These days companies are more dependent on internet services than ever before. So, it’s imperative that their infrastructure is managed effectively, secure from threats, and offers consistency to their users.
Honestly, it’s surprising how many clients have come to us for help and have collected numerous domain names, email addresses, and websites. Basically, they end up with a mishmash of configurations spread over different suppliers.
This is concerning as it leaves them confused and uncertain of who is managing what and where. We often find they are paying for a service multiple times from more than one provider!
On many occasions we have had clients come to us with issues that have only been uncovered because of a problem. These types of issues have included:
- Domain names failing to be renewed or held to ransom by unscrupulous web designers.
- Being tricked into completing forms or paying for things they don’t need.
- Website outages but not knowing who to contact.
- Social engineering hacks pretending to be the MD asking for money transfers.
- Their customers paying large sums of money to hackers after being tricked by fake emails.
Steps can be taken to avoid and protect your business from these types of issues but taking the lead with your internet assets right now is recommended instead of waiting for the worst to happen.
We understand how easy it is for businesses to become overwhelmed by their internet assets. All these acronyms and technical configurations can be complex and intimidating but it’s important that you don’t ignore it.
