Cybersecurity Services to Protect Your Business
Hardly a day goes by without some business news story about the latest data breach, phishing scheme, ransomware attack, or some other failure of IT security. It seems that no sooner do we figure out how to thwart these malicious actors than they find a way to get past our defenses. It’s a nonstop battle, requiring constant vigilance.
That’s why, for 911 IT, cybersecurity involves much more than installing off-the-shelf anti-virus software. Because protecting our clients’ data and operations is at the top of our priority list, all our related IT services incorporate some aspect of cybersecurity. Otherwise, what’s the point?
The 911 IT Cybersecurity End Game
Our goal is to erect a virtual bastion for our clients, an impenetrable IT fortress against unwanted intrusions. We begin with a thorough audit of your existing IT infrastructure, operations, and protocols, seeking to identify vulnerabilities where data and systems may be at risk and recommending appropriate remedies to ensure they stay safe. We’ll compare your current IT security systems with industry standards and provide cost-effective options for improving those systems.
Ironically enough, what we have found, from past experience, is that some of the most serious cybersecurity threats arise from simple human error: a combination of employees who haven’t been thoroughly trained, corporate policies that are out of date, and best practices that are left unenforced. All it takes is one careless click on a phishing email or a post-it note with a password stuck to the side of a computer monitor— and suddenly your entire company could be at risk.
The cybersecurity experts at 911 IT will help you create systems and protocols that minimize the risk of human error.
Other vulnerabilities we look for include systems that haven’t been regularly updated, patches that have not been installed, and software that has not been hardened with critical upgrades.
And Don’t Forget the Cloud
As more and more of our clients’ operations and data go paperless and take up residence in the cloud, ensuring security there has become especially important to us. A critical aspect of 911 IT’s cybersecurity efforts includes controlling access to critical systems, identifying threats, blocking intrusions, and enabling preventative measures that stymie cybercriminals at every turn.
Let 911 IT’s managed cybersecurity services help you ensure your data and business are protected from unauthorized access, data breaches, and other malicious attacks.

Cybersecurity FAQs
- QWhat is cybersecurity?
Broadly speaking, the term “cybersecurity” means securing data and the technology systems responsible for moving, storing, and authenticating data. For businesses, cybersecurity encompasses the technology that’s in place to help keep the enterprise safe and insulated from digital intrusions. An effective cybersecurity strategy encompasses a combination of technology, procedures, and knowledge to keep the business safe.
- QWhat types of organizations are most at risk for a cyberattack?
In short, everybody. Surprisingly, one would think that a large business with lots of valuable data would be a prime target of cybercriminals. But that is not always the case. Those larger businesses typically have the resources and budget to protect themselves from cyberattacks. On the other hand, small and medium-sized businesses without dedicated IT departments or years of experience with cybersecurity technology are easy targets for hackers.
- QWhat cyberthreats should I be most worried about right now?
If you’ve been paying attention to the headlines recently, you’ll know that ransomware is one of our biggest concerns. In this type of cyberattack, hackers deploy malware that locks up computers, and then they force you to pay a ransom in order to regain access to your system.
- QWhat are some common types of computer viruses?
Common examples of computer viruses include resident viruses, multipartite viruses, browser hijackers, file injectors, overwrite viruses, web scripting viruses, network viruses, and boot sector viruses.
- QWhat is malware?
All computer viruses are malware, but not all malware is a virus. The term is short for “malicious software,” and refers to a program or file that is designed to be intentionally harmful to your computer, network, or website. It infects your system to gather sensitive data, disrupt operations, spy on your digital activity, or publish spam. Common examples of malware include viruses, ransomware, trojan horses, spyware, keyloggers, and worms.

Testimonials
I Would Recommend Them to Anyone!
911 IT has been able to cut our IT expenditures by almost half and at the same time improve our systems reliability. Since moving to their IT Firm we have noticed that they are more knowledgeable than the other companies we have used in the past. When I call in, I do not have to worry about them getting things fixed because they are reliable, fast and they get things done. I would recommend them to anyone that is thinking about changing IT companies. We made the change and are glad we did.

I Strongly and Unequivocally Recommend 911 IT for All Things IT!
911 IT really came to the rescue when all others failed. I mean ALL others failed. My wife and I thought we had lost years of pictures, videos and songs that were stored on our hard drive. Our computer pooped out one day and decided to freeze up the hard drive. Enter 911 IT! It took them a couple of days to get every bit of info from the hard drive. (See what I did there...every BIT? Bad dad joke.) We literally lost sleep thinking we were out all of those memories. I strongly and unequivocally recommend 911 IT for all things IT.

911 IT Really Knows What They are Doing!
911 IT really knows what they are doing! I've had Andrew Shelton help me and my office with many computers and tech needs we have had.

Great dedicated IT team!
We started using 911 IT when we tired of waiting for our issues to get resolved. Having a dedicated IT team, not a tech person that does it "on the side" has saved me time and money. Their experienced team helps me price check and make decisions when it comes to equipment and software. Since outsourcing our IT to 911, the 911 team has setup our new location and everything was running great before we opened our doors. You will not regret it, Call 911 IT!

They are Part of Our Team!
When hiring 911 IT, we didn't realize it would be like having a inhouse IT department without the overhead cost that comes with an inhouse department. They are part of our team. They want us to succeed and they have our best interest in mind. Our problems are resolved quickly, as they want us to be successful and they work to make sure our goals are a priority to them as well. It's such a simple concept, but as a business owner it means a lot. 911 IT is honest and their skills are top notch. Give them a try today! I don't see any reason why you shouldn't!

Their responsiveness is the best I've seen!
We brought in 911 IT because we were at a point in our business where we needed professional IT support. Our business had outgrown the services of our previous technology provider and we couldn't afford the periodic downtime we experienced with our internet and phones. We looked at a few other IT firms and went with 911 because they are truly problem solvers.

911 IT is the go-to for IT services!
This company is the go-to for IT services. They always have someone who is willing to help if not immediately, within the next 24 hours. They know how to fix everything, and their services are wonderful. No matter the time of day or night they are always willing to help me out and they just saved our company after a computer mishap we had. Props to the owner Adam for building such a responsible and trusting company. Would suggest to all my friends looking for IT support hands down.
