Beyond the Cape: Why Your IT Team Needs a Cybersecurity Hero
The tale of billionaire Bruce Wayne leading Wayne Corp by day and safeguarding Gotham as Batman by night captivates us in movies. It’s a thrilling narrative, but in reality, juggling such distinct roles, especially in the digital world, is not just challenging – it’s nearly impossible.
In the digital age, your IT team plays a crucial role in maintaining your business operations, from managing networks to resolving tech issues. However, the realm of cybersecurity presents a different challenge. With cyber threats evolving rapidly, expecting your IT team to handle all aspects of digital security may leave you vulnerable. This ‘do-it-all’ approach can inadvertently give cybercriminals an edge.
But don’t just take our word for it. Take a minute to ponder on these 7 Questions and see if you can identify any holes in your cybersecurity approach.

Do You Need A Dedicated Cybersecurity Team?
The sad truth is that the more you grow, the more vulnerable your business becomes. That’s because every person in your company represents 4-10 common points of vulnerability. So if you just have 10 employees, that’s 40-100 points of vulnerability that need to be protected 24/7/365.
Here's the hard truth: While cybercriminals only need to hit the target once, you've got to be bulletproof around the clock. There's no room for error. Just one slip-up could be game over for your business.
Cyber incidents aren't just about data breaches; they're about lost hours and revenue. If a 48-hour disruption sounds painful, it's time to ask if you're investing enough in cybersecurity. It's not just about numbers; it's about making informed decisions and managing your digital risk
Unfortunately, doing the basics just won't cut it anymore. The hard truth is that the average data breach goes undetected for nearly 7 months in the US. And here's the kicker: while big corporations make headlines, 60% of small businesses hit by cyberattacks close their doors within half a year.
Your data and intellectual property are your business's lifeblood. But did you know that some of the most devastating threats could come from within? Imagine a frustrated employee sabotaging your systems, or someone secretly selling your trade secrets. What if someone facing personal challenges gets tempted to compromise your business? Or a seemingly harmless maintenance worker sneaks in malware? It's not just about external attacks; you also need to be able to recognize and defend against the unseen dangers lurking from within.
Every connected device, be it robotics, a smart TV, or an employee's iPad, is a potential entry point for a cyberattack. The real kicker? You can't just install antivirus on these devices. Without the right security, they're like invisible doors for attackers. We're talking about total blind spots in a world where visibility is key.
A "vendor" might sell you a solution and assure you all is well. But if things go south, guess who's left holding the bill? Yep, you! From lost revenue, ransomware hits, legal fees, to soaring insurance premiums – and the list can go on and on. A genuine cybersecurity "partner"? They're in it with you. We believe if we can’t hold up our end and keep you safe as promised, then we should shoulder the financial hit and make things right.
