What’s a Firewall? Why Does It Matter?
When your IT provider recommends a firewall that might cost a couple thousand dollars, what makes that worth more than the cheap firewall you can buy at Walmart? And if Windows comes with a built-in firewall, why do we even need to buy one at all? If you’ve ever been confused by this topic and wondered why you should spend money on something that Windows has included, then this webinar is for you. We’ll give a brief intro to different types of firewalls and their use, so you can understand the differences.

Preparing for Ransomware
Ransomware is an ever-growing threat to organizations and businesses of all size – no one is immune. The average ransomware attack in 2023 caused 22 days of downtime for the business or organization, and had a ransom of $1.54 million dollars. Even if a ransom is not paid, recovery costs can easily run into high figures. Numbers like these make it well worth the time to prepare to keep ransomware out, and to recover efficiently if ransomware does creep in. Join us as we talk about how to prepare for this scourge of business.
