Manage the madness

US businesses experienced an estimated $13.8 billion in productivity losses last March. Don't let your business be another statistic– manage the madness with better IT.

Our playbook for a winning March.

1

Check your bandwidth.

Do you have enough bandwidth for March Madness (literally)? If not, come up with a plan to throttle streaming or designate a viewing station so you don't slow down your entire team.

2

Clearly communicate expectations to your team.

Decide what is OK and what isn't when it comes to watching games at work. Then communicate that plan to your team along with how that plan will be regulated.

3

Keep your network safe with DNS filtering.

If your team is going to be checking their brackets and game scores, make sure you protect your network with DNS filtering to keep your staff from accidentally visiting malicious sites.

4

Run a March Madness themed phishing simulation.

Prepare your team with an March Madness themed phishing email. If they don't pass the test, schedule a cybersecurity training to keep them prepared.
