25.01.2022 Ugh. Phishing scams. They're like a common cold - evolving, mutating and infecting us when we are tired, stressed and our defences are low. There's also another common denominator - when we mention our symptoms to a professional, we are met with, "yeah, this is going around at the moment."... Whilst we can't do a whole lot to avoid getting a cold every now and then, we can avoid phishing email scams with education and training. Keeping your staff 'in-the-know" with news on the latests scams from Scam Watch (https://www.scamwatch.gov.au) is a great place to start. You can also check out our 1 minute video here for a crash course in common cybersecurity threats: https://youtu.be/HgzTX0vhBik Stay safe in cyberspace. #ITservices #ITworker #datasecurity #disasterrecovery #ManagedServiceProvider #ITSupportBrisbane #CyberSecurityBrisbane #managedITservices #cloud #itsecurity #msp #IT #managedservices #businessproductivity #businessefficiency #sophos #microsoft #ITsolutions #phishing

24.01.2022 Here at Productiv we believe that empowering your staff and users with IT education is fundamental to the success of your business's overall IT operations. . Robbie Wright, Productiv’s Service Delivery Manager, explains HOW and WHY we do this -- . Typically we spend time with our clients to understand their lines of business and operations. We are then able to see how people work and interact with their systems and if they may have some sound understanding of ICT. Pro...ductiv can educate users on basic ‘how to’ steps to diagnose and potentially fix small issues before they become bigger issues. This allows a transfer of knowledge and empowers the users resulting in better productivity and happier clients. . Want more info? Reach out to Robbie on 1300 136 677 for an obligation free chat. . #ManagedServiceProvider #ITSupportBrisbane #Brisbane #goldcoast #brisbanebusiness #managedITservices #cloud #itsecurity #msp #IT #managedservices See more

23.01.2022 Keep your eyes peeled for a suspicious email proclaiming to be from the World Health Organisation...

23.01.2022 If youve been following our posts lately you may recall that we recently posted an example ransomware scenario? Firstly, if you do follow our posts awww thanks guys, we hope youve been finding them useful and informative. Secondly, if you missed it, you can still check it out, but the key take-away was [and still is] this ... Ransomware is one of the fastest-rising malware programs in the world. Once this malicious software is in your system, you cant unlock data, or use your keyboard, until you pay a ransom--generally through Bitcoin. Horrible right? The good news is that our mates over at Sophos have devised Intercept X--cutting-edge, next-generation software which offers the most comprehensive threat prevention on the market. Intercept X is essentially a new-generation security platform. Its based on a unique form of "machine" learning, or artificial intelligence, based on a complex, evolving neural network. Whats so unique about this platform is that Intercept X notices any malware, known or unknown. Intercept X doesnt just block the threat--it shows you how the attack accessed your network if it touched any files, and what steps you should take next. Hands up if youd like to take it for a test drive? #ITskillsshortage #ITservices #ITworker #datasecurity #disasterrecovery #ManagedServiceProvider #ITSupportBrisbane #CyberSecurityBrisbane #managedITservices #cloud #itsecurity #msp #IT #managedservices #businessproductivity #businessefficiency #sophos #microsoft #sophos #interceptx

21.01.2022 It may very well be the most wonderful time of the year, but for many parents juggling work and kids, its also a pretty stressful time of the year. The school year is about to end, and school holidays are about to start (some schools have even started eek). You know what that means? ... Yep - Screen Time!!! Whether our kids are using messaging apps, social media sites like Instagram and Facebook, streaming videos, texting, gaming, and/or shopping, theyre consuming soooo much online content. As time-poor, and often stressed-out parents (especially at this time of the year), its easy to become complacent with screen time. Youre not alone. Heres our top tip --- Talk to your kids about cyber safety in an open and caring way, and encourage them to keep you in the loop with their online activities, as they would their real-life activities. An open and caring conversation can be game-changing. PS. Massive shout out to all the parents doing the work/kids dance may you find a little space to relax and unwind over Christmas. #datasecurity #disasterrecovery #ManagedServiceProvider #ITSupportBrisbane #CyberSecurityBrisbane #managedITservices #cybersafety #itsecurity #msp #IT #businessproductivity #businessefficiency #sophos #microsoft #kidscybersafety

20.01.2022 Wise words from Productivs Service Delivery Manager Robbie Wright regarding the importance of mitigating risk when it comes to protecting your IT assets. Typically in small medium-sized businesses there will be a single person employed in the IT Department who generally reports to either a CFO or Financial Manager. Often we will receive phone calls when the IT Manager / Employee has walked away from the business and there are security concerns as this person (sometimes ...disgruntled) has the keys to the gates including all usernames/passwords to hardware, user accounts, emails, company data etc. Engaging a Managed IT Service Provider to manage the businesses ICT removes this risk, allowing the business to focus on their core business and customers. #ITskillsshortage #ITservices #ITworker #datasecurity #disasterrecovery #ManagedServiceProvider #ITSupportBrisbane #CyberSecurityBrisbane #managedITservices #cloud #itsecurity #msp #IT #managedservices #businessproductivity #businessefficiency #productivity #datalossprevention #newtech #workflow #itserviceprovider #itdepartment

17.01.2022 We all want simple and easy to use workplace tech right? Heres an easy productivity hack to help get you started on simplifying your workplace IT today: Use a Password Manager ... A password is like a key: when you have it, access is quick and easy, when you dont, you are stuck. Each year, valuable working hours are wasted on trying to remember passwords, trying different passwords, and, ultimately, on resetting the password so the user can get back into the system. Password managers eliminate this, saving crucial minutes every time the user logs in; minutes which seriously add up over the year. Password managers also support seamless cross-platform actions, further boosting productivity across entire teams.

12.01.2022 Shopping around for a Managed IT Services Provider is a bit like shopping for white paint if you look at them separately they look much the same as each other, but once you put them side-by-side the differences are pretty obvious. So, how do you know which MSP (or white paint ) is the right one? Start with your non-negotiables.... Perhaps youre a small business and you want an MSP with the same team of engineers who can assist you both on-site and remotely? Or, if we take the white paint scenario for instance, you may know you want a cool white, but not too cool its clinical looking. Once you get the non-negotiables out of the way, you can delve further into the due diligence process. Ask prospective MSPs -- 1. How Will You Customise Your Service And Solutions To Meet The Needs Of My Company? 2. Whats Your Support Process? 3. What Is Your Cybersecurity Protocol? 4. What Sort Of Systems Monitoring Do You Provide? 5. How Will You Keep Us Informed And Involved? 6. What Are The Terms Of Your Service Level Agreement (SLA)? 7. Do You Provide Your Own Cloud Solutions Or Are They Outsourced To Another Provider? 8. How Do Innovation And Adopting New Technologies Fit Into Your Service Plan? 9. Who Is Your Ideal Client? 10. How Will You Help Us To Grow Our Business? If you start with the non-negotiables shopping for a Managed IT Services Provider can be a straight-forward and even pleasant experience. Want to know our answers to these questions? Reach out on 1300 136 677 or [email protected]. Until then, BRB, off to Bunnings to choose the perfect white paint for the lounge-room. #ITservices #ITworker #datasecurity #disasterrecovery #ManagedServiceProvider #ITSupportBrisbane #CyberSecurityBrisbane #managedITservices #cloud #itsecurity #msp #IT #managedservices #businessproductivity #businessefficiency #sophos #microsoft #ITsolutions #datasecurity #itsolutions

10.01.2022 Remember when WE feared technology would replace US and take OUR jobs? The opposite has proven to be true even with advancements in artificial intelligence. While machines have made carrying out repetitive tasks more efficient, this growth in technology has created more skilled jobs in areas including hardware development, software engineering, data science, project management, machine learning, and cyber security. ... Now, Australia is currently facing a shortage of skilled IT specialists on a massive scale. According to a report by Deloitte the demand for IT workers is expected to grow from 663,100 in 2017 to 758,700 by 2023 representing a creation of almost 100,000 roles. Check out our blog to learn how this skills shortage may affect your business over the coming years, and what can you do to combat it... https://productiv.com.au//what-the-it-skills-shortage-in-/ So it seems machines wont be replacing us after all.

04.01.2022 Starting the work week? . As a business owner or manager, you're probably bending over backwards trying to juggle everything right? We hear you! . Not only do you have to manage staff, provide great products or services to your customers and clients, and keep your business running efficiently on a day-to-day basis, but you also need to ensure that you’re reducing costs wherever you can and maximising your business’ profit potential. . IT is an absolute essenti...al for any modern business, but can also eat into your profits significantly if it’s not well managed. . Hardware and software is expensive, but for most businesses it isn’t an optional requirement. Chances are, you need up-to-date and high-quality equipment and systems in order to run your business effectively. . On top of these costs, you also need to factor in the expenses of making sure all these IT resources are working as they should be. Most businesses rely on their IT systems working 24/7, or at least during business hours, and if they go down it could spell disaster. Data loss and downtime is estimated to cost Australian businesses an average of over $2,000 an hour for the smallest organisations, and even more for larger businesses. . So how do you make sure that your IT systems are running at an optimal level, and that you can recover quickly from any problems? Having an in-house team of IT professionals is a possible solution, but for most SMEs, it’s more cost-effective to outsource this duty to a managed service provider, or MSP. . By now you are probably feeling a bit like this --- . We can help feel free to DM, call or email us for an obligation free chat. . #ITservices #ITworker #datasecurity #brisbane #goldcoast #disasterrecovery #ManagedServiceProvider #brisbanebusiness #ITSupportBrisbane #CyberSecurityBrisbane #managedITservices #cloud #itsecurity #msp #IT #managedservices #businessproductivity #businessefficiency See more

03.01.2022 Technophobia = A fear, dislike, or avoidance of new technology. --> You might have heard the term being used around the family dinner table as a way to describe your older and self-proclaimed wiser sisters reluctance to join The Facebook, or maybe its your Dads refusal to upgrade his old Nokkia phone because it does the job. --> Whilst its fun to ruffle up Dads feathers, chances are we can all relate to what provokes this fear of new technology. ...

02.01.2022 Its 5.30pm at the office. Youre just about to grab your bag and walk out the door. But before you hit the road, youve got a couple of emails to reply to. ... You jump on the chair, look up at your screen, and BAM! Your desktop looks different Theres a message on your screen: The only way to access your digital files or unlock your computer is to pay a ransom." This is what ransomware looks like. Victims of a ransomware attack will usually be expected to make a Bitcoin payment through an untraceable portal, and often there are penalties for late payment. The cold reality is that some businesses will make this payment. Why? In order for a business to continue with their day-to-day operations, sometimes the victim will see no other option than to pay the ransom which is exactly why this particular threat is so hard-hitting. Please, dont assume the cybercriminal will restore your IT systems if you pay the ransom. If you are facing a RANSOMWARE attack, ASK FOR HELP! Support + Early Intervention = Better Outcomes For Your Business. #ITservices #ITworker #datasecurity #disasterrecovery #ManagedServiceProvider #ITSupportBrisbane #CyberSecurityBrisbane #managedITservices #cloud #itsecurity #msp #IT #managedservices #businessproductivity #businessefficiency #sophos #microsoft #ransomware

01.01.2022 Failure // Under-Achiever // Incompetent Call it what you want, weve all felt like this at some point in our career or personal life. If youre going through it right now, it might be hard to see the way out. ... Heres our two cents Working with Information Communication Technology means that we are always innovating: searching for answers and ways to use technology to make our clients lives more productive -- and, all within a crowded, fast-paced, and often very competitive space. Failure is inevitable. But is it the end? Absolutely not. At Productiv, we subscribe to the Elon Musk school of thought on failure -- "Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough." If its been one of those days/months/years, dont give up. As long as youre failing, youre innovating. #innovation #ITinnovation #ITskillsshortage #ITservices #ITworker #datasecurity #disasterrecovery #ManagedServiceProvider #ITSupportBrisbane #CyberSecurityBrisbane #managedITservices #cloud #itsecurity #msp #IT #managedservices #businessproductivity #businessefficiency #sophos #microsoft #itsolutions #failing #innovating
