It’s Spring 2022, the war in Ukraine is raging and we see it on the news every day.  Your favorite news anchor will inform you of the casualties, the loss of equipment, the amazing and heartbreaking human side of the story. The anchor might even mention there is a new type of warfare also taking place, Cyberwarfare. Sounds insidious for sure but no one knows what it really means, and besides that it’s so far away it can’t affect me here, right? 

Pioneer-360’s Remote Partner Program just keeps getting better. Our Remote Partner Program compliments your internal IT with a perfectly balanced mix of technicians and tools and now with our newly added Zero Trust, our highly skilled NOC and SOC teams of engineers have the perfect toolset for any financial organization. By adding Zero Trust, we have completed our award-winning Security Suite, that is designed for and catered to compliant-heavy industries. But what is Zero Trust, what does it do, and how can it take your network security to the next level?

Security & Compliance

Those two words typically intimidate most Internal IT, MSP’s, and even MSSP’s for the simple fact of how labor intensive it is to achieve a balance between the two. Unfortunately, there are no single appliances or software packages that will achieve a totally secure environment and to meet compliance, it requires a lot of dedication and documentation.

Pioneer-360 is proud to announce the achievement of our SOC2 Type 2 Certification – a process that our employees have devoted their blood, sweat, and tears to over the course of the last two years. A SOC 2 Type 2 Certification guarantees a third-party auditor has verified that Pioneer-360 follows best security practices in not only infrastructure but processes as well. This company-wide achievement is huge for our MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) status, adding to our robust security and compliance guarantees.

Is Ransomware Near You?

You hear about large-scale organizations across the globe dealing with ransomware attacks more and more, but it can still feel like that kind of threat is oceans away from your back door. Unfortunately, cybercrime threats are everywhere and no organization is exempt from becoming a potential target. Ransomware is now the primary cybercrime threat for businesses, and the trends only predict that cybercrime will reach new heights in the coming year.

Phishing emails can seem innocent at first, primarily because they appear to come from familiar sources, such as Netflix or Amazon. I mean, who doesn’t love their Netflix and Prime? We all recognize the familiar logos of the services we’ve relied on for so long. So when an email arrives with the right branding and logo, it grabs our attention. The malicious email may read, “we’ve been having trouble with your billing information, and we need you to make an update as soon as possible to continue your service.” That’s just one example of how easily hackers can drag unsuspecting people down to the dark web with malvertising.
