Social Media use within Business

By

Windows 7 End Of Life | Small Business Server 2011 End Of Life | Server 2008 End of Life | Microsoft Exchange 2010 End of Life | Microsoft Office 2010 End of Life | Netley

How can it benefit my business?

Social Media connects everyone around the world, whether it be in local communities or in other countries. It’s integral in mostly everyone’s day to day lives and influences us more than most realize. It’s free and designed to be engaging with user friendly interfaces catering to all audiences. So, how does this effect the business industry and how can it help your company?

 

Communication

Firstly, and most importantly it offers a platform to build a rapport on a one to one basis where you can interact with each of your customers on a more personal level while keeping the professionalism of your business. Most users are highly reactive on social media, they're going to get notifications on their phone or e-mail and will be able to respond quickly. It opens up other options rather than just phone calls & e-mails. These options can as well be more efficient and effective.

 

Global & Local Marketing

You can reach both a wider level of people but as well target your audience locally if you wish, advertising usually costs a fair amount on different platforms and is usually a question if it will be worth it.  In total there are around 3.2 billion users around the globe, which equates to around 42% of the total population which both benefits large businesses around the globe as well as small time businesses who like to keep local. Especially in urban cities & towns everyone is connected & you shouldn't have any problems with outreach, however, if your business is set up in a remote area it might be slightly more difficult.

Customer Feedback

Customers who are treated well and have had excellent experiences are likely to leave a good review and share your business in the future to their friends and co-workers most likely through social media or just word of mouth.. One share on Facebook or Twitter reaches their whole friends list or followers which could be hundreds or thousands of accounts, this in-turn will help grow your brand and establish yourself. When people see good reviews from customers, they’re more likely to see the authenticity of your business and investigate further maybe looking at your website or looking for contact information.

 

Cost Effective Advertising

Social media usually offers advertising that is cost effective compared to more conventional advertising methods. They usually offer a diverse price range that appeals to everyone, changing how algorithms and filters display your page. You can use unofficial advertising by sharing posts etc on social media or you can use third parties or just pay Facebook, Twitter or Instagram directly to do the advertising for you, each has their own benefits but for different costs. When users are scrolling through their feeds or looking at the latest posts they're more likely to see your advertisement digitally compared to driving past a banner or billboard on their way to work.

 

Reputation Management

You’re able to manage your reputation, you can respond to negative reviews and criticisms and promote the good reviews on your page. Always make sure that you’re responding to negative reviews and trying to resolve the issues before they influence others decisions and opinions on your business. If someone sees lots of negative reviews that haven't been responded to or there's no resolution there's a high chance they're going to look somewhere else.

 

Customer Demographics

You can quickly learn about the demographic of your customers and what they’re usually up to, use the data given to you by analytics to help market your business and tailor your marketing strategies towards your audience and become more acquainted with them. All social medias should provide analytics such as Facebook, Twitter, Google & LinkedIn. These analytics & demographics usually come in the form of graphics & visual representations to give data accurately and you can see potential patterns on who's viewing your website, when are they viewing your website & where are they viewing your website from, there's far more data than just this but it varies for each platform.

SEO Ranking

Having social media pages can help google rank your business, social media profiles that link to your businesses are a great way to find information, contact details and reviews while not having to look directly at your website, often times people might not directly search through google, they might use Facebook, twitter or LinkedIn to find you. It also creates more inbound links to your original website/product garnering you more exposure and potential customers.

You can learn more about SEO from Google here : https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7451184?hl=en

 

Networking & Partnerships

Social Media can also be used for networking & partnerships. Links, recommendations, shout-outs, referrals and joint branding are all options that you could use to promote another business or someone else could do to promote your business. If a customers from your partnered business recommends or commends your business they're going to be more interested or attentive towards you and your brand.

Cyber Security Advice and Help

By

Cyber Security Advice is a broad term which refers to the Systems a Business may have in place to Protect themselves from an IT Security Breach and reduce the risk of being affected by Cyber Crime

These Systems are likely to be a mixture of both IT Hardware, IT Software, Firewalls, Anti-Virus Software, internal IT Policies and Internal Business Polices and of course, importantly, Staff Training and Education

 

"It is important to remember that Cyber Security is not a static subject

As IT Technology evolves, so does the Hackers methods and tactics

Evolve with it or become a victim of Cyber Crime!"

Paul Marsh - Century IT Services

 

There is a general misconception that Cyber Security Advice is all about IT, but this is incorrect

Cyber Security has many different aspects to consider, including IT

Ignoring these other aspects of Cyber Security will simply mean you have Business vulnerabilities which can be exploited, for example Social Engineering

You could have one of the best IT Systems in the world, although if you have poorly educated users, or ones who take risks with IT, or ones that often circumvent IT Security measures. Then you have a employee problem and a employee training issue

Often the people that use IT and Computers are not skilled IT technicians, nor do they want to be. They are likely employeed because they are good at their particular profession

Its important to remember this when considering the subject of Cyber Security Advice

General Business advice would be to visit this Cyber Crime subject within your business on a regular basis to see if your business is doing enough to protect itself from Cyber Crime

This document discusses the broad subject of Cyber Crime Advice, looking at aspects of Protection you might not have necessarily considered

There are so many different Government Organisations offering Cyber Security Advice, this document will try to bring them all together into one useful site resource

And of course, offer some Free Advice on the subject from an IT Expert

Cyber Security | IT Security

The IT Security subject is a broad one and there will be some cross over from one subject area to another.

A good IT Security structure will ensure there are over lapping areas of IT Security. For example functionaility of the Anti-Virus software installed on computers overlaps the functionality of the Firewall

Here is a good place to start if you are serious about improving your own internal IT Security

Cyber Security | IT Systems

Different Business styles and types will likely need to vary the IT Systems, Software and Hardware they utilise within ther respective businesses. And therefore will need to vary the Cyber Security Advice

Although below are the bare necessities to consider for your IT Systems

Cyber Security Advice Southampton | Cyber Security Advice Hampshire

  • Password Polices, do you have polices set to enforce password changes and complexity?
  • Have you set policies on screen savers to blank computer screens and lock screens if they are left unattended?
  • Do you have any intruder detection policies set?
  • Do you have laid down password policies on how often passwords should be changed and if they should be complex?
  • Do all of your staff have local administrator rights on their computers, do they need local admin rights to do their job?
  • Do you have a reputable and capable anti-virus, anti-malware and ransomware protection system?
  • Does anyone check your antivirus is up to date and in an effective state?
  • Do you have a suitable Firewall separating your internal IT Systems from the internet?
  • Do you have a dual filtered incoming Email Spam Detection System?
  • Implement proper IT Network Firewall
  • Regularly review Open Firewall Ports and assess if they are necessary
  • Install and maintain a good IT Anti-Virus Software System
  • Ensure your Anti-Virus software includes Ransomware Protection
  • Review your Data Backup System and Data Retention Period, start with a 90 day minimum Retention
  • Automate the Patching of Microsoft Windows Operating Systems and other Microsoft Applications
  • Automate Patching of other 3rd Party Applications
  • Segment Data and Control which users have access to all the Data
  • Implement Controls to Allow / Block which applications can be installed or used on each computer
  • Implement Controls to recognise DL (Data Leakage) and alert the User and Administator

Cyber Security | Internet Access

As with the subject of IT Security, again a lot of these topics have over subject lapping areas.

A good IT Security structure will ensure there are over lapping areas of IT Security. For example functionaility of the Anti-Virus software installed on computers overlaps the functionality of the Firewall

How are your IT Systems are connected to the Internet?

Cyber Security | IT Policies

IT and Business Policies will help set out how Business and IT Systems will be used, what they can be used for and what is acceptable and non accecptable usage.

These Policies, if followed by everyone, can help reduce the risk of a Cyber Security incident.

And if a Cyber Security incident occurs, these written Policies can lay out an Action List to follow in an emergency

  • Implement Website Controls to block non business-related websites, known black holes, sites reported involving criminal activity, proxy websites and un-categorised websites
  • What measures are implemented to protect both incoming Internet Traffic and Outbound Internet Traffic. Is your firewall capable of scanning incoming and outgoing traffic?
  • Where is your email physically stored? in the cloud? on premise? Or a hybrid of both?
  • Ensure your incoming Email has a Dual Filtered Spam Detection System. This means 2 different suppliers filtering your emails
  • Segement your Data and only allow staff access to the data and systems they need to do their job. This will stop staff inadvertently infecting data with viruses on systems they don't use, don't need and dont have access to
  • If you business offers a Guest or Public Wi-Fi System, separate this service from the main back office computer network
  • Where possible, segement your internal IT Network if you have IT Systems which are internet facing or have public access. Virtual LANs (VLANS) are perfect for this
  • Do you have a written down Company IT Policy for Employees that describes and states what the Business IT Systems, computers, laptops, Internet and Email can be used for? And what is acceptable use and what is not acceptable use
  • Which staff have Remote Access or Work at Home access to your Computer Systems?
  • How does your company handle the Storage of Data? Does everyone have access to everything or have you segmented your data giving your staff access only to the data they need to do their job?
  • Are your staff educated and encouraged to report any mistakes, i.e. clicking on a Spam Email or Suspicious Document?
  • Do you assess how you can reduce human error? For example, emailing the wrong customer with someone else’s information?
  • Do you have a Data Leakage policy
  • Do you have a 'Clear Desk Policy' which can stop sensitive information being left on Office Desks
  • Policies and Procedures - do you have a written down policy on how staff manage customers data and does your staff follow that written down policy?

Cyber Security Advice | Business Culture

All business should nurture a culture where employees are not afraid to report strange IT related error messages or own up to making a error of judgement. i.e.

Opening an email from an unknown sender

Opening that strange attachment

Clicking on that dodgy looking website link

Installing unsanctioned software

Installing Cracked or Rooted Software on their Mobile Phones

Disabling the Antivirus Software

Failing to Reboot their Computer when Prompted

SPAM emails are designed to fool employees into making that bad judgement call and clicking on that link or opening that document attachment

Often these sorts of attacks exploit some already published IT Security flaw, but can often be trying to alter your computer configuration or install that Malware, Back Door Trojan or some other nasty

The quality of SPAM emails are becoming more and more convincing and the phishing more and more sophisticated

Proper Firewall controls should be implemented to reduce the risk of a Cyber Security issue by Denying Access to Non Business related websites, thereby reducing the risk

IT and Security issues should be reported to your IT Team or external IT Support Company so further investigations can be made

Cyber Security Related Questions for you to try to answer

  • Is your incoming and outgoing email journaled, could you look back a minimum 12 months on any external email correspondance?
  • What if an employee leaves, is all of their Email history lost when you delete their email account?
  • Are all of your Servers Operating Systems patched on a regular basis?
  • Are all of your Servers Applications patched on a regular basis?
  • Are all of your Computers and Laptops Operating Systems patched on a regular basis?
  • Are all of your Computers and Laptops Applications patched on a regular basis
  • Are your Computers and Laptops Hard Drives encrypted?
  • What if a Laptop was left on a train or in a taxi, is the Data contained on it stored in a Secure State and Encrypted?
  • Do you have a policy to remove and unistall un-needed or unecessary or unused applications
  • Do you have a Policy for Employees who use their own IT, e.g mobile phones, tablets (BYOD)
  • Where IT Systems support it, have you turned on 2 Factor Authentication
  • Can you Restore Data back from a minimum of 3 months ago?
  • Are your Data Backups Granular and Stored Offsite and Securely?
  • Is your Anti-Virus Software and Ransomware Protection Software operational and up to date?
  • Are your software Applications and Programs purchased from a reputable source or were they from the cheapest place you could find on the internet?
  • Do you have a policy where you allow staff to install any applications they want or have a list of santioned business applications?
  • Do you have a method of blocking old or out-dated applications from running?
  • Do you have method for blocking certain unsanctioned applications
  • Do you have an IT Asset List and know what IT Equipment you have?
  • Do you have internal IT Usage Policies that Staff have read and agreed to?
  • Are your open Firewall Ports reviewed on a regualr basis an the business case for them reviewed regularly?
  • Can you guarantee the Safety and Protection of Customers Data within the confines of your Computer Systems?

Cyber Security | Business Recovery Help Sheet

If you think you have been infected with a Virus or have Ransomware. Or have a Cyber Security Breach don’t panic as this is counter productive

Do have an Action List Prepared in the event of an Emergency. A Cyber Security Action list is likely to contain the following

 

Action List

Cyber Security Advice Southampton| Ransomware Rescue | IT Security Support | IT Support | Cyber Security Advice Hampshire
Cyber Security Advice Southampton | Ransomware Rescue | IT Security Support | IT Support | Cyber Security Advice Hampshire

Turn off affected Computer/s and disconnect computer network cable. Make sure everyone knows not to turn on that computer/s nor plug it in

Contact your IT Support Company immediately and report the incident. Urgency is the key in these situations.

Perform some investigations and Fact finding: -

1) Who Reported the Cyber Security Incident and why? What were the circumstances?

2) Verify the the Cyber Security Incident making notes of any computer messages, computer error messages, changed computer files etc. etc. (use your camera if possible, to take pictures of computer messages)

3) Assess whether there is evidence of a Cyber Security breach or something else

4) If there was a Cyber Security Breach, identify the method of Security Breach and close this Security Vulnerability straight away. For example

  • Was it an Infected Website someone clicked on?
  • Was it a phishing email someone clicked on?
  • Was it a breach of your Computer Network Firewall?
  • Was it something else?
  • Assess the extent of the damage

5) Which computers is the problem affecting, just one? Or all of them?

6) Is the File Server affected or Compromised?

7) Is it just specific data that is affected or all Data?

 

Repairing the Damage

Once an assessment has taken place and the extent of damage identified. Can the IT Systems be repaired quickly minimising disruption to the normal business operations?

In the case of a Computer Virus, can the Computer Virus be removed and Computer System cleaned.

Do the computers need to be reinstalled?

In the case of Data, can the affected Data be Restored from a Recent Data Backup? Or a earlier backup? Or a much, much earlier backup?

 

Stopping a Reoccurance

Once Computer System is repaired, make an assessment on the same thing happening again

1) Do you need to provide staff training?

2) Do you need to improve your IT Systems or IT Security?

3) Do you need to alter your internal Computer Use Policies, or Business Policies?

Cyber Security | When to Report a GDPR Breach

The General Data Protection Regulation builds on existing Data Protection responsibilities and regulations and extends those responsibilities.

Businesses are legally obliged to keep the data they hold secure, and to only use it for agreed purposes.

There are heavy penalties for data security breaches, whether accidental or through misconduct.

For most businesses this means that there are several different angles to look at. You need to consider how your IT Systems are set up, what IT Security is in place, and what your IT Policies are for Data Security and Data Usage.

 

GDPR and Data Protection

Has there been a GDPR or Data Protection breach?

Was there actually a security breach or a virus / ransomware infecting files?

 

Information Commissioner's Office | Guidance on Reporting a GDPR Breach

Guidance from the Information Commisioner's Office is below on when to report a GDPR Breach and when not to report a GDPR breach

"GDPR or DPA 2018 personal data breach"

"A personal data breach is a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data.

If you experience a personal data breach you need to consider whether this poses a risk to people. You need to consider the likelihood and severity of the risk to people’s rights and freedoms, following the breach. When you’ve made this assessment, if it’s likely there will be a risk then you must notify the ICO; if it’s unlikely then you don’t have to report. You do not need to report every breach to the ICO"

 

The ICO offer a 'Self Assessement;  to determine whether your business needs to report a GDPR issue

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/report-a-breach/

Cyber Security | Reporting CyberCrime

Getting your business up and runnning again as quickly as possible will be your primary concern.

Although, reporting these types of Cyber Crime will help Government properley assess the scale of this type of crime and justify the appropiate funding and resources towards these crimes

 

Unreported Cyber Crime is undetected Cyber Crime

Paul Marsh - Century IT Services

 

For many businesses we have helped recover from a Cyber Crime or Ransomware incident, there is obviously a certain degree of of anger that this has happened to their Business

In our experience, most business could do more to better protect themselves and reduce the risk of a Cyber Security event

Although it is important to accept that in the current climate of lawlessness on the Internet, no Company or Organisation is completley immune from a Cyber Security event and completely bullet proof

There are many steps a Business can take to reduce the risk of Cyber Crime happening to them.

And there are also many steps a Business can take to ensure that if they are hit with as Cyber Crime event, disruption is minimised and they can recover quickly with least disruption to the day to day running for their Business

We would recommed, reporting Cyber Crime to ActionFraud National Fraud and Cyber Crime Reporting Centre

Computer Processors Release Dates

By

Processors/CPUs

 

Central processing units, better known as CPU or just a processor! In simple terms it’s tasked with telling all the other computer components what to do and is basically the brain of your computer. Below you can find a list of Computer Processors Release Dates that has been put together.

CPUs don’t just exist in computers, if you think about it any device that requires software to run or needs to carry out a task more than likely has a CPU. There are 2 manufacturers for processors, these being Intel, founded in 1968 and AMD,  which founded in 1969.

You can find CPUs in mobile phones, TV’s and all of your home automation devices such as security cameras and thermostats. If there wasn’t a CPU in any of these devices, we wouldn’t have made the technological advances we already have and will hopefully continue to do.

Moore's Law

There is a famous observation by the name of “Moore’s law” it states that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles about every two years. It’s been widely accepted that this observation still holds true.

The benefit of this is that processor speeds or overall processing power will increase, allowing for your machine to be more optimized and faster, this will facilitate everything you do from running your operating system to streaming media.

 

Looking for your Intel processor? Check the bottom of the article!

Microsoft Life Cycle

Keeping Microsoft Operating Systems upto date with patches and updates from Microsoft, helps to keep your system free from Cyber Attack and any other issues.

All Microsoft products have a product life cycle, the end of this life cycle is called “Extended support”

When the Microsoft “Extended Support” phase ends the following are no longer available

  • Paid support (via Microsoft)
  • Security update and patches
  • The ability to request a non-security hotfix (aka Extended Hotfix Support)

We want to make it clear that the software will not stop working after this date.

You need to be aware that without these key services that are available to you, the IT Security and Stability of your IT Systems is under threat.

Our final back stop is Support from Microsoft (including paid). Without this, there may be a time when we may not be able to assist with fixing issues potentially causing prolonged downtime.

With regards to Server operating systems. Again, you could purchase an upgraded operating system.

Windows 7 & End Of Life and Small Business Server 2011 End of Life

We will provide IT Support Services and IT Support Contracts for End Of Life Products on a best endeavours basis once the Manufacturer has ended support for these products.

Our advice for all SME businesses that has Servers/ PCs and Laptops, these should be changed at least every 5 years. Most business have a 3 - 5 year IT Replacement life Cycle. This will allow for better reliability and a chance to purchase replacement parts if and when required.

I.T equipment older than 5 years in a business environment, should be considered beyond its useful, reliable life

If you are still running any of the operating systems that are already are End of Life, replace them immediately.

We would not recommend using obsolete, unsupported or insecure Microsoft Windows operating Systems that are longer supported by Microsoft. And critically, Microsoft are no longer providing Windows Updates

If you are running any of the operating systems that will go End of Life at the end of 2019. Plan to replace them before the end of the year!

If for any reason you plan to still use an obsolete operating system, please do so at your own risk and in isolation, away from the business computer network.
