A password isn't enough these days. All it takes is a single data breach, a duplicate password from another service, or a well-crafted phishing email for someone to gain access to your company's email or financial system. MFA and 2FA are a simple mechanism that can block such a scenario—even if the attacker knows your password.
The system is working. Computers are turning on, mail is arriving, and accounting is issuing invoices. But does this mean your IT is secure, organized, and ready for a failure or attack? In many companies, technology "works"—until it stops. Only then do you discover that backups haven't been tested, access is restricted.
Remote work in a company can be a huge convenience – greater flexibility, access to specialists, and lower organizational costs. At the same time, it's precisely in this model that IT security is most often "leaked," often completely unnoticed. A laptop used at the kitchen table, a quick login without additional security, or company files stored "for a while" privately are all examples.
Imagine that in the middle of the workday, a key program stops working, the server stops working, and employees start asking when they'll be able to work normally again. Instead of waiting for an IT technician to arrive, a few minutes later someone from a trusted IT department "accesses" the company computer, diagnoses the problem, and restores the system—without a visit.
Password leaks, compromised email accounts, and unauthorized logins aren't just problems for large corporations; they're also commonplace in small and medium-sized businesses. A single weak password is all it takes to give an intruder access to your entire infrastructure—from email to your company's hard drive. Fortunately, there's a simple way to stop this: two-factor authentication (2FA).
Did you know that over 70% of successful cyberattacks on SMEs are caused by antivirus software reacting too late? In practice, it's not a matter of a lack of licensing, but rather the lack of a system that thinks faster than the attacker. Bitdefender isn't just "another antivirus"—it's a full-fledged security platform that combines artificial intelligence, behavioral analysis, and more.
Imagine your computer is an office. Every day, someone knocks on its door—emails, websites, applications, updates. Some of these "guests" are welcome, but others try to get in uninvited, sometimes even under false pretenses. And that's where the firewall comes in—the silent security guard who decides,
Everyone who uses cloud services in their company sooner or later asks themselves the same question: Is my employee and customer data truly safe there? It's natural – after all, we store virtually everything in Microsoft 365 these days: contracts, payroll, customer correspondence, financial reports, and even team meeting recordings.
Imagine that at 10:17 a.m. today, your company loses access to its sales system. The two questions that determine everything right now are: how long can you be offline and how much data can you lose to keep your business running smoothly. These are the answers to RTO and RPO. RTO is the maximum acceptable downtime.
Imagine turning on your company computer one morning to discover that all your files—offers, contracts, customer data—are inaccessible. A disk has crashed, an employee accidentally deleted a folder, or an outsider has encrypted your resources in a ransomware attack. This isn't a movie script—these situations happen.
In our daily work, it's clear that most businesses are aware of the need for backups, but few know how to choose the appropriate frequency. This factor determines whether a company loses a few minutes of work, an entire day, or even an entire contract in the event of a failure. Therefore, when advising clients as part of our service,
Digital security has become a key challenge for business owners and management. Just a few years ago, antivirus for businesses was primarily associated with protecting computers against viruses and Trojans. Today, the range of threats is much broader, including ransomware that locks down entire systems, phishing attacks targeting office workers, and even leaks.
Imagine receiving an email that looks like a regular message from a friend, a business partner, or someone who knows a surprising amount about you. It doesn't contain a virus, doesn't have a suspicious attachment, and yet—that one click could open the door to your files, accounts, company data, and image. That's right.
When you hear the phrase "IT security," what comes to mind? Most often, it's antivirus software, firewalls, and perhaps passwords for computers or servers. Many companies—especially smaller and medium-sized ones—understand data protection in this way. We install antivirus software, configure the router, and… we feel safe. Unfortunately, it's an illusion.
Although Windows 10 officially ends support in October 2025, Microsoft surprised many users by announcing a new, unusual approach to security. Instead of closing the door, it left the door open – for up to a year, and in the case of companies, even longer. It provided three paths that allow you to keep your system secure until 13
