Cybersecurity in 2025:
Don't Be the Low-Hanging Fruit
Published by Tim Low on November 25, 2024
Here’s the reality: 60% of SMBs shut down within six months of a major cyberattack. Why?
- SMBs often skip basic cybersecurity measures, making them easy targets.
- Hackers use SMBs as stepping stones to bigger companies.
- The more apps, systems, and remote setups you have, the more exposed you are.
Your IT Systems Are Like a Building
Think of your IT Systems as a building. If you leave the doors unlocked, ignore the cracks in the foundation, or let maintenance slide, it’s only a matter of time before someone breaks in.
That’s where Managed IT Services comes in.
It’s like having a full-time property management team for your “IT building.” Instead of waiting for a break-in (or system failure) to happen, we proactively maintain, monitor, and upgrade your infrastructure so you’re always a step ahead of cyber threats.
At MotivIT, every one of our managed IT services subscription plans includes cybersecurity as a core focus. Here’s how it works:
How Managed IT Services Keep You Safe
- Imagine having a security guard on duty, watching for suspicious activity across your systems at all hours. That’s what proactive monitoring does- it catches threats before they can cause damage.
- Hackers love outdated software. With managed IT, we handle all updates, ensuring your systems are always protected against known vulnerabilities.
- If ransomware strikes, we’ve got your safety net ready. Automated backups ensure your critical data is always retrievable, and recovery plans minimize downtime.
- 90% of breaches happen because of human error. Phishing emails are getting smarter, and one wrong click can cost a business millions. We include cybersecurity training in our plans to help your team recognize and avoid these traps.
- Let’s face it-SMBs have unique needs. Managed IT services provide a customized approach, balancing affordability with enterprise-grade protection.
Here's My Question for You
A) Have systems in place to stop it?
B) Be scrambling to figure out what happened?
C) Realize too late that you’ve lost valuable time, money, and trust?
Cybersecurity isn’t about fear-it’s about preparation. The cost of prevention is always less than the cost of recovery.
