Business Managed IT Maintenance or Break/Fix

Infrastructure, Network Security

In this day and age, almost all businesses rely on computer technology and many now rely on technologies like cloud computing. Think of how much simpler things like cloud storage make sharing files with an entire organization.

All of the benefits that come from computer technologies also come with a list of drawbacks; i.e.: skill set and the cost of that skill set are at the top of the list. With so many technology choices, layered with the need to protect your data, many times you can’t rely on your own knowhow to diagnose computer problems, for one. That means you must rely on the in-house expertise of your technology department or third-party service providers.

Tips to Begin a Cybersecurity Career

cybersecurity, education, Staffing

I have worked in the cybersecurity space for about 14 years now. I found my way into cybersecurity from being a network engineer who needed to fill a technology gap on my then team – as a security subject matter expert.

I have been approached over the years by folks looking to begin a career in cybersecurity and/or gain a much deeper appreciation of this field. There are many reasons for these inquiries and it’s not necessarily for the paycheck alone. It’s a role that comes with an incredible amount of responsibility and brings immense value to any organization. I know that for myself, helping organizations better secure their business assets, and as such- their overall business, makes me feel a sense of gratitude and accomplishment for my investment in time and experience to learn this craft.
