Cybersecurity, otherwise known as data or IT security, is the process of protecting computer systems, devices, and applications from unauthorized access that can open the door to harmful threats like malware, ransomware, and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.

As organizations become increasingly data-dependent, their level of risk must be counter-measured with proactive prevention strategies. That’s where Northriver IT can help.

Enabling features like self-service password and reset and mandating built-in safety protocols like multi-factor authentication.
