Caring for emails Email messages are one of the most common forms of phishing. The first tip is to be wary of the emails you receive, especially those that are forwarded directly to the SPAM box. Even if they look like credible messages, there are great chances that it is a fake email that has already been flagged by others as an attempted scam, and this has caused its sender to be marked as a spammer. Another important point is related to the topic of email. Phishme research has shown that we are attracted to scams by the following themes: These data demonstrate that people end up falling for blows mainly when the subject is not related to work. It is up to the company to instruct its collaborators not to open e-mails on other people's topics on the devices used in service or to reinforce that these e-mails are a great scam attempt. Usually, companies hire IT Specialists to solve technical problems, such as computer systems, software, hardware, networks, cloud platforms, etc. A f

 The mean time between failures (MTBF) is used to measure the average number of days between failures or interruptions in the network, system or application. The moment when the network, system or application fails initially is considered the first measured date, while the day when the next failure occurs is considered the last measured date. The average time between failures includes the time needed to perform any repairs after the initial failure. For this KPI, the longer the time between failures, the better. If a system fails every week, company employees will not be able to efficiently complete their work. Be aware that the MTBF value includes only uptime, not repair or downtime. To reduce the average time between failures, try to segment the time between failures using different systems and software packages. This allows IT managers and employees to identify the specific network, system or application that is causing the problem. IT Service Technicians offer operational support

 When we talk about cloud or cloud computing, we are referring to an organization that prioritizes the virtualization of all, or almost all, operating infrastructure instead of maintaining software or storing data in a physical way. Brazil is the country that suffers the most cyber attacks in the world. And if you think that only large companies should have the support of a specialized IT team, you are completely wrong. Studies indicate that the biggest targets are small and medium-sized companies, precisely because digital criminals assume that they do not have adequate security. Therefore, it is possible to hijack data from customers, suppliers, billing, among others, causing legal and financial problems and, of course, influencing the company's image in the market. Therefore, the strategy of implementing systems in the cloud has become increasingly frequent. Contrary to what many think, this will not increase business costs - quite the opposite!

An alternative is to use SMART goals which is a definition method based on 5 factors: S (specific), M (measurable), A (attainable), R (relevant) and T (temporal). You can also check if there is a need to review the pricing conditions for your services and products, evaluate the real possibilities for your business and devise new strategies to circumvent this period with the least possible losses.

Well, it is exactly one of the big reasons why several entrepreneurs prefer to join an  IT franchise.  One of the biggest challenges of implementing a new business involves  gaining the confidence of the target audience in question.

The name, the brand is already a reference and, therefore, working with the  franchise  becomes the easiest way to  win customers and sell more! It is here that IT Technicians come in.

 The AWS re: Invent conference is not taking place in Vegas, but it is virtual and free. Virtual events are the positive side of the pandemic, because they keep me out of planes and eliminate 11 kilometers of walking every day at the largest public cloud conferences. Maybe I'm getting lazy in my old age, but the time that virtual events save seems to be more productive.  Not to mention just AWS, but when we look at the innovations announced at public cloud events over the past year, there have been few game changers.   Yes, most suppliers will continue to move towards smart advantage, providing more points of presence, and will continue to explore artificial intelligence. However, these are more evolutionary stages than revolutionary ideas.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about moving from containers to serverless containers or from relational databases to cloud-based databases developed specifically or from outdated to next-generation cloud security.   7 Cloud solution

 Companies' interest in large amounts of data has intensified in recent years. Data is being collected at ever increasing rates and, in many cases, is collected even for a specific purpose. Online stores have started to store not only information on what is purchased, but also all items viewed and all links clicked. Whether public or private, structured or unstructured, data sets are piling up everywhere. In the past, data was collected intentionally, so that it represented some intentional measure of the real world. More recently, however, the Internet, ubiquitous electronic devices and a latent fear of losing hidden value in data have led organizations to collect as much data as possible, usually on the premise that this data will be useful later. For the first time in history, various sectors are first collecting data and then wondering what can be done with that data. Social networks usually store everything that their users do on them. The purpose of this collection is not alw

 The firewall acts as a security device that protects the computer's doors and windows from threats, such as a hacker attack. The tool filters the incoming and outgoing data packets, allowing or disallowing information traffic. This procedure prevents the invasion of malicious software on the computer, ensuring the integrity of confidential files. Implementing this security system in the company is an essential measure not only to guarantee the company's digital security, but also to prevent the company from suffering financial losses. That's because, when faced with a threat, criminals can demand a bitcoin payment to recover lost data. Still, a hacker attack leaves the company vulnerable to bank fraud, as attackers can gain access to sensitive information. In addition, installing a firewall in the company also allows IT staff and senior management to monitor employee access. Thus, the company can be attentive to bad navigation practices, access to inappropriate websites an
