ELLICOTT CITY, MD, April 14, 2022 — Sunil Raina, the head of TeamLogic IT offices in Ellicott City and Hanover, Maryland, has collaborated with a group of IT and cybersecurity experts on a new book, “Cyber Storm: How to Protect Your Business From a Data Breach and the Resulting Cyber Storm of Fines, Lawsuits & Customer Loss.”
Raina provides deep and important insights into what business owners need to know about ransomware, which is the fastest-growing malware threat today. Ransomware attacks involve encrypting your files, which can block access to your system (or block your customers from accessing theirs), disable databases, and sabotage accounting and banking systems. It is so named because cyber criminals literally hold your systems hostage and demand a “ransom” to undo the damage.
Scheduled for an April 14 publication on Amazon.com, “Cyber Storm” is written in non-technical language for business owners who want to better understand and protect their businesses against ransomware and other cybersecurity risks, such as data breaches and phishing schemes. Raina said the book gives common sense advice and helps raise awareness of how cyberattacks are being used as an economic and geopolitical weapon today by nation-state bad actors.
“IT is something everyone takes for granted as long as it’s working fine,” Raina said. “But when things go wrong, IT suddenly becomes very critical. We need to move away from the mentality of only paying attention to IT security when things go wrong. That’s like trying to douse a fire at the last moment.”
Small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are especially vulnerable to ransomware attacks, according to Raina. “SMBs are often too busy doing business to build and maintain an active defense against ever-evolving ransomware threats,” Raina said. “Many also have limited IT staff who may not have the time or skills to put adequate security measures in place.”
TeamLogic IT, a national leader and #1 ranked IT managed services provider in the country in 2020 and 2021, helps SMBs fill IT and cybersecurity expertise gaps. “We specialize in helping SMBs implement comprehensive cybersecurity measures, along with regular IT services,” Raina said. “What differentiates us besides excellence in service delivery is the presence of 240-plus offices across the country, supported by a deep and highly knowledgeable pool of engineers and technicians,” he added.
Having a robust, up-to-date security program is vital. Cybersecurity practices may seem like a burden from the perspective of budgeting or staff training time, Raina said, but think of it as having a parachute. “Like a parachute, it’s much better to have a ransomware defense plan and not need it than to need it and not have it.”
