Get your IT ready for the Holidays
December 3, 2018
Everybody needs a break. After working hard in your business it’s great to take a holiday, but all that good cheer and relaxation will go out the window in a moment if your business suffers an IT disaster while you’re away.
Here’s a short checklist that we suggest you follow to help you avoid a holiday-wrecking business catastrophe:
- Check your firewall is up-to-date (software and firmware)
- Check your server is up-to-date (latest patches)
- Update all security software on servers and PCs
- Run a full back up and make sure a copy is offsite
- Test that your backups work (i.e. run a trial restore to make sure everything comes back)
- Ensure all on-going services are all paid for and will not expire over the holidays
