##  [Why Basic Antivirus Won't Save Your Company from Ransomware](https://colemantechnologies.com/newsletter-content/why-basic-antivirus-won-t-save-your-company-from-ransomware)

It is tempting to look at your monthly IT bill and wonder if you could be doing more with less. I see it all the time: a business owner tries to trim the overhead by simplifying their technology. Usually, that starts by letting go of a managed security plan in favor of a basic, off-the-shelf antivirus found online for a few dollars a month.

Most business owners view their IT the same way they view their utilities: they only notice it when the connection drops or a system fails. However, in an era where your digital infrastructure is the backbone of your entire operation, waiting for something to break before you address it is risky.

Running a small business is often romanticized as a scrappy adventure, a series of late nights and breakthroughs, but anyone actually in the trenches knows it’s more like trying to repair a plane while it’s hurtling through the air at thirty thousand feet than it is a pleasant stroll in the park.

Ask a handful of IT consultants to explain the cloud, and you’ll likely be met with a blizzard of buzzwords—”scalability,”“elasticity,” and “hybrid infrastructure”—that do very little to help you hit your quarterly goals.

All the noise aside, the cloud isn’t a mystery; it’s simply renting someone else's computer. Instead of maintaining a server box in your broom closet, you are leasing space on high-performance machines owned by giants like Microsoft, Amazon, or Google. They own the hardware; you own the results.

Most business owners I talk to have some form of backup. Maybe it's an external drive plugged into a server, or perhaps everything is saved in the cloud. While these are great starts, they often have a single point of failure. If your office has a fire, that external drive is gone. If a user accidentally deletes a folder and it syncs to the cloud, that data might be gone before you notice.

To make a backup "trustworthy," we use a framework called the 3-2-1-1 Rule. It sounds like a football play, but it’s actually a recipe for peace of mind.

It’s easy to fall into the trap that you have to be the entire C-Suite for your business all in one. You should be running your business, not managing its IT infrastructure, and trying to do it all will only pull your focus away from what matters most. Instead of worrying about endless security threats, unpredictable technology costs, and countless tech support questions, you should work with a managed IT provider.

It’s easy in IT to see a large IT invoice and think something needs to be done about it, but have you ever stopped to think about how much lost productivity is costing your business? Chances are, it’s even more than what it costs to receive IT support. Today, we’re exploring this invisible tax you pay due to poor IT performance (and what you can do to stop it).

Is your business technology a source of uncertainty and frustration? Are you constantly reacting to IT problems when you would prefer to proactively leverage technology to drive your business’ growth? This struggle is often the result of the Executive IT Gap, a phenomenon that traps businesses in an endless cycle of reactive, costly, and inefficient technology decisions that slow down growth.

A significant and growing number of small businesses are either actively using AI tools or exploring their potential, motivated by the promise of increased efficiency, cost savings, and gaining a competitive edge.

It's an exciting movement, proving that AI isn't just for huge mega corporations. Small businesses are using AI for everything from generating marketing content and handling customer service inquiries with chatbots to analyzing customer data and automating back-office tasks. The goal is to compete faster and smarter.

Stuff happens, and this stuff can often be bad. That’s an inescapable part of life, especially if you’re trying to run a successful business. That said, the consequences of this bad stuff can usually be minimized—if not mitigated entirely—when you have a proper disaster recovery strategy.

Let’s review what goes into preparing this kind of strategy in the most effective way and what makes it so crucial.

This is one of the most dangerous misconceptions a small business can have. If you believe this, you may not fully understand how modern cyberattacks work. Let’s break down why this mindset can leave your business vulnerable.

Nobody likes getting large support bills from technology companies—especially when they are unexpected. This is the case for both the business owners footing the bill and the employees who might be held responsible for racking up the bill in the first place. This puts SMBs in a bit of an impossible situation; either spend money to keep employees productive, or save money and suffer from productivity issues.

With technology being so important for all businesses in at least some capacity, it’s no small wonder that effectively using it (and having someone on-hand to manage it all) is tremendously valuable for any company. This is where a managed service provider (MSP) can be helpful, even for businesses that have a dedicated IT department. All small businesses benefit from working with an MSP.

I was meeting with an old colleague the other day. We met over Microsoft Teams to just check in and see how they were doing—no real itinerary, just to check in with a familiar face that I haven’t personally talked to in a few years. They had a little trouble getting into Microsoft Teams, since they were used to Zoom. I patiently smiled and helped them through it, and told them “No worries, it’s always the little differences that complicate things!”

At the time, I said this just to be empathetic. At first, the nerdy computer-geek part of my brain told me that the process to get into a Zoom meeting vs a Teams meeting, from their perspective, is exactly the same. But after the call, I really thought about this small interaction, and you know what? Things **have** gotten complicated.
