More people, programs, customers, devices, internet services and information put a lot of stress on the technology that supports work. If you do not plan carefully, small technology problems can quickly turn into disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies that are growing need to find out about technology risks before they cause problems. From internet security threats and equipment failures to internet service interruptions and not being able to grow enough, getting ready for these risks can help companies keep performing well, stay safe and keep running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we will talk about seven common technology risks that growing companies should get ready for and the steps they can take to reduce their impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Internet Security Threats and Data Breaches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internet attacks are one of the risks that modern companies face. If an attack is successful, it can result in lost information, financial damage, regulatory problems and harm to the company&#8217;s reputation. As companies get bigger, they usually handle customer information, financial records, employee data and important business programs. Common threats include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ransomware attacks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phishing and social engineering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malware infections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brute-force attacks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unauthorized access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data breaches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distributed denial-of-service attacks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Prepare:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies should put in place an internet security plan that includes firewalls, protection for individual computers, multi-factor authentication, regular security updates, access controls, checks for weaknesses and training for employees on internet security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular backups and a tested disaster recovery plan can also reduce the impact of a successful internet attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Equipment and Technology Failures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Servers, storage systems, networking equipment and other hardware parts can eventually fail. Even if one part fails, it can affect programs, websites, databases and internal business work. Equipment failures become especially challenging when companies rely on technology without enough backup systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Prepare:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies should keep an eye on the health of technology and replace old equipment before it becomes a big risk. Monitoring technology can help find warning signs before an equipment failure causes extended downtime. Useful measures include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proactive server monitoring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Checks on equipment health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backup storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configurations for storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backup power systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plans to replace old hardware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extra parts for systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Network Downtime and Connectivity Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reliable network connectivity is essential for companies that depend on internet programs, remote work, voice over internet, online services and customer-facing platforms. Network failures can prevent employees from accessing systems and can interrupt communication with customers and business partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Prepare:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Growing companies should evaluate network capacity and reliability as usage increases. Depending on business needs, companies may benefit from internet connections, properly configured network equipment and continuous network monitoring. A documented technology management plan should also define how network problems are found, reported, and fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Internet Service Outages and Misconfiguration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internet computing provides flexibility and scalability. Moving work to the internet does not eliminate technology risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internet environments can experience service interruptions, configuration errors, security issues or resource limitations. Configured permissions and technology can also expose sensitive systems and information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Prepare:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies should also not assume that their internet provider automatically handles every aspect of program availability, security and information protection. Companies should establish internet technology management practices, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Regular internet configuration reviews<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Management of identity and access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitoring of resources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backup and recovery procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security checks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Planning for capacity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backup infrastructure when required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Not Being Able to Grow Enough<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology that works well for a small company may struggle as the company gets bigger. Increasing traffic, users, transactions, programs and information can eventually push existing systems beyond their capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poor scalability can lead to program overload, server overload, poor customer experiences and unexpected downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Prepare:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology should be designed with growth in mind. Companies should regularly review computer processor, memory, storage, network, database and program performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Planning for capacity can help companies anticipate technology needs before performance problems occur. Depending on the company, solutions may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Internet-based technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Load balancing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Auto-scaling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distributed databases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Content delivery networks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expandable storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optimization of resources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Information Loss and Inadequate Disaster Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information is one of the valuable assets of a growing company. Equipment failures, internet attacks, accidental deletion, software problems and natural disasters can all result in information loss. Having backups is not enough. Companies also need to know whether those backups can actually be restored when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Prepare:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A comprehensive disaster recovery plan should define how important systems and information will be restored after an incident. Companies should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maintain backups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store backups from production systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use appropriate off-site or internet backup storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test backup restoration regularly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Define recovery time objectives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Define recovery point objectives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Document disaster recovery procedures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Lack of Technology Monitoring and Proactive Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many technology problems become expensive because they are found late. Waiting for employees or customers to report an issue means the problem may already be affecting business operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without monitoring, companies may have limited visibility into server performance, storage usage, network activity, program health and security events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Prepare:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proactive technology monitoring can help companies find problems before they become major incidents. Automated alerts can help technology teams respond quickly when technology performance moves outside acceptable thresholds. Monitoring should cover areas such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Server availability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Computer processor and memory usage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disk space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Network performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Program availability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>System errors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building a More Resilient IT Infrastructure&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting ready for risks is important, but companies should also take a broader approach to technology resilience. Companies should also periodically review their technology as they add employees, programs, customers, locations and workloads. A resilient technology strategy should include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Regular<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supportpro.com\/blog\/how-to-reduce-it-risks-and-downtime-with-remote-infrastructure-management\/\" title=\"\"> infrastructure<\/a> assessments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proactive monitoring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strong cybersecurity controls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reliable backup systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disaster recovery planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capacity and scalability planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regular patching and maintenance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear incident response procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Documented IT processes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Growing companies cannot afford to treat technology as something that only needs attention when problems occur. Internet security threats, equipment failures, network disruptions, internet service outages, scalability challenges, information loss and insufficient monitoring can all affect business continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By finding out about these technology risks and investing in proactive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supportpro.com\/blog\/how-24-7-monitoring-prevents-downtime-and-protects-revenue\/\" title=\"\">monitoring<\/a>, internet security, backup and disaster recovery, internet technology management and scalable systems, companies can build a technology setup that supports long-term growth. The goal is not simply to respond when something goes wrong. It is to create a secure, scalable and resilient technology setup that can keep the business running as it grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center has-white-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Facing issues? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Our technical support<br>engineers can solve it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-3350a795-db50-482f-9911-301930d1b1be\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-3350a795-db50-482f-9911-301930d1b1be\" id=\"hs-cta-3350a795-db50-482f-9911-301930d1b1be\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/2725694\/3350a795-db50-482f-9911-301930d1b1be\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-3350a795-db50-482f-9911-301930d1b1be\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/2725694\/3350a795-db50-482f-9911-301930d1b1be.png\"  alt=\"Contact Us today!\"\/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(2725694, '3350a795-db50-482f-9911-301930d1b1be', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"904\" height=\"931\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supportpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Free-server-checkup.png\" alt=\"guy server checkup\" class=\"wp-image-12943 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supportpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Free-server-checkup.png 904w, https:\/\/www.supportpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Free-server-checkup-291x300.png 291w, https:\/\/www.supportpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Free-server-checkup-768x791.png 768w, https:\/\/www.supportpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Free-server-checkup-585x602.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a company gets bigger, its technology setup becomes more complicated.
