While you might see ConnectWise in this simplistic way, hackers see your ConnectWise account as something much different: the master key. Your ConnectWise provides access to all of your business functions and valuable customer information. If a hacker gains access to your ConnectWise account, they’ll be able to roam freely within your business to wreak havoc. ConnectWise has already thought things through way ahead of you. They have numerous Access policies, Multifactor Practices, and Advanced Workflow Configuration options available to you. However, just because ConnectWise has built-in defenses doesn’t mean you’re safe and sound. You must adjust your ConnectWise security settings to adapt to your business’s security weaknesses. Without calibration, your defenses are as good as a shield with a thief-sized hole in it. To make sure ConnectWise’s defense systems fit your business, you should get a ConnectWise Security Audit. Having a ConnectWise expert evaluate your security settings gives them a chance to adjust ConnectWise’s security protocol to be perfectly calibrated to your needs. In addition, ConnectWise Experts can help you establish future protocols to keep your ConnectWise safe and adjust to any new expansions your business makes. Your ConnectWise armor should fit your account perfectly. Let our ConnectWise Consultants at Bering McKinley tailor ConnectWise’s defense systems to your exact needs to stop cyberattacks before they happen.
