It is less of a riddle than a fact of life: If he has only one head, how can he possibly wear multiple hats?

Answer: He’s a small-business owner, torn between running his business and doing the behind-the-scenes tasks that keep the business humming along.

As you may know, this requires some juggling. So, while the answer to another question may elude you, it won’t for long: What is a compelling way to reduce the number of hats a small-business owner wears to wearing only a single hat?

Answer: by outsourcing the necessary tasks to professional services firms, which have perfected the practice of wearing only one hat.

Some of the more common outsourced tasks include IT services & support, cybersecurity, storage and backup.

“Using IT service providers and cloud solutions to manage your IT functions makes you more agile as a company and provides flexibility as your business grows.”

There is no doubt that the WFH and small office workers rely on technology to accomplish their goals but trying to handle your IT needs on your own while still meeting the needs of your work and growing business is a tenuous balancing act. The nature of smaller businesses lends itself to one central person within the office handling all the company’s technology needs.

Additionally, in building a small business, every set of hands is needed on deck for the task at hand and for most part you are not IT experts. IT support is simply not your field, and you do not care for it to be, so why not utilise our team to take care of all your IT needs.

The pandemic forced us all to adopt remote work, practically overnight, and the era of home-based workforce will continue through 2021 and beyond. As a result, cyber criminals changed their approach and create attacks specifically targeting the home worker. Malicious hackers often include worm functionality modules in their malware, designed to move laterally to other devices on a network.

In 2021, cyber criminals will exploit under-protected home networks as an avenue to access valuable corporate endpoint devices. By deliberately seeking out and infecting the company-owned laptops and smart devices on your home networks, attackers could ultimately compromise corporate networks. Next year, it is expected to see malware that not only spreads across networks but looks for signs that an infected device is for corporate use (such as evidence of VPN usage).
