Reducing Your Risk with Multi-Factor Authentication
Original date: February 4, 2021
Overview of Webinar

How we work has changed dramatically. Businesses like yours have adapted to operate effectively with the changing times, but you’re not the only ones. Bad actors have honed in on the most effective email phishing methods, and instances of these sophisticated (and virtually undetectable) tactics are on the rise.

The traditional security measures many businesses have in place need to evolve as well to stay ahead of these threats. This is where additional precautions, like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) come in. Learn more about this tool and its place in the current reality.

Recommendations- Holiday Upgrades
Original date: December 2, 2020
Overview of Webinar
The biggest shopping season of the year is right around the corner. As we head into this time, a lot of us may be considering taking advantage of big sales and upgrading personal technology devices. Our experts have some suggestions for making sure that you find the most compatible and long-lasting product the first time around!
Why would CIO Solutions, a managed service provider for business, be giving suggestions for personal technology devices?
WFH has put consumer devices into corporate environments. Although we would love for all WFH environments to have business class devices we recognize that this isn’t always possible. Accordingly, we can help shape your purchases to ensure better security and functionality, and at the very least, help you think through your purchase before you buy that Costco special.
