We Define IT Consulting

Does your business purchase tools in isolation, or do you make a concerted effort to purchase and implement solutions based on synergy? It might sound like a load of business mumbo-jumbo, but tools that work well together make your operations more functional and streamlined. To illustrate this, we have three seemingly disparate solutions: Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). While they might seem very different at first glance, the right combination of solutions can make a significant difference for your business.

We will be the first to admit it: we are obsessed with security.

In an era where cybercriminals are more sophisticated and persistent than ever, that obsession is a necessity. Modern security requires a fundamental shift in mindset: you cannot implicitly trust anyone. Not outside hackers, and—uncomfortable as it may be—not even the people inside your organization.

This trust-no-one approach is the foundation of Zero-Trust Security.

While still critical to get right, passwords aren’t nearly as secure as you would expect them to be. They can be guessed (especially if proper password practices haven’t been followed), stolen in data breaches, or phished from a well-meaning—albeit shortsighted—employee.

Passwords are basically the lock built into the front door of a building. They’re enough to keep out honest people, but what about the people who are willing to go to the deep web and 3D print the master key to the type of lock you use?

Whether you love them or hate them, passwords serve an important purpose in the realm of cybersecurity. They are the first line of defense against potential threats, yet they are also notoriously easy to crack. Some of the biggest names in technology have been working on ways to get around the challenges presented by password security, including one that we are excited to highlight in today’s blog.
