Cybersecurity issues are stacking up fast. New software flaws show up every day, and they can leave your business exposed. Most small businesses do not have someone on hand to keep an eye out for these problems.
If you are handling your computers and security by yourself, it’s easy to miss something important. That is where we help.
Music City Technology is built for businesses without a large IT team. We handle your technology and cybersecurity so you do not have to wonder if you are safe.
This article covers one of the main risks right now: security holes in software you already rely on.
A vulnerability is a flaw in software or hardware that could let hackers in. When one of these flaws is found, it’s given a tracking number called a CVE. That stands for “Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures.” Think of a CVE as a public label that says, “This problem exists and needs to be fixed.”
Experts around the world track these CVEs. When a new one is found, it’s added to a global database so software companies can fix it and security teams can prepare. But here’s the issue: Hackers can see these updates too. Many of them start attacking before most people get around to installing the fix.
And this isn’t rare. On average, over 100 new CVEs are reported every single day.
Most small and mid-size companies don’t have the time or support to keep up. That’s exactly what attackers are counting on.
Some facts you should know:
These problems aren’t just happening to others. They’re common. And they’re expensive.
Here’s how it usually works:
It usually takes less than a week from the time a CVE is published until attackers try to use it. So the clock starts ticking fast and many small organizations can’t act that quickly.
Small businesses often have three big problems when it comes to cybersecurity:
This creates the perfect storm: more risk, slower response, and far less support.
Some of the most effective steps are also the most overlooked:
MCT offers security awareness training to meet your business where it’s at. Ask us about how to make your team more resilient.
Not only do we keep our clients software and hardware updated, we’ve built out policies unique to each client that ensures that updates are applied ASAP. No more waiting for the next maintenance cycle. If your IT provider still has you on a “Monthly Maintenance” schedule for security patching, tell them to get with the times.
3. Use good tools for detecting suspicious activity
Every computer, network, and end user is unique. MCT uses a blend of different tools and reporting that all work together to provide the best insight and fill in the gaps that a single assessment tool might miss.
4. Don’t assume insurance will fix everything. Prevention still matters.
It’s important to remember that we wouldn’t have a business without customers. Can your customers trust that their private information is protected?
You’ve already got enough on your plate. You don’t have time to chase security updates or dig through technical reports. That’s where Music City Technology comes in.
We handle your IT and security in the background, keeping things updated, protected, and running like they should. No extra work for you. No full-time IT department needed. Just steady, reliable coverage so you can stay focused on your business.
