From everyone at PCS "Happy Birthday Susan!"

Cloud jacking or cloud account hijacking, is when an individual or business' account is taken over by a cybercriminal. One thing is clear with any emerging cybercrime, cloud jackers look to take advantage of existing vulnerabilities in a system, then rely on the laziness and ignorance of system users to access their target cloud. Some common examples why an account is compromised include weak password controls that were exploited or a successful social engineering attack. Ho...w do you limit your exposures to cloud jacking which could lead to blackmail, identity theft, or a major data breach? You can no longer rely solely on the use of usernames and passwords for the peace of mind and security you need. Systematic security policies, robust in-company education, and an insistence on commonsense practices should be the first and most important line of defense while catching up with the latest hacking techniques. Two-Factor or Multifactor Authentication is rapidly becoming a security standard that no one should go without when it comes to securing the cloud. If your business needs some guidance on enabling a more robust authentication process, please contact PCS. We can help you to assess the best methods to increase security for your systems and networks.

Pittsburgh Computer Solutions is excited to share the latest from Microsoft - a short video highlighting small business hero Scott Naucler. Scott owns Turbine Test Services, a professional services company with four employees who work remotely to maintain wind turbines along America's wind corridor. Scott relies on Office 365 not only to work flexibly and collaboratively with his employees, but also to keep him organized when he's pursuing his passion - building and flying Cessna planes. Office 365 helps Scott get the most out of his work and his passion. Contact us to learn more about how we can help you do the same.

There is perhaps no greater weakness to a company's cybersecurity posture than employee passwords. PCS can help with training your staff on what makes a good password, how to safely store them and other password safety policies and best practices.

Cybersecurity is the protection of internet-connected systems such as hardware, software and data from cyber-threats. The practice is used by individuals and enterprises to protect against unauthorized access to data centers and other computerized systems. The goal of implementing cybersecurity is to provide a good security posture for computers, servers, networks, mobile devices and the data stored on these devices from attackers with malicious intent. Organizations and ser...vices should implement cybersecurity tools, training, risk management approaches and continually update systems as technologies change and evolve to protect organizations, employees and individuals. Cybersecurity is a continuously changing field, with the development of technologies that open up new avenues for cyberattacks. Additionally, even though significant security breaches are the ones that often get publicized, small organizations still have to concern themselves with security breaches, as they may often be the target of viruses and phishing. PCS can help your business provide security awareness training for your staff, no matter how many people you employ. Training can take place as a group activity or individually as your staff's work schedules allow. As threats continue to evolve, you want your staff to be able to protect your company's data assets. Ongoing training can help your staff to be better informed and more prepared for what may lie ahead.
