Imagineering

Imagineering helps local businesses with computers, internet, email, & cybersecurity. No two clients are the same and are never treated like they are.

In 1996, Dave Hanson founded HOOPS, an accounting software company based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. After many years of dealing with hardware and network security inconsistencies, he was most troubled by their IT support lacking in the most crucial area — customer service. The need for a reliable IT service provider quickly became clear, so Dave purchased Imagineering Computer Consultants in 2007.

Protecting Your Business from Business Email Compromise - Imagineering 07/16/2024

Did you know that email is the starting point for 91% of all cyberattacks? Every day, there are approximately 156,000 attempts of business email compromise. More than 90% of all successful cyberattacks begin with a phishing email, making it clear that businesses need to be vigilant in their email practices.

🔧 Regular IT maintenance isn't glamorous, but it's crucial for preventing costly downtime. Here's a quick checklist to keep your systems running smoothly!

1. Update Software Regularly: Ensure all software, including operating systems, applications, and security tools, are up-to-date. Software updates often include patches for security vulnerabilities and improvements in performance and compatibility.
2. Backup Data Consistently: Regular backups are essential to protect data from corruption, loss, or ransomware attacks. Implement automated backups to local storage and the cloud to ensure data can be recovered easily.
3. Check for Viruses and Malware: Run regular antivirus and malware scans to detect and remove any malicious software that could compromise system integrity and security.
4. Clean Hardware Components: Dust and debris can accumulate in hardware components like fans and heat sinks, leading to overheating and reduced performance. Regular cleaning of these components can help maintain proper functioning.
5. Monitor System Performance and Network Traffic: Keep an eye on system performance metrics and network traffic to detect anomalies that may indicate issues such as failing hardware, unauthorized access, or bottlenecks.

When clients come to us and explain the issues with their previous IT service provider, we know it's because an anonymous helpdesk will never truly understand their business inside and out.

It's time to focus on growing your business, instead of struggling with the technology that runs it.
