How Can Small Businesses in Reno Ensure Data Security?

Good evening, Reno! I’m Susan Miller reporting live from the heart of our bustling city. Today we’re talking to Scott Morris, a local IT specialist with Reno Computer Services (RCS), about a topic crucial for every small business owner: data security.

Cyber Security

Scott, thank you for joining us tonight. Many small business owners in Reno might think data security is something only large corporations need to worry about. Is that true?

“Not at all,” Scott asserts. “Small businesses are often prime targets for cybercriminals because they may lack the robust security measures in place that larger companies have.” He goes on to explain how RCS helps local businesses implement multi-layered security solutions, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and employee training on best practices like identifying phishing emails.

Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution

You mentioned phishing emails. Those can be pretty convincing! What happens if a business in Reno does fall victim to a cyberattack?

“That’s where a solid backup and disaster recovery plan comes in,” Scott explains. “Consequently, we work with our clients to develop customized solutions that ensure critical data is regularly backed up and can be quickly restored in the event of a breach or system failure.”

Data Security

I remember last year when a local bakery here in Reno lost all their customer orders due to a ransomware attack. It was heartbreaking to see them struggle to recover.

“That’s a prime example of why data security is so important,” Scott says, his voice filled with empathy. “Moreover, we help our clients encrypt sensitive data, implement access controls, and regularly assess their systems for vulnerabilities.” He emphasizes that proactive measures are key to protecting against the ever-evolving threat landscape.

According to a recent report by the Ponemon Institute, 60% of small businesses close within six months of experiencing a cyberattack. That’s a sobering statistic, and it underscores the need for businesses in Reno to prioritize data security.

Scott, what advice would you give to a small business owner just starting out in Reno who wants to ensure their data is protected?

“Start by contacting RCS,” Scott smiles. “We offer free consultations to help businesses assess their current security posture and develop a tailored plan that meets their unique needs. Remember, your data is valuable – protect it!”
