The Ins and Outs of Cloud Dekstops (aka VDI or DaaS)

December 11, 2020/in Cloud Services, Small Business IT/by Russell Kuhl

A lot of businesses are making the move to the cloud with the logic of “why pay for servers, licenses, power redundancy, backups and support when I can just move all of my applications, files and email to the cloud?” For some businesses, just moving your files to the cloud is sufficient (for example, if […]

When Defenses Fail

If you are doing things correctly, you’ve got a solid firewall protecting your network, enterprise-grade endpoint protection on each computer and (hopefully) some reliable content filtering in place to keep your employees (and your business!) safe. But there could be one very import piece missing here – – how do you know when these defenses […]

A lot of businesses are making the move to the cloud with the logic of “why pay for servers, licenses, power redundancy, backups and support when I can just move all of my applications, files and email to the cloud?” For some businesses, just moving your files to the cloud is sufficient (for example, if you don’t have any applications, such as QuickBooks or time tracking software, that you share…but more on that in another post). But, for many, the idea of moving their whole infrastructure to the cloud is very attractive. With this option, your infrastructure becomes much more simplified and your IT expenses become very predictable – – and you get the added bonus of anytime, anywhere any device access to the stuff that runs your business. Done right, this creates a truly “worry-free” IT infrastructure.

If you are doing things correctly, you’ve got a solid firewall protecting your network, enterprise-grade endpoint protection on each computer and (hopefully) some reliable content filtering in place to keep your employees (and your business!) safe. But there could be one very import piece missing here – – how do you know when these defenses fail? “Fail?” you say? “They shouldn’t ever fail!” Unfortunately, that’s just not the case. The old sports adage about offense and defense holds true in IT, too – – Defense has to be right 100% of the time and Offense only has to be right once to win. So, eventually, defense will always lose. And statistics show it is most frequently not even faulty technology at the root of the breach, it is the human factor. So, it’s not a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when”. With the increase of attacks lately on Microsoft 365, you’re not guaranteed security there, either.
