“Self. When was the last time you changed your passwords?”
“Self. Are you using the same password for multiple accounts?”
“Self. Can my password be putting my business and personal life in jeopardy?”
Depending on your answers, it may be time to dive deeply into those passwords and make some alterations.
Let’s get educated first. What does it mean to have a strong password? We mentioned brute force attacks in our last article, and if you have a strong password, you won’t fall victim to them.
You’ve seen what a strong password looks like when saving new login information on your phone. It’s 12 characters or more, a mix of numbers, letters, and symbols, and not easily remembered or obvious. If you’ve been using Fido123456, it will not take a genius to figure that out. If you think you’re clever because you recently added an asterisk to it (Fido123456*), think again.
That hacker you envision with a dark hoodie typing in passwords to crack the code still exists; however, in today’s world, complicated computer programs handle that. You’re putting yourself at risk if your best friend’s name from first grade is your hackproof password.
Using personal information is never good, no matter how far back it goes. With social media, everything about your life is out there for everyone to see without you even realizing it. Do you know those fun quizzes on social media where they ask you your favorite color, street you grew up on, and your first best friend’s name? You’re sharing important security question answers with the enemy.
Like your phone, most password managers will generate a strong password for you to keep your company’s data safe. A good example is NordPass, which allows you to select the length of your new password, choose what symbols to include, and copy your password easily to put it in a very safe place.
Some may even prevent you from setting a ‘weak password,’ that’s easy to guess. Yep, we’re referring to Fido again. If you ask your two-year-old to hit random keys are your keyboard, that’s a fitting example of a strong password.
The good news is your password manager cannot decipher your data if they implement zero-knowledge encryption because they don’t know your master password. If your password manager gets breached, which, as mentioned in our last article, does happen, attackers won’t be able to find your master password or read any encrypted information stored in your vault. Only you hold the key. Don’t make copies of that key.
Whatever you, your two-year-old, or even Fido choose for your master password, do not, we repeat, do not use it for anything else. That means your online banking, Netflix subscription, and social media passwords, which should also be individual strong passwords, can’t put your business at risk.

You’ve taken every precaution when protecting your data and your business. You’ve invested in a password manager with a secure vault and even administered Multiple Factor Authentication (MFA). This means you can rest easy knowing that your data is hack proof, right?
Sorry folks, you’re still at risk, even with all you have implemented. Regardless, pat yourself on the back because all the steps mentioned above add more layers of protection and make it harder for hackers.
That said, you trusted your password manager, but even the best of the best experience security and data breaches. It happens more than you think. Hackers thrive on the big guys in the industry, and that’s why it’s so crucial to not only feel protected but also receive transparency and recovery services from your password manager.
Let’s recap the last few years. In 2021, Norton LifeLock and its members were victims of a data breach where hackers compromised its cloud storage, stealing millions of encrypted password vaults.Passwordstate also suffered a data breach in 2021, where hackers delivered a DLL file to users’ computers while an upgrade was running in the background. To make it even worse, users fell for another scheme when told to download an urgent fix for the hack.
If you’ve ever seen those creepy videos on social media about the dark web, you know it’s a scary place. Hackers sell your information there, including passwords. Norton password manager users experienced this only a few days ago. LastPass password manager encountered a data breach very recently as well, where customers’ encrypted password vaults were stolen, along with non-encrypted customer data.
If you’re asking how hackers figure out the vault passwords since they’re encrypted, that’s a great question. Usingbrute-force attacks,cybercriminals purchase a list of previously compromised passwords on the dark web or download a free list of common passwords and try them everywhere.
Multi-Factor Authentication will help protect you during these security and data breaches. Remember, you’re the only one receiving a one-time code as a second step to a password. Yes, it’s an extra step, but you know what takes much longer? Dealing with your stolen identity.
It’s hard to know what’s real and what’s not these days. Question everything and anything. Is it time to ditch password managers because of the vulnerability they expose during these breaches?
The answer is no. It’s still the most secure method for protecting your passwords and business. If you hear of a breach at your password manager company, change all your passwords immediately, including your vault password and ensure they are all different. Remember, all your passwords need to be different, and it is the Password Vault that keeps them secure. All you need is your Master Password, with Multifactor authentication of course.
Next up, we’ll be talking about how to choose a strong password.
Welcome to the world of cybersecurity! With the rise of digital threats, it’s more important than ever for businesses to keep their data and systems safe. One of the best ways to do this is by having a Security Operations Center (SOC). But what exactly is a SOC, and how can it help protect your business?
In this blog post, we’ll explore the basics of SOC management and introduce you to the concept of a managed SOC. Whether you’re a small business owner just starting to consider cybersecurity measures or a seasoned IT professional looking to enhance your security strategy, this post will provide you with a solid foundation for understanding the importance of a managed SOC.
So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let’s dive into the world of cybersecurity together!
Introduction
As a small or medium-sized business owner, it’s vital to protect your business from cyber threats. A key element of any cybersecurity strategy is a Security Operations Center (SOC), a centralized facility that provides 24/7 monitoring, detection, and response to security incidents.
In this blog post, we’ll introduce you to the concept of a managed SOC, and explain how it can benefit your business. We’ll provide essential information for those new to cybersecurity, and take a deeper dive into the benefits of a managed SOC and what you should consider when selecting a provider. By the end of this post, you’ll have a solid understanding of the basics of SOC management, including the key components, benefits, and best practices. Let’s explore how a managed SOC can help safeguard your business from cyber threats, and how Sandra Network can help you every step of the way.
What is a SOC?
A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a centralized facility that provides 24/7 monitoring, detection, and response to security incidents. Its primary purpose is to identify and mitigate cybersecurity threats to your business, including both internal and external threats. Cybersecurity professionals staff a SOC and utilize specialized tools and techniques to monitor network activity, detect potential security incidents, and respond to security threats as quickly as possible.
The key components of a SOC include people, processes, and technology. The people component includes cybersecurity professionals who are responsible for monitoring and responding to security incidents. The processes component includes documented procedures for identifying and responding to security incidents, while the technology component includes tools and technologies used to monitor network activity and detect potential security incidents.
What is a Managed SOC?
Benefits of having a SOC
Continuous monitoring and rapid response to security incidents to minimize the damage caused by cyber-attacks.
Compliance with regulatory requirements for data security, particularly for businesses in heavily regulated industries.
Enhanced visibility into security events and potential threats, allowing for proactive threat hunting and faster incident response times.
Reduced risk of business disruption, financial losses, and reputational damage resulting from cyber attacks.
Increased confidence and trust from customers and partners due to a demonstrated commitment to protecting sensitive information.
Improved incident detection and response, which helps to identify and mitigate security incidents more quickly and effectively.
Greater efficiency and effectiveness in managing security incidents, resulting in reduced downtime and faster recovery times.
Access to specialized cybersecurity expertise and tools that are often cost-prohibitive for businesses to develop and maintain in-house.
Managed SOC vs. In-House SOC
As a business owner, you have two options for managing your SOC: you can either build an in-house SOC or outsource your SOC to a managed SOC provider. Each approach has its own pros and cons, and the right choice for your business will depend on a range of factors.
Managed SOC vs. In-House SOC: What’s the Difference?
An in-house SOC is a facility that is built and maintained by your business. Your own cybersecurity professionals staff an in-house SOC and are responsible for monitoring, detecting, and responding to security incidents, whereas a managed SOC is an outsourced facility run by a third-party provider. The provider is responsible for monitoring, detecting, and responding to security incidents on your behalf, using their own cybersecurity professionals and tools.
Pros and Cons of Each Approach
In-House SOC
Pros:
Complete control over your security operations
Direct access to your own cybersecurity team
Easier to tailor to your specific business needs
Cons:
Requires significant upfront investment in infrastructure, staffing, and training
Ongoing maintenance costs can be high
May lack the expertise and tools available from a specialized managed SOC provider
Managed SOC
Pros:
No upfront investment required
Access to specialized cybersecurity expertise and tools
Lower overall maintenance costs
Cons:
Reduced control over your security operations
Less direct access to your cybersecurity team
May require some level of integration with existing IT infrastructure
Factors to Consider when Choosing Between Managed SOC and In-House SOC
When choosing between a managed SOC and an in-house SOC, you should consider a range of factors, including your business size, industry, regulatory requirements, and budget.
An in-house SOC may be a better fit if you have significant security needs and resources to invest in, while a managed SOC may be a better fit if you have limited resources or want access to specialized cybersecurity expertise and tools.
Ultimately, the right choice for your business will depend on your unique needs and circumstances.

Understanding Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and its importance in today’s world
Meet Multiple Factor Authentication (MFA), the ultimate security solution that adds an extra layer of protection to your login process. In today’s world, where cyber threats are at an all-time high, protecting your online accounts has never been more critical.
Our last article left off with the idea of added security steps to protect your data beyond the heavily guarded password vault. Hackers are getting smarter every day, and people continue to make avoidable mistakes.
According to security.org, 25% of password managers reuse their master passwords on other sites. Your business must be one step ahead of everyone else. Well, at least two or more, that is.
The different types of MFA and how they work
How Multi-Factor Authentication Works
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds added layers of safety to your log-in procedure. MFA in your everyday life is more familiar to you than you think. If your log-in prompts a code sent to your phone to input, you have experienced 2 Factor Authentication (2FA). Or someone hacks into your system, they will not have access to this code. If you lose your phone or it is stolen, added layers, if chosen, protect you further.
A third later is known as biometric authentication and proves something you are. A perfect example is when your phone uses Face ID to access a website. As you know, it does not work for anyone else but you. It proves that you have the right to enter a particular system and are who you say you are.
Setting up MFA
Suppose you were to think of a non-technology scenario where the concept of MFA occurs. How about the VIP section of a venue? After conquering the first step of the busy front door with identification, another layer of security is needed to gain access to the VIP section. You can only come in if you know the secret password. This venue tends to use the same passwords as their other locations, so you try the earlier one that worked last weekend and it worked! Innovative thinking on your end, not theirs.
The outcome might not have been the same if there had been a third layer of protection, such as having your name on a VIP list.
Now back to technology. With all these layers, you are entirely safe, correct? Unfortunately, as we will continue to mention throughout our blog series, security breaches will persist. That means some hackers can get through the layers, but the more you have, the harder it will be.
Next up, learn about security breaches and what you need to know.
At present, digital developments are rocking nearly every business, and the cloud is at the heart of many of the most significant shifts. New cloud based telecom services are capable of everything from paperless offices to remote work.
And it appears that a cloud is forming over the long-standing telecom software solutions as well.
The real kicker is that, for the most part, the cloud predicts sunlight rather than rain, but many businesses are still keeping umbrellas on hand in these early days. Regardless of whether some businesses are willing to accept or not, cloud-based telecom services are here to stay.
Just by looking at the evolution of our communication methods, one can predict the inevitability of advancement. Phones, tablets, and laptops are non-negotiable entities of our lives, and hence the demand for telecom service providers is at an all-time high.
One is more likely to miss out on a light earthquake but will go berserk if the internet speed takes a minor dip.
The ever-increasing and diverse need has resulted in a cloud-fronted transition, which is the most major shift in telecom software solutions since IP-based communications became popular.
A significant proportion of telecom services now fall under the category of “Cloud-based Telecom services,” with communication methods spun around cloud computing in the workplace and for customer benefits.
Telecom solutions Flare Under Cloud Umbrella
UCaaS is the umbrella under which most telecom cloud services fall (Unified Communications as a Service). Various communication and collaboration services, such as messaging, video conferencing, and telephony, are included in this cloud delivery paradigm. APIs and CPaaS (communications platform as a service) are also included in this category (application programming interfaces).
Did you know that 3.9 million Americans have been working from home?
The remote work revolution is on the rise, and our technology is rapidly adapting to our needs. For the most part, these innovative cloud-based telecom services are bringing change to the communication and collaboration of diverse teams in the industry.
Every organization and individual may now manage communications easily and affordably.
Gone are the days when businesses had to keep up with emails, phone calls, and letters.
All communications are combined in one simple and economic package with UCaaS and its alternatives.
This ensures that interactions take seconds rather than hours, saving time and increasing efficiency over slower older techniques.
How does the Future look for Cloud Based Telecom service Providers?
When it comes to moving forward, it’s also crucial to think about how the telecom industry plans to stay up with the rapidly changing cloud world. If this cooperation with the cloud is to yield benefits, the telecommunications industry will have to stay one step ahead of the latest developments.
As of now, only time can tell whether the hype of cloud based telecom services has lived up to its expectations.
You can love it or hate it; nevertheless, there’s no disputing that it has revolutionized the way we do it all, including communication. And with the correct focus, it is blooming with the potential.
Sandra Network INC. have successfully incorporated Telecom Cloud Services into their far-reaching brochure of IT services. Contact them today and let the experts steer your organization.

The 3-2-1 Backup Rule: Have three copies of your data: Two backups in different formats and one backup stored offsite
An aware person would have a backup plan. An intelligent person would have a backup of their backup. Early men and tech seeking protection have adopted different variations of this rule.
Be Prepared with Data Backup Services
The exponential growth of data has boosted the popularity of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS platforms, thanks to developments in cloud technologies.
On the other hand, external threats like ransomware cause severe downtime and data loss in enterprises without effective BCDR deployment.
As a result, businesses must be prepared to protect themselves from within, and professional Data Backup Services are designed to ensure that.
What is BCDR?
To ensure more resilience, efficiency, and security, business owners have incorporated BCDR, Or Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Plan. Itaims to make the backups more reliable than ever and optimizerecovery time for critical situations.

The correlation between quality and costing has always been a tricky one. While people know that quality comes at a steep price, they are not always keen on expanding their budget for what may seem like an unnecessary expenditure. But is it necessary that good SEO services are always expensive? Maybe not.
For centuries we have seen the craze for gadgets overpowering the weight of heavy price tags.
Why?
Because people understand the weight of “value” when they invest their hard-earned money in any commodity.
That sheds more light on a widely acknowledged fact: “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”
And, unless you can grasp the true potential and far-reaching impact of Search Engine Optimization services, you’ll always have a pre-set notion of giving your money away for a temporary period in another marketing gimmick rather than viewing it as an investment with promising, long term returns.
When you step into the auction of digital marketing services, there are high chances you might find yourself entangled amidst the diverse comparisons of costing, action plan, service catalog, and the promised results.
There’s a lot to factor in, and the error bandwidth is negligible. Any mistake in choosing the right Search Engine Optimization Services would put your website in the backseat of the digital market.
Quality SEO Services = High Pricing? Always?
Indeed, the higher value would come at a decent wallet weight, but choosing wrong in this context would be a greater loss. You can recover from poor traffic, lost rankings, and lesser impressions, but the money lost hits hard.
If you choose a provider with higher pricing, you will pay a lot more upfront. Reliable, innovative, and high-quality search engine optimization services, like high-tech gadgets, are highly-priced.
After all, SEO services aren’t the same as upgrading your monitor.
Five Feet Apart… from the SEO Services with “Crazy Good” Pricing
Sounds Weird?
Of course, it would.
But alarms are supposed to blare when you land something too good to be true.
If an agency provides you with a drastically lower price than others you’ve received, they are probably outsourcing or streamlining much of the work.
It’s also possible that you’ll be assigned to a manager who manages more than 50 accounts.
Thus, it allows them to keep costs low, which they pass on to you.
These firms lure you around, promising far-reaching SEO results in a few months (which, by the way, is a cautionary sign since effective SEO takes time). Once the time frame is over and you drop them for poor results, they are already climbing onto another client’s back.
They won’t skip a beat if your ranking tanks down the same; however, won’t be the scene for you.
They skim through the tiring process of filtering out the competitors and analyzing their strategies, sketch the latest industry trends, and evaluate your honest standing in the market.
Know the Value You Want for the Price You Are Getting
Do you want a namesake list of marketing tasks your SEO services are doing for you? Or do you want someone to take ownership and accountability for the long-term results of your business?
When we spend, we want results. Even if your search optimization services haven’t constructed the establishment in all its glory, you’d like to know they are building it wall-by-wall and brick-by-brick.
Don’t rely on a certain number of blogs and backlinks to prove the tangibility of monthly/weekly results. You want a solid foundation, not a paper wall. Look out whether your SEO partner is spending time and resources on market research, optimizing the ifs and buts of your website, and implementing the fixtures on the road ahead towards a better ranking.
Sandra Network INC. has a long-standing SEO staff that constantly monitors changes and trends to stay on top of the fast-changing search world. Stay ahead, on the top, and get the right partners for the feat.
The commonly seen end goal for web service management is the big fat website launch. The story that goes far and beyond is sadly not much of a coveted tale.
