Hello Newsletter Subscriber!
Welcome to the first RTS Newsletter! In this first edition, we’ll talk about some recent cybersecurity news, why we want to be your IT subscription, and even give you some handy Tech Tips!
Protecting your business from cyber threats is more important than ever, as recent warnings from cybersecurity experts show. This week, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a warning about four critical bugs in Microsoft and Apple software that could be targeted by cybercriminals. CISA has given federal agencies 21 days to ensure their devices are patched to prevent any potential cyberattacks.
One of the bugs that attacks web browsers, affects Apple devices running macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. This bug could be used by hackers to execute code and compromise your device. Apple has released a patch to fix the vulnerability, but it’s important to ensure your devices are updated to the latest software version.
Microsoft has also patched three bugs this week, two of which could allow hackers to gain remote access to your device. Two of these vulnerabilities affect the Windows Graphics Component and the Common Log File System Driver. Another bug is a Microsoft Office macro policy bypass that could be used to carry out a local attack on your computer.
Bugs like these only show the importance of keeping your devices up to date. Riverland Technology Services takes care of updates for all of your company’s devices as part of our Managed Services.
Here at Riverland Technology Services, we enjoy working with IT and cybersecurity, and making sure everything works exactly how it should.
When we say we want to be your IT subscription, we mean we want to be there for your business, not just when your IT breaks, but proactively making sure your systems are up-to-date, fast, and reliable. And if you do ever encounter any issues, we’ll be there, right with you, until your problem is solved.
We don’t like the idea of just fixing things when they break though, we want to make sure your IT doesn’t break in the first place, and we’ve spent countless hours, and will spend countless more, to make sure our solutions do just this.
Throughout those countless hours, we’ve found what solutions work, what doesn’t, and what will provide the best value, without compromising on quality. This puts us ahead of the competition, as we don’t put your business at risk of cyber threats, but still offer the best pricing we can.
We are always in constant communication with other IT providers around the world to make sure we are ahead in terms of security vulnerabilities and breaches, software tools, industry trends, and more!
