Our PVR Program & Your Security Stack

Patching, vulnerability scanning, and remediation – the cornerstones of any IT department’s Security Stack. We’ve designed our remote PVR Program around those concepts. It allows us to fill in the gaps of your network, and it focuses on patching, vulnerabilities, and remediation; allowing our experts to help identify and remediate any found risk. Once a risk is identified, Pioneer-360 experts will work with your internal IT staff to schedule implementation of mitigations.

The Holiday Season is upon us and that means that you’re probably planning to do a fair bit of online shopping and browsing. This year, online Black Friday shopping rose 8%, proving that more and more people are doing their buying online. There are no crowds, no lines to wait in to check out, and no need to move from your couch, so what’s the downside? Well, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are warning about a new clickjacking threat in popular browsers.

Did you think that Cybersecurity education was over because Cybersecurity Awareness month ended? Think again. Cybersecurity has an entire month dedicated to it but really, it needs to be on the forefront of your organization’s mind every single day of the year. However, the burden of cybersecurity, patching vulnerabilities, remediating the issues, researching compliance regulations… it can become dauting and extremely time consuming. Pioneer-360’s PVR Program allows your internal IT Staff to do their daily jobs and keep your organization running smoothly. The program puts the burden of patching, vulnerabilities, and remediation onto us; the SOC2 Type II Certified Security Experts.

October usually brings with it howling winds and spooky chills but since 2004, October has also been nationally declared as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. There is no better time of the year to learn the best security practices and how to protect yourself against those looming online threats. The bad guys aren’t just on the big screens this year – cybercrime is on the rise and criminals are behind every corner waiting to strike. 

Have you set aside money in your IT budget for cyber insurance yet? If you haven’t, you most likely will soon. Cybersecurity Liability Insurance is a specific type of insurance intended to protect businesses from Internet-based risks, and more generally from risks relating to information technology infrastructure and activities. It’s something that many industries will be required to have within the next few years in order to maintain compliance, but there’s another issue; cyber insurance is getting more expensive and harder to obtain.
