From storybook tales to legends told around the campfire, you’ve probably heard a monstrous story or two. While those creatures are often associated with fantasy and Halloween, the IT space actually has several real-life monsters of its own… and they stay lurking year-round. Learn more about these beasts and paranormal beings and what you can do to repel them.
Avoid Zombie Brain
We’ve all had those days where we feel like a total zombie at work. Maybe it’s on Monday mornings (before we have our coffee), or perhaps Fridays feel slow with the weekend approaching. Whatever the case for you, experiencing “zombie brain” is a real thing, especially when you’re constantly troubleshooting IT problems.
Fortunately, you can say goodbye to the zombie brain fog with a quick call to the Exact IT Helpdesk. Our techs can do it all, including creating new accounts, addressing security concerns, and monitoring remote networks. So, instead of wandering around like a zombie, get in touch with the experts for some proper guidance on how to solve the problem at hand.
Don’t Let Vampires Drain You Dry
Vampires have a few calling cards—black capes, transforming into bats, and of course, draining their victims of blood. In many ways, ransomware is the vampire of the IT world. No, you don’t have to worry about it sprouting wings, but you do have to stay vigilant, or else it will suck your database dry.
Ransomware essentially infects your system and drains it of essential files, folders, and even entire databases. The ransomware vampire then holes your data up in its castle and keeps it as ransom, hoping for ample payout in the end.
The good news is that you can learn to avoid these vampires, given the right training. Exact IT’s ransomware training course is like a basket full of garlic ready to ward off the creatures of the night.
Protect Against Fiery Devils
From old epics like Paradise Lost to modern fantasy TV, you don’t have to travel far to see a fire-spewing devil hiding in the shadows. In the IT world, organizations are similarly threatened by the villains we can’t see until it’s too late—cyber attacks.
Cybersecurity is a high priority these days, and you’ll need much more than just a firewall to protect yourself against a hot-headed devil. Fortunately, Exact IT can help you armor up with three-layer protection, spam filtering, and full-volume encryption.
Bloody Mary Doesn’t Pick Up the Phone
If you’ve ever said “Bloody Mary” three times in the mirror, you know Mary is terrible at answering a call. You have to ring her at least three times, and even then, her connection might be bad. Like Bloody Mary, phone systems can be a hassle to deal with.
But with the help of Exact IT, you can ensure that your phone line never leaves you hanging. We’ll help you create custom solutions involving video conferencing, SMS messaging, web apps, etc. Who knows—maybe Mary will respond quicker to a text!
Don’t Fear the Grim Reaper
Bigger is always better, right? That might be true when it comes to a slice of cake or a handful of candy, but dealing with giant stores of data can be a challenge. Without the proper tools, you can soon find yourself crushed under the weight of way too much data to handle. But with some help from IT’s grim reaper, you can cut down on data storage and say goodbye to overpopulation.
If giant databases are crushing your organization, look to Exact IT for managed IT services. Our professionals will help you build a sturdy infrastructure that is easy for users to navigate.
Trust the Paranormal experts
Was that a trick of the light or a gust of wind? Nope, it was the ghost of IT—cloud hosting! Whether you have a horror movie perception of ghosts or your ideal spirit is named Casper, they all have the same trait—invisibility. Even if you can’t always see your ghostly friends, they’re still by your side, just like cloud hosting.
