As the year draws to a close, it’s time to take a closer look at the computers, business data and the trends that have emerged over the past year. The data shows that the computer industry has seen a steady growth in demand, with a significant increase in sales during the holiday season. This can be attributed to the rise of remote work and online learning, which has led to an increase in demand for laptops and desktops.
Looking ahead, the trend towards remote work and online learning is expected to continue along with increased demand for computers. The industry is also expected to see further innovation, with the introduction of new technologies such as AI and 5G. Overall, the year-end computer business data presents a positive outlook for the industry, with opportunities for growth and innovation.
Whether you are purchasing a computer this Christmas season or you already have a computer in your home or in your business, we have a few recommendations for keeping your data safe and secure.
End of The Year IT Best Practices
- Make sure to back up your data on a regular basis and to check the backups to make sure they work. The best way to back up your data is automatically using something individually like Carbonite or a business grade backup Cove-Data-Protection. Think about how much data you can afford to lose and backup accordingly. For some people that will mean backing up your data every hour and for others daily or weekly. And we can do this for you automatically.
- Review your computer internet security for the coming year. Are you protected against the latest threats? Call us at 615-443-4842 to discuss your current systems and how you can ensure you are protected.
- How many of your computers are on Windows 10 and cannot be updated to Windows 11? These Windows 10 computers will need to be replaced because they do not have the security that is included in Windows 11 which will leave your business vulnerable to attack. Staples, Dollar Tree, AutoZone and HCA are a few of the latest examples of corporate security breaches where data was stolen. And these same attacks are happening to small businesses every day.
- Have you made sure employees no longer with you have been removed from all access databases? Have their passwords and all their permissions been revoked?
