Starting problems in January? Here’s how to avoid chaos
Many IT teams start the year in the fog
January. White outside. But so is your inbox? Many organizations are running at half power. Snow, homework, startup hassles. And just then, your IT squeaks and creaks. Slow systems. Wrong access rights. Security warnings no one reads.
This is the time to check your IT startup position
No audit. No stress. Just a smart look at where you stand. At ALTA-ICT, we help companies tighten things up during these weeks:
3 Questions to Ask Now
1. How secure is external access arranged?
Working from home remains. But what about VPN, MFA and session time limits? Old access means new risk.
2. Have your backups been tested after the turn of the year?
A backup that has not been tested is not a backup. Especially after updates or new systems in December.
3. AVG compliant after updates?
New software or cloud integrations can pose AVG risks. Consider logging, data access or storage location.
