IT Asset Management: Best Practices

Image
IT asset management  (ITAM) is not a project. You cannot execute it once & expect it to be done. ITAM is a practice that must be maintained and consistently enhanced to give your business the advantage that it can—and should—deliver.  What we observed is that businesses implement ITAM responsively, in reply to an incident. However, after that issue is fixed, the administrative focus on ITAM is deprioritized until the next crisis. The operation is then re-launched. This continuous rebuilding of ITAM will never yield its full potential benefit.  There will be multiple reasons behind implementing ITAM in a firm; however, we have encountered many that did it proactively instead of as a response to a negative incident. This should stop. Let us see how we can close the stable door before the horse escapes!  Top Recommended: IT Asset Management Practices for Your Business  A Continuous Process  Note that ITAM is a process, not something you execute once & ...

Maintain your Firewall Infrastructure with VTPL's Managed Firewall Services

As we all know that firewall stops harmful cyber-attacks and malware from infiltrating your business's information technology infrastructure. You can prevent attacks by monitoring network traffic in and out of your firm.  Your  IT support service provider  is in-charge of managed firewall services.

Moreover, it offers you a false sense of security while malware and viruses operate unnoticed.  Therefore, appropriately configuring a firew...

Below are a few strategies for minimizing and controlling ransomware attacks.  According to research, globally destructive ransomware outbreaks increased more than 5 times between 2017 and 2022.

It encrypts the victim's data, making them unusable, and threatens to destroy them unless the ransom is paid.  Ransomware is often deployed to a targeted computer via phishing, which involves convincing an innocent user into clicking on a malicious link. Once activated, ransomware continues encrypting files and sending extortion messages to the victim.  What makes ransomware even more frightening is that in many cases, even when the ransom is paid, the intruders do not d...
