We will coordinate the entire project and get approval before moving forward.

If you are a remote client, we can travel to your location once a year, if needed. However, this is typically not necessary, as most projects can be managed remotely.
