It was a time of significant stress as we realized that our previous provider had put few security protocols in place, but Netsurit restored our peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rusk had met Louwki Coetsee, managing director of Netsurit in New York, through a business networking group and knew that Coetsee\u2019s team provided IT support, strategy, and system design. Rusk also knew that Netsurit had the systems and resources that his business required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe were looking for a provider with rigorous and robust processes and procedures in place,\u201d says Rusk. \u201cIt was important for us to work with a provider that could evaluate our systems, assess the threat landscape, and come up with a solution tailored to our needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once Netsurit had secured Rusk Renovation\u2019s IT infrastructure against cybercrime, the provider also insisted on employee training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEmployees who are untrained in proper security practices are a vulnerability,\u201d says Coetsee. \u201cCompanies of all sizes need to be prepared to protect themselves against what might come next. It is critical to train employees to recognize warning signs of cybercrime, as well as how to keep risks low in the first place, and how to report signs of a breach or attack. Clicking on a malicious link is one of the greatest security threats in any organization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, Netsurit also managed Rusk Renovations\u2019 move to the cloud, rolling out Microsoft 365 and Teams and training staff how to use the new solutions. It was not long after that New York City went under lockdown to fight the coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe suddenly faced the prospect of working remotely, away from our beloved office. Thankfully, Netsurit had convinced us to install Teams previously and we simply opened the program and found it was set up and running seamlessly. Thanks to Netsurit we were able to work remotely from day one. And having a remote IT solution was invaluable as the company moved to 15 home offices instead of one centralized location. We are now in the process of sunsetting our current server and moving the rest of the business into the cloud with Netsurit\u2019s assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because Netsurit specializes in proactive maintenance and prevention, the company prevents problems before they occur, and has all the tools and processes in place to support customers remotely, extending a business\u2019s infrastructure beyond the server, says Coetsee. \u201cWhile COVID-19 may have made remote working and communications an absolute necessity, remote IT support provides fast responses, reduced costs, and increased productivity because business operations can continue unhindered. In addition to this, staff are not diverted from their usual tasks, so productivity is not negatively impacted.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rusk Renovations safeguards systems, moves to the cloud with Netsurit
