It usually starts with a question: “Why didn’t we catch this?” Not asked in anger, more like confusion. The business had a firewall. Antivirus was running. MFA was turned on. From their perspective, they’d done what they were supposed to. But something still slipped through. Maybe it was a strange login at 2am, or a […] The post What is Threat Detection and Response? appeared first on SkyNet MTS.| SkyNet MTS
You’re in the middle of a busy week, juggling client deadlines and putting out fires, when someone from the team clicks on what looked like a normal invoice email. A few hours later, systems start acting weird, files go missing, and now you’re on the phone with IT asking how this even happened. It’s not […] The post Why Human Firewalls Are So Vital to Security appeared first on SkyNet MTS.| SkyNet MTS
Most small business networks don’t fall apart because of some sophisticated cyberattack. They fail quietly through missed updates, vague access policies, and old hardware no one’s touched in years. By the time someone notices, it’s usually because something went wrong: a strange login, a phishing email that almost worked, or a client asking about your […] The post Network Security Checklist: Protect Your Data Like a Pro appeared first on SkyNet MTS.| SkyNet MTS
Most small business leaders assume their network is secure, until they have to prove it. That’s when things get uncomfortable. Not because they’ve neglected security, but because no one’s ever walked them through what a full audit actually involves. They’ve got the basics in place: antivirus, MFA, maybe a decent firewall. But when a vendor […] The post Essential Steps to Conducting a Network Security Audit appeared first on SkyNet MTS.| SkyNet MTS
A lot of SMBs don’t come to us asking whether they should move to the private cloud or stick with on-premise infrastructure. What they’re usually saying is something closer to, “We’ve outgrown our current setup, but we’re not sure what’s next.” Sometimes it’s because the server in the back room is long past its prime. […] The post Private Cloud vs. On-Premise: How to Choose the Right Infrastructure for Your Business appeared first on SkyNet MTS.| SkyNet MTS
A client recently told us, “I know we need to improve cybersecurity, but honestly, I don’t even know what that means anymore.” And that’s not unusual. I find that a lot of business owners feel like cybersecurity is a constant guessing game. Too many moving parts, too many tools, and no clear direction. What’s often […] The post How to Implement the NIST Cybersecurity Framework: A Practical Guide for Business Leaders appeared first on SkyNet MTS.| SkyNet MTS
“We’re locked out of everything. There’s a note on the server, and it says we have three days to pay or lose the data.” That was the message a client sent us at 6:43am on a Tuesday. No details. No lead-up. Just the kind of moment that hits hard and fast and derails the entire […] The post How to Get Rid of Ransomware: Essential Steps for Protection appeared first on SkyNet MTS.| SkyNet MTS
A few months ago, an accounting firm we support had a close call. Their office manager clicked on what looked like a routine QuickBooks email. It wasn’t. Within minutes, attackers had access to client tax records and internal files. Luckily, their backups were current, and we had MFA and incident response protocols already in place.

“The cloud was supposed to make things easier, but now we’re dealing with more security issues than before.” This is something we’ve heard more than once in a project kickoff meeting. A lot of smaller businesses move to the cloud (or shift cloud providers or move from on-premises, et cetera), but they often get overwhelmed […] The post Cloud Security Checklist: Practical Steps to Secure Your Cloud Environment appeared first on SkyNet MTS.| SkyNet MTS
“We can’t afford a full-time CISO, but we need someone in charge.” That’s how one of our clients put it when their compliance demands started piling up. They weren’t a massive enterprise, but they were handling sensitive customer data, navigating vendor security reviews, and staring down a looming audit with no clear owner for cybersecurity.
