IT support helps businesses take the many precautions towards securing tech use for business. There are many ways in which it’s possible to lose your data: hacking, natural disaster, data loss, etc. You don’t want your business to fall subject to a crisis like this. Read this guide to help you take all measures possible in creating safe technology use within your business.
Shut Down and Restart Everyday
Though it may not seem important, properly shutting down computers after use and starting every morning really helps with safety and health. With low power modes and standby modes, it can seem questionable whether shutting down is necessary. As your computer works, it collects files which stores and takes up memory. When you shutdown your computer, you’re wiping away all of that accumulated cruft over time. This will improve the overall health and speed of your technology.
Update on Schedule
Computer Software is extremely innovative, and creators are finding bugs often over time. When computers suggest to update, advise your employees not to click out of the notifications and instead notify you. This way, you can stay on schedule with your updates and keep your computers working healthier for your employees. They will be happy with less malfunctions/freezes throughout their workday.
Server/Cloud
A server increases network security and reliability. It helps with virus management and acts as a centralized data storage or backup. Backing up photos, files and important documents to a server/cloud is vital when keeping things safe and organized. Having files in one place makes for convenience, and gives all of your employees remote access.
Anti-Virus
There are new computer viruses that arise everyday. They are all capable of attacking your system as soon they can make their way in. By preventing this, you should keep up with software updates and new technology. Especially when employees are using your technology, you want to make sure they’re working on safe and supported devices.
