Managed Services - An Asset during Spring Break

Written by present | Feb 23, 2021 4:45:00 PM

Spring break is approaching, and many IT departments find themselves preparing to be short-staffed as employees take time off.  Especially this year, as childcare options are not readily available, many enterprises are wondering if they will be able to maintain the same level of support and security to the business.

 

 

With the explosion of remote working and the forced relocation of offices due to Covid-19 restrictions, comes a set of previously minimized issues. Management of the corporate network, security, continuous monitoring to avoid falling victim to ransomware attacks, support for users, not to mention the management of remote stations and their connections... This equals an increased workload and not necessarily obvious solutions to respond to a changing infrastructural landscape.

 

Security does not take a holiday

 

IT environments need some form of monitoring at all times, or they risk potential downtime.  If you are a SMB, you are operating with a small team or in some cases, just one or two IT resources.  When these resources go on vacation, it is very difficult to maintain coverage and companies are opening themselves up to risk.
