1. Your anti-virus might be shut off
(it's VERY common for software companies to shut off security during an install or update, and then it's left off... HUGE security threat)

2. Viruses & malicious programs are getting smarter, so it's very important to have top notch security systems in place

3. Downloading a virus could be as easy as clicking on a tracking link from a legitimate-looking order email (like fedex or ups). Email viruses can be very well disguised and even use the actual company's letterhead or email template!

We're coming in hot with a humble brag today, featuring a client from Spruce Grove! :)
Their clinic before:
• cords everywhere with no cable management,
• low-resolution monitors that made viewing imaging very difficult,
• constant tech issues and interruptions,
• extremely high risk of down-time, viruses and attacks
• had most anti-virus shut off as directed by a dental software company who shall remain nameless
• was running a risk of 2 weeks of lost data and anywhere from 48hrs - weeks of downtime if anything were to fail or if a virus/attack hit the network

Their clinic after the upgrade:
• maximum possible data loss of 1hr, typically none
• protected from the newest viruses and malicious programs
• highly secured network with proper user permissions and separate logins
• no tech issues or interruptions
• updates, security threats, and other issues are 24/7 monitored and resolved immediately

We love watching a dentist's perspective shift on tech! It's very common that we walk into a clinic and the staff and owner are at their wit's end with their tech.
Little do they know the massive risk they're running of having a security breach, network failure, permanent data loss, or downtime!

🍁 "Remembrance day isn't about crying,
it's not even about death,
it's about being grateful and acknowledging
the selfless sacrifice so many men and women have made
and are ready to make."

Are you working from home more and more? (you need this!) 👇
YOUR SECURITY ESSENTIALS LIST: 🧐✅
1. A secure connection to the clinic (VPN)
2. A good quality anti-virus system on your computer and laptop
3. Complex passwords for your accounts, and regularly change them (using the exact same pw for every account is NOT recommended)
4. A smart backup system that protects you from downtime and data loss
5. IT support that actually monitors and auto-updates your system to fill security holes and watch for potential threats

Not sure if you're safely working from home or not?

⚠️ Outdated tech can be a clinic's weakest link!
How do tech upgrades help?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Avoid viruses and security breaches⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Protects against down-time⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Less chance of unexpected hardware failure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Reduce tech headaches and interruptions⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Faster systems⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Ability to check on the clinic remotely⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Now take all of that boosted productivity away with the outdated tech you're hanging onto,
and you're left with:
random tech errors/glitches
a slow network
dental equipment that doesn't work properly
an extremely high risk of hardware failure and security issues (hello downtime)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If your clinic tech is outdated and you're starting to experience these problems, DM us "yeg dentist" to book a free call to find out how to boost your productivity with tech! :)

Consider this your weekly reminder that protecting patient & clinic data is SO important!
Scroll our page for tons of tech tips on how to protect yourself from these attacks/viruses! :)

An unexpected malicious attack or computer virus can immediately shut down everything in the clinic that touches technology!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The best way to prevent this from happening (alongside a great security + anti-virus system) is to have a proper data backup system!⠀
This is because viruses and malicious programs are only getting smarter over time, so even the best anti-virus systems can slip up sometimes if a virus is deployed by an employee by mistake (hello fake fedex/banking/CA Post emails)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What makes a data backup system a good one?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. A quick recovery time! If everything shut off, how long would it take your I.T. company to recover the data so you can continue working?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Data backups should occur frequently (and successfully!), so if you need to recover the last version of your data backup, you don't lose weeks or even months of data!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. The system keeps enough data! How much data are you willing to lose?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Want recovering your data to be as easy as saying "recover my data"?!, without illegally processing data in the U.S. or putting your patient data at risk?

We've literally made it that easy! If something happens to the network, clinic and patient data can be restored in a matter of minutes with no data loss!
And the best part is that you are still 100% in control of your network and data!

Why do clinics lose data?
- Hardware/server failure
- Power outages
- Viruses
- Human/user error
- Hackers or malicious attacks to the network

With risks of viruses and attacks being so common in healthcare clinics, it's so important to have a strong security system protecting that data, and a smart system to restore it if anything were to happen!

Read below for your Security Checklist to get you started with protecting sensitive clinic and patient data!
(PS if your IT company hasn't done this, it's time for a new one!)

- Create separate user accounts for each staff member
- Change your passwords on a regular basis
- Make sure passwords have some complexity to them (uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters like !@$)⠀
- Data backups are encrypted
- Data is not sent outside of Canada or stored in the cloud⠀⠀⠀
- Good quality anti-virus on every computer
- Anti-virus protection on servers
- Servers are in a locked, secure location with limited to no staff access⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why do our clients enjoy more personal time? 🧐
A-U-T-O- Alerts! 💻
Imagine swapping those urgent staff texts and calls about clinic problems, with a system that constantly scans for errors, security threats, and hardware failures, so the problem alerts your IT and it's fixed before you even know about it!
Yes, that's the power of automatic alerts and having a proactive approach to clinic tech! ✅
