Too Small to Hack? Why That Mindset Could Cost You Everything

Image
  If you’re running a small business, chances are you’ve said or thought this: “We’re too small to be a target.” It’s a common belief, and unfortunately, a dangerous one. Cybercriminals aren’t always looking for huge paydays. They’re looking for easy access, low resistance, and quick wins. That’s why small and mid-sized businesses make up a significant portion of cyberattack victims each year. One weak password, one outdated firewall, or one employee clicking on a phishing email is all it takes to bring your operations to a halt. And when your IT team is small or non-existent it’s often too late to contain the damage. ITRemedy understands the unique vulnerabilities small businesses face. That’s why they’ve developed a suite of managed services tailored specifically for SMBs. With ITRemedy, your business can access: Enterprise-level threat protection scaled for your size 24/7 monitoring that flags suspicious activity fast Security awareness training for employees at all levels Consi...

Small Business, Big Risk: Why Hackers Are Targeting You

Image
Think your business is too small to be on a hacker’s radar? Think again. Cybercriminals aren’t just going after large corporations. In fact, small businesses are often their preferred targets because they tend to have weaker security systems and less formal IT policies. That makes it easier and faster for bad actors to break in, steal data, and disrupt operations. A single ransomware attack can paralyse your business. And for SMBs without a dedicated IT department, recovery is both costly and time-consuming. That’s why ITRemedy steps in to fill the gap. As a local partner with deep expertise in protecting small businesses, ITRemedy offers proactive security strategies that are both affordable and scalable. Whether you operate from a single location or have a dispersed remote team, ITRemedy tailors protection to your business model and risk profile. Here’s how ITRemedy helps keep your business safe: Custom firewalls designed to block threats before they reach your systems Ongoing monito...

When Medical Devices Become Gateways: Why Healthcare Cybersecurity Starts on the Floor

Image
Smart beds. Heart monitors. Insulin pumps. These are not just medical tools—they are connected devices, often operating as endpoints on a hospital network. And while they improve care, they also present significant cybersecurity risks. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting healthcare systems through these devices because they often lack modern security protocols. Once compromised, these tools can provide access to larger systems or even interrupt care. That’s why ITRemedy, one of the most trusted names among cybersecurity consulting companies , is shifting the focus toward the frontlines—where care and connectivity meet. ITRemedy works with healthcare organizations to: Conduct thorough security assessments of connected medical devices Harden device configurations and eliminate default vulnerabilities Implement continuous monitoring to detect anomalies in real time The goal isn’t just to protect data; it’s to ensure every device contributing to patient care is protected against expl...

Medical Devices: The Soft Spot in Hospital Cybersecurity

Image
In an age where nearly every hospital device is internet-connected, cybersecurity isn’t just about protecting data—it’s about protecting people. Connected devices such as infusion pumps, patient monitors, and imaging systems streamline care delivery. But they also create more opportunities for cybercriminals to breach systems. Unfortunately, many of these devices were not originally designed with cybersecurity in mind, making them a soft target. A compromised infusion pump could deliver the wrong dosage. A hijacked MRI machine might delay critical diagnostics. The implications are real and urgent. That’s why ITRemedy, a provider of managed IT services for healthcare , is working with hospitals to close these gaps before they become critical failures. ITRemedy helps healthcare organizations: Identify vulnerable devices across their network Apply security patches and device-level controls Monitor activity for signs of intrusion or misuse More than just IT support, this is risk prevention...

No Backup? No Business: The High Price of Data Loss for SMBs
