Our Cyber Ascend Technologies team appreciates a good laugh as much as anyone.
While fortifying local business needs to safe and secure data, we have replaced old legacy systems that business owners have described as being “truly a joke.”
There is an old joke about a man walking past his neighbor’s house during a rainstorm when he notices his neighbor huddled under an umbrella on his front porch. The man asks, “what are you doing, Clyde?” and the neighbor responds with, “oh, it’s terrible. My roof has a bunch of holes, and it is pouring inside my house!” The man could see this was true as the holes in the roof were visible from where he stood. The man asks, “why don’t you go fix them?” and Clyde says, “I can’t … it’s raining.”
A few days later, the man walks by Clyde’s house again. The sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky and Clyde was sitting relaxed on his porch. “Did you get your roof fixed Clyde?” the man asked. “No need,” Clyde replied happily, “it’s not leaking anymore!”
Unlike Clyde’s story, our collective experience in Scotts Valley, Boulder Creek, Felton, Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Capitola, and Salinas is that natural disasters are not jokes. Over the past few years, Santa Cruz County has experienced wildfires, notable earthquakes, and now severe flooding.
Our local disasters are not “leaking” either. At least, not for now.
For companies with older legacy in-house IT systems, these events have the potential to shut down a business for good. There are some invisible disasters that have equally lethal ramifications. Those can include viruses, hackers and ransomware infiltrations. As a business owner, when you describe your legacy systems as a joke, there is no punchline to laugh about.
Don’t be a Clyde. There may not be an imminent threat to your business, but the experience of our local community proves that a disaster could strike at any moment with little warning and catch you by surprise.
Our team can make sure you are prepared as your cyber security force protecting you from those invisible threats. We are transformation experts with converting legacy systems into powerful cloud-based environments that protect you against whatever Mother Nature has in store.
Here are six key benefits that our clients see with these implementations:
1. Quick system response to disaster
Your data infrastructure is not physically housed in your business location, but instead in a virtual cloud-based environment. If you are prevented from being able to get to your office location, you can still access your data instantly.
2. Your business can instantly scale
You can transform your business from an on-site operation to a hybrid or remote environment with employees working anywhere around the globe! We help connect your team through a network of cell phones & virtual workspaces that is always at your fingertips.
3. You save money
Your new agile cloud-based system will cut down on costs that would normally be necessary for managing legacy systems and upgrades. Old legacy systems are bulky & contain many hidden fees. Our team works to break your business free from the shackles of these contracts.
4. Your team will work better together
Besides increased protection and agility, the new system CyAs Tech implements will enable your team to collaborate more efficiently and effectively. We help implement integrated workspaces that allow you to collaborate, share, and create with your team.
5. You have the best and most current security in place
We design a structure that is protected by the best resourced security expertise in the industry. As new viruses and hacker threats are constructed, the virtual cloud system has top data scientists seamlessly implementing prevention against threats. With 24/7 monitoring you can be confident your data is protected, even when you’re asleep!
6. Your data is always safe and accessible
Your data is protected by massive monitoring systems and regularly backed-up in case of a data loss disaster. These systems are far more sophisticated than most individual businesses can afford to build alone. With us, you are no longer beholden to a physical location to access data because no matter where you are, your data stays secure.
Physical disasters in our local neighborhoods are no joke and not a laughing matter.
In the event of a disaster, you can make your company virtually immune and keep working with the preventative measures we can implement for you. This will allow you to focus on helping your community, protecting your family’s income, and ensuring job stability for your employees.
If you are looking for a good laugh (or a healthy groan), please don’t discount us tech-types, we can be funny too! Just consider our philosophy about password protection for your systems: It is like your underwear. Don’t show it to strangers, and if there is a leak, change it immediately!
