The NOCout Report 008: You Need a Tech Partner

by Jon Lober | NOC Technology

More than a helpdesk.

As you navigate the Wild West of the cyberfrontier, do you have someone at your side to help you fend off the digital bandits? An IT partner can help you safely navigate the uncertain tech world in ways that basic IT support never could. 


Today’s digital work environment requires more than a helpline. Cyberattacks continue to rise in frequency and intensity. Tech alignment and standardized compliance are critical in order to navigate the obstacles presented by cybercrime. 


An exceptional IT provider, one that rises to the level of tech partner, shines in this landscape. The key difference between a IT partner and a provider is the partner’s ability to strategize and plan for future challenges. Instead of a reactive response to problems, a partner takes a proactive approach to your holistic tech needs. 


What can a true IT partner do to take you beyond a basic safety net? 

  1. Implement best practices and technology standards for your business.
  2. Provide continuous recommendations to stay ahead of the tech curve instead of one step behind.
  3. Close security gaps in order to prevent problems instead of respond to them.
  4. Ensure that technology catalyzes your growth instead of stymying it. A partner will focus on the success of your unique business—enhancing your efficiency and quality through technology.

What if I clicked on a phishing email?

Just a quick refresher— what is email phishing? Phishing is a type of cyberattack where attackers try to trick you into giving away sensitive information—like passwords, credit card numbers, or even access to your business’s network— by pretending to be someone you trust . These emails often look like they’re from legitimate companies, like your bank, a well-known retailer, or even someone within your own organization. The goal? To get you to click on a malicious link or download an attachment that can compromise your system. Sometimes, the emails are obvious fakes, but other times, they can be extremely convincing, making it crucial to stay vigilant.
