FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

These are some of the most common questions we hear from businesses when evaluating their IT environment. The answers below are designed to provide clarity on key risks, best practices, and the decisions that impact security, stability, and day-to-day operations.

Why do we need to upgrade to Windows 11?

Windows 10 is no longer supported by Microsoft leaving your business open to security threats that are no longer being patched for outdated operating systems.

The pro version of Windows is built for businesses offering an additional layer of security in the form of BitLocker device encryption, can be managed from a server or Microsoft 365 depending on your organization’s setup.

Storing files in cloud storage offers multiple benefits such as access to your files remotely, ability to recover from an individual computer that crashes, ease of working across multiple devices, and ease of sharing large files with others.

DKIM is an email authentication method that cryptographically proves to recipients that the mail you send really came from your mail server, and not a malicious actor pretending to be you.

SPF is another layer of security that designates which servers are authorized to send email from your domain.
DMARC specifies to servers receiving mail from your domain what policies should be followed to verify the messages are legitimate.

Using all three in combination prevents your domain from being used in phishing and spoofing attacks and reduces the risk of your customers receiving an email from your domain that is not from your company

Enterprise grade firewalls offer many benefits to businesses from improved security features, remote monitoring and management, automatic firmware updates, and can provide better performance compared to consumer firewalls.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is critical to securing your accounts. Microsoft research shows that accounts with MFA are upwards of 99.9% less likely to be compromised. When combined with our alerting platform which monitors events when your password is input correctly but it fails MFA, it allows us to secure your account before you are breached.

Microsoft 365 is a great platform which holds a significant amount of data for many businesses. While this data is setup in redundant configurations it is not backed up automatically by Microsoft. That responsibility lands with the consumer so it is essential to set up automatic backups of this data with active monitoring of the backups to ensure you are fully protected from an array of issues ranging from accidental deletions all the way to hackers encrypting all of your data. Techion provides a backup service that backs up your Microsoft 365 data including Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams at least once a day.

While the built-in spam filters that are included with most free email accounts are enough for personal email, they are not appropriate for business email. A good spam filter will use advanced tools to detect various forms of malicious intent, will block sensitive data from being leaked by company employees and help in investigations when required.

Defender offers basic protection for your machine. It lacks automatic lock-down protection, alerting, active monitoring and integration into our security operations center.

For small businesses the cost of hiring an individual staff member that can do all the same functions as an MSP is prohibitive, which is why it makes more sense to outsource your IT services needs in most cases. For larger businesses an MSP can be used in conjunction with internal IT staff to cover areas they lack knowledge of, or to remove the menial tasks so they can focus on more impactful work within the organization, as well as providing support when your internal IT staff is unavailable or on vacation. Internal IT staff can also be given access to Techion’s internal RMM and ticketing systems for your company to help your internal IT staff manage your workstations, support requests, and task management/delegation more efficiently.
