Preventing Costly Attacks, Providing Peace of Mind

Flagship Networks assisted the Town of Stratford (view Case Study here) in reducing risk, optimizing service quality, and improving operational effectiveness by migrating computer workstations to a centrally managed system, implemented a backup system for connecting Town Hall, the Police Headquarters, and the Public Safety Building, and created a way to monitor surveillance cameras in real time. Are you concerned about your business’ IT security? Tune it to this "Lunch and Learn" to learn how you can mitigate risks and take a proactive approach to cybersecurity.

Many businesses across the region have experienced phishing scams, exposure to dark web threats, internal hacks and attacks to steal critical student information data. The average ransomware payout rose from $84,116 in Q4 of 2019 to $233,817 in Q3 of 2020 – nearly quadrupling over the year, according to the Sophos 2021 Threat Report. We will cover how you can know your exposure and strategies to secure your IT systems.
