  • 10 things you can do today (yes today) to make your business’s network safer

    10 things you can do today (yes today) to make your business’s network safer

    There’s an onslaught of information aimed at internet safety and most of it lets be honest, falls on deaf ears.

    Most people online today feel like they’re technology savvy enough to avoid the scams out there (unfortunately at least 1 out of 6 are wrong) and even if you acknowledge tech falls outside your scope of expertise you’re still at risk.

    The good news is we have a list of 10 things you can do today even if you’re technologically challenged that will make a major impact on the network safety in your office.

    1. Confirm your backups are working. Backups are one of your best defenses against ransomware, especially if you have an archival copy which is a backup copy that’s made once and then tucked away until you need it (usually behind layers of security, like with our TechVault solution).
    2. Security awareness training for you and your employees. When we know better, we do better. Many security awareness training programs are implemented in bite size doses that are easy to squeeze into your day. It’s easier to avoid a phishing scam if you’ve seen the obvious examples through training.
    3. Speaking of phishing scams, don’t open suspicious emails. We’ve talked a lot about this topic including how to spot a phishing email, but email scams are one of the top ways hackers can infiltrate your network.
    4. Upgrade software that’s reached End of Life (EoL). If your office computers are still on Windows 7 it’s definitely time for an upgrade and technically you can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free. While other upgrades may not be free, it’s still a good idea to get rid of software that’s no longer being supported by the vendor.
    5. You should also make sure all the software you need to stay safe online is installed on your devices. Programs can go missing or just not be reinstalled if a computer needs to be wiped for whatever reason, you should make sure important software such as anti-virus detection is installed on all of your office computers.
    6. While you’re at it, it’s time to serious think about Multi-Factor Authentication. We always hear a collective groan when this topic comes up, but password managers have become much easier to use and can even make logging into the various sites you use to work easier. Here are our top picks.
    7. Remove any devices you’re no longer using from your network. Besides being a waste of electricity, devices connected to your network that aren’t being used can be vessels for infiltration if they’re not being kept up to date via patching etc. Get rid of them!
    8. Have a plan for reporting suspicious activity. Do your employees know what to do if they receive a suspicious email or their computers acting “funny”? Having a plan documented somewhere (even if the only advice is “Contact our IT service team”) can mean a cyber threat event is recorded and dealt with instead of just ignored because they didn’t know what to do.
    9. Have an office password policy guide as well. It’s a good idea to have a guide for passwords available to your employees, especially if it covers what not to do such as having your phone number or any other PII (Personal Identifying Information) as your password.
    10. Know when to ask for help. This list is a good place to start but if your business has no IT help now (or possibly worse, inadequate help) it’s a good idea to call in the experts. Calling Valley Techlogic for a free consultation is another step you can take today to improve the safety of your office network.

  • It’s starting to feel like summer and that means rising temperatures and the potential for rolling blackouts – 3 ways to protect your devices during a power outage

    It’s starting to feel like summer and that means rising temperatures and the potential for rolling blackouts – 3 ways to protect your devices during a power outage

    While summer won’t officially start in the Northern Hemisphere until June 21st, Memorial Day week often marks the “unofficial” start of summer for many and May in general is when many states start to see rising temperatures – especially with the effects of climate changes causing record highs across the country.

    For California – and in particular the Central Valley where we’re located – rolling blackouts are a common occurrence as temperatures begin to rise, and these sudden unexpected power outages can damage expensive equipment that’s not properly protected.

    Sometimes power companies will give some notice of when an outage will be occurring in your area and in this case, we recommend unplugging what you can as that’s a surefire way to protect your equipment if an unexpected power surge were to occur.

    However, blackouts are often random and so we recommend the following preventative measures:

    1. Surge Protectors – A quality surge protector is a must have for every device on your office network, and not all surge protectors are created equal. Surge protectors always list a joule rating which tells you how much power they can absorb without failing, for computers we recommend a surge protector with a joule rating of at least a 1000.
    2. UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) – Next on the list is a UPS, this is a battery backup for your devices and for your office server in particular a must have item. When choosing a UPS, you want to ask yourself if you’re looking for something with enough power to let you safely turn your device off or if you wanted something that would keep your device online for days in an extended outage. We also created a short guide found below to what else you should look for when choosing a UPS.
    3. Power Generators – Finally power generators could be necessary for certain office scenarios, an automatic standby generator will be a big investment but if it’s mission critical your office power stay intact during a rolling blackout it could be worth it.

    Also here is our guide on what to look for in a UPS:

    UPS Choices Chart

    We’ve been talking about the power side of rolling blackouts and how an electric surge could potentially damage your devices but there’s also another thing to consider, your data.

    If a power outage occurs suddenly, anything that hasn’t been saved could be lost. If you’re a Microsoft 365 customer, you will have the benefit of the short-term backups they provide for your office documents (if you’ve ever had your computer restart while working on something and have experienced the profound relief seeing that “Recovered” documents bar you’ll know what we’re talking about).

    If you’re not a Microsoft 365 customer or you’re worried about data corruption or your service backups failing (or maybe your server Isn’t being backed up at all) we suggest talking to us about what your options are.

    We offer our clients our triple layer backup solution TechVault. Not only will we back up your onsite data, but we will also create a cloud copy that is updated every 15 minutes and an archival copy that is virtually impenetrable to bad actors.

  • Is it time to call in the reinforcements? 5 benefits to co-managed IT services

    Is it time to call in the reinforcements? 5 benefits to co-managed IT services

    For many small to medium sized businesses, they have one go-to person for their IT needs. This person knows the business inside and out and whether they were in IT to start or just discovered they had an affinity for it, they are a reliable resource the rest of your team depends on when something goes wrong.

    The downside is they’re just one person. It’s a minor disruption if they call out sick or take a vacation, if they were to quit that minor disruption turns major. It’s tenuous to rely on a single person for such an important task alone.

    Even if you ran your business for years without anyone being in charge of IT, how dependent were you on technology at that point compared to now? Year over year, spending on technology for small businesses continues to grow (the average being between $10,000 to $49,000 for per year).

    Technology spending is an investment you make in your businesses future and having reliable support to utilize that investment is key to making sure that the effort, time and money spent on it is not wasted.

    The employee you have in charge of technology for your business is also an investment, and they may have felt they needed more help and support as your business has grown but may have felt unsure how to make that request. It’s difficult for employees to let their bosses know they feel overwhelmed without worrying that it’ll lead to them appearing inadequate.

    The truth is for most businesses, technology has a lot of moving parts. You most likely have a team that relies on devices to do their job and if multiple things go wrong simultaneously, one single person can’t be in two or more places at once. That’s a lot of pressure for your IT person, and a lot of downtime for the employees stuck waiting for their turn.

    You also can’t expect one person to be good at all things, your IT person may be great at fixing the company website when it’s down or troubleshooting network errors, but you could be calling in reinforcements already (at an exorbitant rate) when something outside their wheelhouse is on the fritz.

    We’ve spent a lot of time talking about why you should consider co-managed IT without outright saying it, but here’s are 5 ways co-managed IT can help your business:

    1. Access to 24/7 emergency support. It’s unfair to expect your IT person to be on call around the clock 24/7 365, but with a co-managed solution emergency support is usually included.
    2. Access to a variety of skills. A co-managed solution will have a team of people who have a varied skill set, so when you call in for support, you’ll have the right person for the job the first time (minimizing your downtime).
    3. Access to software solutions. Your co-managed provider will have access to software solutions that would otherwise be too expensive to procure for your business alone, but because they’re providing it for many clients the cost for you is much more reasonable (or even free).
    4. More hands-on deck. As we said, your IT person can’t be in two places at once. If they’re knee deep in something, we can be that extra help that you need, and they’ll appreciate.
    5. Much less expensive then bringing on an additional person. Finally, the cost of a co-managed plan is going to be much less expensive than the cost of hiring an additional person.

    Co Managed IT Services

    In fact, at Valley Techlogic we have a plan tailored for co-managed situations. If many of the things in this article rang true for you and you’d like to learn more, simply book a consultation with us today.

  • CMMC Series: What’s Happening in 2022

    CMMC Series: What’s Happening in 2022

    We’ve touched on the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) before in this blog, but over the next five weeks we’ll be doing a deep dive into this particular cybersecurity framework in our new CMMC Series. Starting with today’s post on what’s happening currently and what we can expect in 2022.

    At Valley Techlogic, we believe a good cybersecurity framework can be the backbone for businesses looking to beef up their cybersecurity implementation. The roadmaps found within frameworks such as CMMC, HIPAA, CIS and NIST act as a perfect guide whether you’ve been implementing cybersecurity strategies for a while or are brand new to the process.

    Our focus on CMMC occurs as the program is set to go through changes. CMMC Version 1.0 was released January 31st, 2020, and while it borrowed most of its components from NIST, it did have 30 additional requirements that aren’t found in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework.

    Those additional standards will not exist in version 2.0 however, as the Department of Defense (DoD) moves to simplify the program and roll back any government oversight that may overreaching. Version 2.0 will allow more companies to self-certify as well.

    Rolling out a new version of anything in the government is a time intensive process, since the new changes were announced it’s anticipated it could take anywhere from 9 months to 24 months before a ruling is established. Also, some groups who are currently involved in implementing CMMC are protesting the changes.

    Regardless of what version exists, we’re past the point where businesses who hold contracts with the DoD can choose to ignore the writing on the wall. You will need to start implementing these security measures now if you haven’t already if you want to maintain your compliance with the DoD rules for their contractors. Whether 2.0 passes or not, CMMC is not going away.

    CMMC accreditation audits are expected to kick off soon, and there’s even some talks about incentivizing businesses who receive their CMMC certifications before it’s officially required. CMMC certification also lets your customers know you take securing their data seriously within your organization.

    Whether it’s 5 tiers found in the existing model or 3 tiers found in 2.0, the best place to start is in the first tier. These changes are easy to quickly implement and will lay the foundation for future cybersecurity improvements. At Valley Techlogic, we have experience helping businesses implement the requirements found within CMMC (as well as NIST, HIPAA, CIS and more).

    We can help your business self-certify and prepare for CMMC accreditation. We can quickly bring you to compliance with tier one and set goals for the more advanced levels.

    Over the next weeks we will talk about the goals found within tier one and beyond in this ongoing CMMC series. If you’re hoping to meet the qualifications for CMMC accreditation in 2022, schedule a meeting with us today to learn how we can help with the process.

  • New Year, New Bugs – The Y2K22 Bug Crippling Exchange Servers

    New Year, New Bugs – The Y2K22 Bug Crippling Exchange Servers

    We hope everyone had a wonderful New Year but unfortunately for those with 2016/2019 Exchange servers, the turning of the clocks to 01/01/2022 led to an unpleasant bug.

    Computer bugs related to a New Years event aren’t uncommon, we created this infographic about other times this has happened (as well as a notable future one).

    Computers and Time Related Bugs
    Click to open the full size.

    The error this time was caused by the date checking within the anti-malware portion of Exchange. The date check failure caused the anti-malware system to crash which led to messages being stuck in a queue, with many IT professionals noticing it happening right at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

    Exchange administrators online started noticing error messages with their exchange servers as soon as the new year hit, such as “The FIP-FS Scan Process failed initialization. Error: 0x8004005. Error Details: Unspecified Error” or “Error Code: 0x80004005. Error Description: Can’t convert “2201010001” to long.”

    Microsoft rolled out an update to Exchange servers labeled “220101001” on New Year’s Eve that appears to have begun the issues, and update “220101002” also was plagued with the same problems.

    Disabling malware filtering acted as a stop gap fix for some, though Microsoft has now released a script to fix the issue. They’re warning users however that the fix will “take some time”. The script must be run on each 2016/2019 Exchange server and is reportedly taking up to 30 minutes to run.

    There’s also a manual fix for users who choose to go that route, although this may not shorten the execution time. It will also take some time for the messages that were stuck to finally clear the queue. Some users are reporting the script didn’t work to solve the problem initially but running it multiple times finally lead to a solution.

    So, what’s the easy explanation as to why these bugs arise in the first place? The most famous example of a time related bug occurring is of course Y2K, but as in our chart these bugs have been occurring since nearly the time a computer first existed (all the way back to 1975).

    The cause is due to how computers calculate and format time. When computer programs first started being developed, engineers entered time as two-digit number such as “70” for 1970 to save on storage space (which was incredibly expensive at the time). As the year 2000 approached the fear was computers would interpret “00” as “1900” instead of “2000”. This would lead to a host of problems for software that needs an accurate date for its calculations – such as banks or travel institutions.

    Engineers raced to solve the problem and, in the end, not many issues occurred with the Y2K bug. As we see now with the Y2K22 bug however, the problems with computers and their calculation of time are an ongoing process. They’re not always specifically tied to a New Year’s event either, on September 9th, 2001, the number of seconds past the Unix Epoch date of 01/01/1970 passed 1 billion, causing many of those programs to fail.

    Time is a complex topic as we all know, and even more so for computers and other devices that need extremely accurate time calculation to run properly. If the complexity of this bug or any other device related issues is making your head spin, why not leave it to the experts? Schedule a call with Valley Techlogic today to learn how we can save you time and frustration when dealing with your businesses IT this year and beyond.

  • High Tech Holidays – Five Ways Technology Can Make Your Holiday Season Easier

    High Tech Holidays – Five Ways Technology Can Make Your Holiday Season Easier

    We’re right in the middle of the holiday season right now, and we thought the best gift we could give to you (our readers) is some advice straight from the tech experts on how to use technology to make your holiday season easier.

    We have five tips to utilize technology for an efficient and fun holiday season.

    1. Long Distance Calls Don’t Have to Be Expensive: If your phone is stuck in the past make it your New Years resolution to change that. VoIP for home and businesses will save you money on traditional telecom costs, even when Aunt Brenda talks your ear off.
    2. Utilize The Cloud for All Those Photos and Christmas Cards: Skip hauling boxes of cards and photos up to the attic after the holiday season, scan and store those precious memories digitally in the cloud. Bonus, you never have to worry about a roof leak or other disaster ruining them.
    3. Designate a Network for Your Guests: For modern routers, giving out your Wi-Fi password to all your guests is no longer needed. You can activate a “Guest Network” in your router settings with its own password and name, and then turn it off when everyone goes home. You can even give your temporary network holiday themed names like “Winter WonderLAN” or “FalalaLAN”.
    4. Flying? Use a Fare Tracker: If your flight plans can be somewhat flexible, utilizing online fare trackers will be your best bet in saving you a lot of money this holiday season. They will help you figure out when the best time to purchase those tickets is. In the same vein, you can utilize price trackers for gifts you purchase online too.
    5. Get a Head Start on New Year’s Resolutions – Tech Edition: Another thing to consider is making some good tech hygiene a part of your New Year’s resolution. While you make changes in 2022 to make yourself healthier and happier, make your devices healthier too by keeping them up to date with security patches and updates (especially with vulnerabilities such as Log4J running amok).

    We hope these tips help you have a happy holiday at home. For your business, the holidays may represent a time of stress as you wonder if you’ll have coverage for the technology in your business or if your current service provider will be available to take your calls and service requests.

    At Valley Techlogic, we are dedicated to our customers success. We offer after hours, weekend and holiday support – usually at no additional cost for customers who have one of our service plans. Also, for the rest of December we’re offering one month FREE to new customers.

    To learn more about the kind of benefits you receive as a Valley Techlogic customer, we’ve created this chart:

    Click to see the full size version.

    As you can see, all of your preventative maintenance is covered under a Valley Techlogic service plan. This may even free up time for you if you’re a business owner who’s been handling a lot of these items yourself, which during the holiday season is invaluable. If you’d like to learn more schedule a quick consultation with us today. Happy Holidays!

  • The 5 Biggest Mistakes Business Owners Make With Their Technology

    The 5 Biggest Mistakes Business Owners Make With Their Technology

    Running a business requires wearing a lot of hats. You must dabble in a little bit of everything – accounting, management, human resources, technical support.

    We’re all told the best leaders know how to delegate but that can be hard when you’re talking about the business you’ve painstakingly built with your time and effort. Most business owners don’t clock out when the 9-5 day is over, a Gallup poll found that 39% of business owners work more than 60 hours per week.

    Tech News #12

    It’s not just about time logged either, there’s more stress and more on the line. You can’t simply find another job if your business fails, once you’ve owned your own business it can be impossible emotionally to untick that box and work for someone else. That’s not even considering the fallout of a business failing and the mess it leaves behind.

    But enough of the doom and gloom, as a technology company we’re here to support the businesses we take on as clients and lead them down the best possible path. That includes guiding business owners to smarter decisions when it comes to their technology.

    Here are the 5 biggest mistakes we see business owners make from a technology standpoint.

    1. Not keeping your hardware up to date. Look, we get it. Hardware is expensive, especially if you’re making a larger purchase for multiple employees or investing in a new server. However, this is not something you can put off until later. Waiting until your hardware fails will leave you with both the expense of new hardware and the expense of the downtime while you’re waiting for that new hardware to be deployed. We don’t think it makes sense to wait and be double billed, do you?
    2. Not keeping your software up to date either. Updates can feel like a hassle (especially if you’re performing them yourself) but it’s not a good idea to put them off until later. There’s a cumulative effect when you wait. What was once a simple update becomes a complex package of updates that will take longer and leave you with a gap in your coverage that could leave you open to the negative effects those updates were trying to prevent.
    3. Speaking of negative effects, ignoring cyber security. We get the “it will never happen to me” line all the time, and equally as often we hear from those same people later when it The phrase “Don’t be a statistic” is used frequently in cautionary tales and this is no exception. 76% of businesses will experience a cyber-attack and we personally don’t recommend rolling the dice and hoping you’re not part of the majority.
    4. Forgoing any kind of training for employees. In the same vein as #3, some training in technology and how to use the equipment you’re providing employees is a must, and even if you operate on a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) model you’re not off the hook. Most cyber-attacks happen due to human error. By not training your employees you’re not just giving hackers the keys to your office, you’re holding the door open for them.
    5. Thinking you can do it all yourself. Like we said, the best leaders know when to delegate. If you’re not a technology expert but you’re performing most or all of your own IT services what are you doing? How often does a technology snafu turn into an all day (and night) event? Are things in your business being neglected because you’re the only one that knows how to maintain them?

    There is a better way. Outsourcing is a scary word to many business owners, but the truth is help is out there and it’s local to you. We help business owners across the Central Valley who find that once the technology headache is taken off their plate, they have more time and energy to put back into growing their business. If you would like to find out more, reach out to us for a free consultation here.

  • Cyber Security Training Is More Accessible Than You Think

    Cyber Security Training Is More Accessible Than You Think

    It can be a hard pitch getting your employees to commit to cyber security training, and you yourself may wonder if it’s worth the time spent on it.

    It’s a simple fact, when it comes to cyber security breaches humans are the weakest link. There is no software measure that can preempt the human element when it comes to bad actors getting into your business’s systems and accessing your sensitive data.

    It’s not your employees’ fault, hackers are constantly devising new ways to breach your systems. They spend countless hours on it and they’re very, very good at it. Just look at these eye-opening statistics.

    Statistics on Phishing

    When many people think cyber security training, they think of something they’ll have to spend hours on. Long form videos with wordy explanations in tech-speak that doesn’t resonate or get absorbed by the intended audience.

    However, cyber security training has come a long way past that. Like most of our internet consumption activities, it can be delivered in quick bites that drive the point home in a way that speaks to your employees and many offer micro quizzes that quickly evaluate whether the information provided was understood.

    The systems we have used have management and owner portals so you can continuously monitor the results of these quizzes as well as the results of simulated phishing exercises.

    Web Training Portal

    Phishing remains a top threat to companies across the country, of breaches that have occurred in 2021, 22% involved phishing (45% involved hacking and 17% involved malware).

    Simulated phishing exercises allow you to randomly test your employees in a safe environment. The results are confidential and if you find this is a regular problem with your organization it lets you know you need to step up your efforts in regard to email safety training and have more stringent policies in place.

    There is even cyber security training that can be delivered directly via your email client, the short form videos will appear on the right-hand side and the micro quizzes can be taken immediately after viewing. making it highly accessible since there’s no need to navigate to a website.

    An additional benefit is you can inform your clients and vendors that you are conducting cyber security training within your organization.

    Also, if you access cyber security training through your IT service provider it can be highly affordable or even free. At Valley Techlogic we believe in the benefit of not only providing IT and support and service to our clients, but also making tools and information available to allow them to be completely informed in their IT choices. This includes offering cyber security training as an option for the businesses we provide services for.

    Cyber security is best implemented through a package effort of passive prevention and active prevention, passive prevention is the software we employ that prevents and mitigates cyber security threats. Active prevention is the training we offer that allows  employees to safeguard their own systems and prevents potential threats from occurring at all.

    If you’d like more information on cyber security training and/or other cyber security prevention services, you can reach out to us here. We also offer a free cyber security training kit you can get started with here.
