More Canadian businesses are confronting growing cybersecurity risk

MARKHAM, Ontario - Oct. 10, 2020 - PRLog -- October is Cybersecurity Awareness month, and one local IT expert says now is the time for small businesses to take a hard look at how they are managing the risk of cyberattacks and breaches.

Lloyd Aloysius is a senior IT consultant at SunTel Technologies Inc. (3601 Hwy 7 Suite 1004, Markham), an IT service provider offering small-to-medium enterprises a full suite of IT and cybersecurity services. According to Aloysius, the best way for small businesses to protect themselves is to work with IT experts who know how to ward off ever-increasing threats to data and security.

"With more employees working remotely and more transactions taking place online, cybersecurity risks are skyrocketing for businesses of all sizes," Aloysius said. "At SunTel Technologies, our team stays one step ahead of every cyber threat, employing the industry's best practices to protect our clients through our managed IT services for Toronto-area businesses."

One of the top threats to businesses is through ransomware, a kind of malware that threatens customer data, holding it captive until a ransom is paid. Other common cyberthreats include phishing attacks, mobile malware, 5G-to-Wi-Fi security vulnerabilities, cloud jacking, and remote worker endpoint security vulnerabilities.

"If you would like to better understand your risk of a data breach or cyberattack, contact us today to learn how a quality managed IT service provider can help," Aloysius said. "We'll review your current practices, identify vulnerabilities, and help you strengthen your security infrastructure at a price you can afford. Because you can't afford not to take action."
