18.01.2022 Instant Asset Write-Off Thresholds Increased and Expanded

07.01.2022 Why Your Cyber Resilience Plan Doesnt Include Windows 7 2020 Threat Report shows increasing risks for businesses and consumers still running Windows 7, which ceased updates, support and patches earlier this year. In fact, according to the report, malware targeting Windows 7 increased by 125%. And 10% of consumers and 25% of business PCs are still using it. Webroot Security Analyst Tyler Moffitt points out that a violation due to a data breach could cost a business $50 per cu...stomer per record. For one Excel spreadsheet with 100 lines of records, that would be $50,000. Compare that with the cost of a new workstation that comes pre-installed with Windows 10 at around $500, and you quickly realize the cost savings that comes with offloading your historic OS. Continuing to run Windows 7 effectively more than doubles the risk of getting malware because hackers scan for old environments to find vulnerable targets. Making matters worse, malware will often move laterally like a worm until it finds a Windows 7 machine to easily infect. And in a time when scams are on the rise, this simple OS switch will ensure you are not the weakest link. The best way to close any gaps in protection you may have is to deploy a multi-layered cyber resilience strategy, also known as defense-in-depth. But since cyber resilience is also about getting systems restored after an attack, its also important to have backups that enable you to roll back the clock on a malware infection. Call Prime Computers today to see how we can help you and your business bolster security and create a robust backup plan. (02) 8188 0133
