The FBI issued a new warning this week, and it’s one we think you should head – disable your local admin accounts. An administrator account refers to the first account created during the installation of a particular piece of software. It has full control of files, services, user creation, and other resources within said software. Essentially, it has a ton of control over sensitive data.
As the year comes to an end and the holidays are just around the corner, it’s a time to reflect on what truly makes you thankful. Here at Pioneer-360, we’re thankful for the connections and relationships we have been lucky enough to make along our 35-year history. Our employees, clients, and vendor relationships mean more to us than we can express.
It’s no wonder Cybersecurity Awareness Month falls in October every year – online threats can be terrifying, but they don’t have to be. Partnering with an MSP/MSSP can help eliminate some of the scariest and biggest concerns organizations face on a daily basis. However, if cybersecurity is left ignored, a huge monster could come knocking down your door.
It’s October, which means it’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month! We always like to take this time of year to educate people about cybersecurity, why it’s such an important thing in today’s world, and why your organization should prioritize cybersecurity above most other things.
Do you have someone on staff that you pay to keep up with current news and events in the IT world? Unfortunately, in today’s environment, that would be a full-time position; just tracking updates, patches, vulnerabilities, zero-Days, and the news to make sure you stay one step ahead of the rest. Even more unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to employ someone individually to stay on top of these types of events.
Over the last 35 years, we’ve learned a lot. Pioneer-360 has grown with the times, evolving from a programming company to the SOC 2 Type II Certified MSP/MSSP that we are today. In that time, we’ve perfected the way we do things, and the way we offer our services. Our programs have been crafted with specific types of IT environments in mind; for organizations that need comprehensive IT support, we can become your entire external IT department, and for organizations that just need assistance, we can complement the efforts of your current internal IT Staff.
August 1st marks Pioneer-360’s anniversary; celebrating 35 years in business. Throughout the years, Pioneer-360 has grown and evolved into the SOC 2 Type II Certified Security Experts that you know and love today, but do you know where our roots started? In the basement of Joe and Cheryl’s new house, with one employee, and a drive to serve the community.
Pioneer-360 is honored to announce that we have been named as one of the world’s premier Managed Service Providers in Channel Futures 2024 MSP 501 list; the tech industry’s most prestigious list of managed service providers worldwide. Pioneer-360 is proud to be named on this list year after year, while additionally being named MSP of the Year in 2022.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic for a while now, intriguing, and frightening people almost equally. However, recently, we have been hearing more and more about AI-enhanced cyber attacks and how they’re affecting organizations across the globe. While AI can be a fantastic tool to help automate mundane procedures, it can also become a weapon in the wrong hands, and if the target doesn’t know how to identify the AI-enhanced attacks.
Trust no one – that’s the basic principle of a Zero Trust mindset in the IT world. Zero Trust is a strict identity verification process that takes place across your organization and devices, protecting you, your organization, and your employees. Zero Trust is a process and mindset that Pioneer-360 implements daily, however – we can’t sell it to you.
