The secret to our success
I can’t believe Dynamic Edge has been helping businesses get rid of their computer headaches for 17 Years! It feels like yesterday when I started DE from my college dorm room. How we have improved since then!
Not to toot our own horn too much, but I think we’ve accomplished a lot since DE’s start—always aimed at giving our customers the best technical support possible.
Here are some of the facts:
—We enjoy helping people— According to a recent study, going out of your way to help people actually reduces stress. So that is what we do, we go above and beyond. In fact, the industry standard is 84% positive interactions, and we run at 96% positive responses from our users on our help.

Nowadays, the reality is that business networks get breached daily—and the fact is that the less security measures you take, the more likely you are to a severe hack regardless the size of your business. But what you might not realize is the more security measures you take to prevent a breach, the more downstream savings.
In this post, I will highlight how investing up front in network security will pay off big time! I call it the Cybercrime Snowball Effect because with every breach comes exponentially more costs.
You prevent your network getting infected—first and foremost, you avoid having malware installed and slowing down your machines. Malicious software commonly takes up processing time, uses resources and takes up space on local machines. The first few snowflakes form from your individual workers not getting their work done—or having problems with latency, slow computers and individual computer headaches!

Why is it so hard for enterprises to get security right?

Another day at work.
Sifting through a hundred emails, carefully avoiding to click on the suspicious ones that might be spam or even worse intentioned phishing emails. DE just sent you an update on recent phishing attacks and you are up to speed with some of the current email tactics.
You’re completely informed and know how to deal with suspicious emails.
It’s 2 pm and after getting a pick-me-up coffee to round out the day, you return to your desk and realize a message from Microsoft on your computer. It says: “Your computer has been infected. Please call 1-888-643-9730.”
You dial the number and talk to a representative that thanked you for calling and told you she was going to walk you through fixing the virus problem on your machine. She would be removing the virus for free, but needs you to buy a $99 antivirus product to make sure the infection was completely removed.

Is Your Business Prepared For The Latest Cybercrimes and Phishing Schemes?
You’d never believe the problems phishing schemes create. Just last week a hospital in California had to pay $17,000 to get their data back! Here are just a few of the very recent exploits that we’ve seen from phishing scams. Exploits that are not out of the ordinary—schemes that could quite possibly affect your business- regardless of size, geography, vertical.
I want to be very clear that cybersecurity IS something you need to be thinking about!

I really wish I didn’t have to write an article about planning for cybersecurity—that instead I could just say having antivirus protection and following a few security guidelines would be enough. But the reality is without an up-to-date cybersecurity plan, you’re not safe!
Cybercriminals are always looking for new ways to get into your systems. Every week, there are more and more security breaches, identity theft or hacks compromising businesses of every vertical and size. It’s scary that there are too many data breaches to keep track of!
Considering this, I wanted to point out three important reasons why your cybersecurity plan is likely out of date and why you can’t wait until next year to get around to fixing it.
