Protect Your Investment

Your company’s computers, servers and other network hardware are vital pieces of equipment for your company. Those of you that have had a PC or network outage know the disruption it causes. Keeping this equipment up to date and running properly is critical to your company’s success.

Proactively Prevent Security Lapses

There are more and more security and software updates that are being released, and they need to be installed promptly. Microsoft sends out security and software updates for all of its products the second Tuesday of each month. It’s referred to as “Patch Tuesday” in the IT world. Most of your computers will download and install these automatically, but your network servers will not. The servers need to be updated manually and rebooted at a time when it causes the least disruption.

Third-party Updates

There are many other updates, for other software, that are released periodically throughout the month and require user intervention to get them installed. Updates to software such as Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Java, anti-virus software, backup software and just about any other software that runs on your computers. It is important to get these updates installed promptly, as a recent study noted that over 70% of the virus and malware infections were caused due to unpatched software and could have been prevented.

Dirty Computers = Sick Computers

In addition to keeping the PCs updated it is also important to keep them clean, verify the backups are working properly and to be sure the power protection and battery backups are working correctly.
