When was the last time someone took an outside look at your IT environment? For the month of October, Sierra Experts is offering complimentary IT and cybersecurity consultations for businesses looking to identify potential risks, security gaps, and opportunities to improve their technology. We'll take the time to understand your environment, answer your questions, and help you prioritize what matters most. A stronger cybersecurity strategy starts with knowing where you stand. Schedule your complimentary consultation with Sierra Experts. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #Cybersecurity #ITConsultation #ManagedITServices #BusinessTechnology
Software doesn't stay secure forever. New vulnerabilities are discovered every day, which is why keeping operating systems, applications, firmware, and security tools updated is an important part of cybersecurity. Patching may not be the most exciting part of IT, but staying current can close doors that attackers are looking for. Proactive maintenance matters. #Cybersecurity #PatchManagement #VulnerabilityManagement #ManagedITServices #BusinessTechnology

What happens after a cybersecurity incident? A strong response plan should answer questions like: • Who needs to be contacted? • Which systems should be isolated? • How will critical operations continue? • Who communicates with employees and customers? • How will systems and data be restored? You don't want to figure out the answers while an incident is happening. Planning ahead can make a difficult situation much easier to manage. #Cybersecurity #IncidentResponse #BusinessContinuity #RiskManagement #ManagedITServices

Some things are extra special when they’re named after you. @DangerMulder caught up with Sierra Freshwater to see if she knows what IT stands for and talk about the story behind the company name. Sierra shares what it means to have the company named after her and how proud she is of everything they've built. Watch the clip to hear her share what it means to her. #ManagedITServices #BusinessTechnology #PittsburghBusiness #Pittsburgh #DangerShowPodcast

Who has access to your business data? More importantly, who still has access? Regularly reviewing user permissions can help prevent former employees, outdated accounts, and unnecessary administrative privileges from becoming security risks. Access should be based on what employees need to do their jobs, not what they might need someday. #Cybersecurity #AccessControl #IdentitySecurity #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #ManagedITServices

🕹️ We hid something on our websites. Somewhere on sierraexperts.com or sierradatacenters.com there's a secret arcade game where xBert, our automation robot, takes on a gang of hackers. The first person to find it and email a screenshot to [email protected] wins: Current Sierra customers: a $500 Amazon gift card Not a customer yet: a $500 credit toward any Sierra service with a signed contract One prize per company. The credit applies to a new signed contract. Happy hunting. #EasterEgg #Cybersecurity #Pittsburgh #ManagedIT

Does Tanner Freshwater know what IT is? He does.

On June 3, 2006, we started as Sierra w/o Wires. Twenty years later we're still Pittsburgh-based, still veteran-owned, and still answering our own phones. Recently we celebrated the milestone at our Robinson Township office with our team, families, clients and friends. A big thank you to Betsy Rusnic and the Pittsburgh Technology Council for stopping by to celebrate with Mark Sokolowski and Joshua Knox, our NOC Manager. We're proud to be part of Pittsburgh's tech community. To our clients and partners who have trusted us for two decades, and to the team that shows up every day with 100% in-house support, thank you. Here's to the next 20. #SierraExperts #Pittsburgh #PghTech #20Years #ManagedIT #VeteranOwned

Does Spencer know what IT is? Not exactly. But he does know what AI is…sort of. @DangerMulder talked with Spencer about IT, AI, and the possibility of carrying on the family business someday. His plan for the future? “As long as I have AI.” We think he might be onto something. #ManagedITServices #ArtificialIntelligence #PittsburghBusiness #Pittsburgh #DangerShowPodcast

Does the next generation of Sierra Experts know what IT is? @DangerMulder recently tested Skylar's IT knowledge and found out if she has any plans to take over the family business someday. Her answer? Probably not. We’ll see if she changes her mind before Sierra Experts hits 40 years in business. #ManagedITServices #BusinessTechnology #PittsburghBusiness #Pittsburgh #DangerShowPodcast

Could your employees spot a phishing email? Look for these common warning signs: • The message creates a sense of urgency. • The sender's address looks slightly unusual. • A link leads somewhere unexpected. • The request involves money, credentials, or sensitive information. • The message doesn't sound like the person who supposedly sent it. Phishing attacks continue to evolve, which is why ongoing security awareness matters. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #Phishing #SecurityAwareness #Cybersecurity #BusinessTechnology

Cybercriminals don't always need sophisticated tools to get into a business. Sometimes, they just need one compromised account. Strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, access controls, and employee awareness all play an important role in protecting business accounts. Cybersecurity works best when multiple layers work together. #Cybersecurity #AccountSecurity #MFA #SecurityAwareness #ManagedITServices
