A: Cyber threats have evolved faster than traditional defenses. Ransomware, phishing, and credential theft now target everyday users—not just IT departments. Modern security focuses on identity protection, continuous monitoring, and reducing risk exposure rather than relying on a single tool like antivirus.

A: Yes—but only with the right strategy. Cloud platforms offer flexibility, remote access, and built-in security, but poor configuration can create new risks and unnecessary costs. The biggest gains come from aligning cloud services with real business needs, not just “moving everything up.”

A: At least quarterly. Technology, security threats, and compliance requirements change too quickly for annual reviews to be effective. Regular check-ins help identify gaps early, control costs, and ensure IT continues supporting business goals instead of reacting to problems.

A: Visibility. Knowing what devices, software, users, and data you have—and how they’re protected—immediately reduces risk and improves decision-making. Many issues stem from blind spots rather than lack of technology.

A: With remote work, cloud apps, and personal devices everywhere, the traditional network perimeter no longer exists. Identity—who is logging in, from where, and under what conditions—has become the most reliable control point. Strong authentication, conditional access, and least-privilege access now play a bigger role in security than firewalls alone.
