- Maintenance Plan: Implement a maintenance plan for your computers to ensure they are updated regularly and receive security patches
- Backup/Disaster Recovery: Make sure you have a good backup system in place that makes sense for your business. Whatever solution you choose should create off site backups as well as imaged based backups to provide you with faster restore times.
- Hardware Upgrade Plan: Create an upgrade plan for your older machines. It’s much better to replace technology on your terms rather than when a disaster strikes due to hardware failure. Planning your technology upgrades not only helps you reduce downtime and lost productivity, but you can also stagger the upgrades which makes it easier to budget.
- Antivirus Software: Get a good antivirus program and install it on all of the computers and servers on your network. Protecting your client and corporate data is not something that you should skimp on.
- Enterprise Firewall: Don’t have a good firewall? Get one. Have an old firewall? Replace it. Just bought a firewall last year, make sure you have purchased any advanced security licenses for the firewall to ensure you are the best protection it can provide.
