Let’s start with the how.
There are many different ways Ransomware can affect your business. The most common way is having ports open to your network for Remote Desktop or website servers onsite. There are many secure ways to still accomplish having these things, however, many businesses do not have the extra security in place.Remote access is something that is becoming more and more needed in our world. We want to be able to work from anywhere, especially as a business owner. There are many secure applications out there to pay for like logmein and screen connect. You can also have a secure SSL VPN implemented to go along with your open ports for an added layer of protection.
Is Anti-Virus Enough Protection From Ransomware?
Having one security measure in place like anti-virus is not enough anymore. We need layers of security starting with a firewall. Your firewall should have anti-virus protection, content filtering and intrusion detection and prevention.
Next you should have secure, encrypted, offsite backups running automatically. Proper password management such as password expirations and complex password requirements is also very important. Along with anti-virus, this is how you protect your business.
Speak with us any day about how to ensure your business is protected from Ransomware attacks.

The decision to purchase your home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make, and will also be one of your largest investments. Done right, it can also be one of the most exciting and fulfilling times in your life! When you work with Chas Zemluk at CIR Realty, you are getting a dedicated real estate professional looking out for your best interest. Check out her latest real estate article where she shares her perspective on "Getting The Job Done" and what it actually takes to become a customer service specialist and a strategic professional in the Real Estate Industry. Chas Zemluk Real Estate - CIR Realty is a Trusted Calgary REALTOR®
Being "Trusted" comes with major responsibilities as a business owner and Chas elaborates on a couple of really strong aspects of what it takes to become more than just your everyday real estate agent.
To “Get The Job Done” means different things to different people in my opinion.
I have come across professionals who go through their day to day doing the minimum to get through their workday & get paid – their job is done. Then there are professionals who go over and beyond for the people around them and more often – their clients, to do more than what is expected – and for some, that simply equates to a smile, a bounce in their step, time & attention! But a “strategic professional” will get the job done in more ways than just providing great customer service!
In any profession, there are always ways to do better, be better and think outside the box, learning & growing in all ways- Always. Those who seek that out, are usually the ones who are greatly rewarded. Let’s be honest – anyone can go out and show homes – but being a customer service specialist AND strategic professional takes knowledge, experience, personality, passion and a desire to learn! Hire someone who embodies both and you’ve got yourself a slam dunk, grand slam, touchdown, goal!!!!
In Real Estate – every deal is extraordinary and it’s what REALTORS® who are passionate thrive off of! Personally, I absolutely love the negotiation process and strategies associated with marketing my clients' properties. I’m always looking for different angles, options & strategies to provide the most value for my clients – and every deal is different so I am always seeking new unique strategies. Communication, Diligence & Integrity are some pretty important key components to consider when deciding who to hire for any service! Don’t let your emotions get in the way of your gut feelings – especially with one of the biggest assets (and possible losses) of your life (but we will save that topic for another post). Ask questions, work together on expectations & truly feel it – in your gut – that your Calgary REALTOR® is working for YOU with remarkable customer service & strategies that prove just that!
