For Immediate Release

Space Coast, Florida – 3-6-24 – In a proactive move towards fortifying cyber defenses for clients and ensuring compliance with the latest and upcoming Department of Defense standards, Rolle IT has announced a substantial investment of over $500,000 in its cybersecurity and compliance program. This investment marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to safeguarding its operations and client operations against evolving cyber threats.

Rolle IT is proud to announce its intent to achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC 2.0) compliance as an extended services provider to Defense Industrial Base Contractors. The CMMC framework, established by the Department of Defense (DoD), serves as a comprehensive cybersecurity standard designed to enhance the protection of sensitive government information. CMMC is expected to be a requirement of some federal contracts as soon as fall of 2024.

Among other IT Consulting and Development capabilities, Rolle IT currently serves as a Managed Services Provider (Helpdesk/ IT Operations/ IT Infrastructure/ Cybersecurity Operations) to small and medium businesses, with a focus on serving the Defense Industrial Base and supporting those who support our warfighters.

By investing in resources to work with client organizations to prepare for achieving CMMC, Rolle IT demonstrates its unwavering commitment to meeting the rigorous cybersecurity requirements set forth by the DoD and other regulatory bodies. This commitment not only strengthens the company’s ability to support organizations who participate in government contracts but also underscores its dedication to maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity across all facets of its operations for all clients.

“At Rolle IT, we recognize that cybersecurity is not just a priority – it’s a fundamental imperative. Our substantial investment in cybersecurity and focusing for preparing us and our clients for CMMC underscore our unwavering commitment to protecting our clients’ data and maintaining the trust they place in us. We remain steadfast in our dedication to staying ahead of emerging threats and ensuring the resilience of our cybersecurity defenses.”- Cordell Rolle, CEO

What is Malvertising?

Uncategorized / February 22, 2024 / , , , , , , , , ,

Malvertising, short for malicious advertising, refers to the practice of using online ads to spread malware. Cybercriminals embed malware within seemingly harmless ads, which are then displayed on legitimate websites. When users click on these ads, they unwittingly download malware onto their devices, putting their personal information and sensitive data at risk. Bad actors are pairing these efforts with SEO Poisoning to falsely promote malicious websites to higher ranks in search engine results. SEO poisoning relies on users believing the results closest to the top of a search result are the most credible.

“Throughout 2023, adversaries such as LUNAR SPIDER regularly abused Google advertisements to ensure their malicious ads appeared at the top of search result pages. Threat actors such as SolarMarker operators regularly used SEO poisoning throughout 2023.” – Crowdstrike Annual Threat Report

The Dangers of Malvertising

Malvertising poses a significant threat to businesses of all sizes.

  1. Data Breaches: Malvertising can lead to data breaches, exposing sensitive information such as customer data, financial records, and intellectual property.
  1. Financial Losses: A successful malvertising attack can result in financial losses due to theft, ransom demands, or damage to business operations.
  2. Reputation Damage: A data breach caused by malvertising can tarnish a company’s reputation and erode customer trust, leading to a loss of business and credibility.

Rolle IT Protects clients from Malvertising threats.

  1. Ad Filtering: Ad filtering services block malicious ads from being displayed on your website or network.
  2. Timely Software Updates: Ensuring that all software, including web browsers, plugins, and security software, is regularly updated with the latest patches and security fixes.
  3. Employee Training : Train employees to recognize the signs of malvertising and avoid clicking on suspicious ads or links.
  4. Establish Secure Connections: Encourage employees to use secure connections, such as virtual private networks (VPNs), when accessing the internet, especially on public Wi-Fi networks.
  5. Monitor Network Traffic: Monitor network traffic for signs of unusual activity or unauthorized access, which may indicate a malvertising attack in progress.
  6. Endpoint Protection: Install and maintain endpoint protection solutions, such as antivirus software and intrusion detection systems, to detect and block malware infections.

Malvertising is a pervasive threat that can have serious consequences for businesses. By taking proactive measures to protect against malvertising, businesses can safeguard their data, finances, and reputation from harm. By staying vigilant and implementing robust security measures, businesses can minimize the risk of falling victim to malvertising attacks.

Business, Managed Service Provider, Security, Small Business, Technology, Wifi / December 27, 2023

As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, it can be challenging for companies to keep up with the latest technology, trends, and best practices. That’s where managed IT services come in.

Managed IT services refer to the practice of outsourcing your company’s IT needs to a third-party provider like Rolle IT. Good Managed Service Providers will take care of all the IT tasks for your business, including managing and maintaining your computer systems, network infrastructure, and security protocols. Essentially, the provider becomes your IT department, but without the associated overhead costs.

There are numerous benefits to using managed IT services for your business. Here are just a few:

  1. Cost savings: By outsourcing your IT needs, you can save money on the costs associated with hiring and maintaining an in-house IT team. You’ll only pay for the services you need, and you won’t have to worry about the costs of training, benefits, and other expenses that come with employing full-time IT staff.
  2. Access to expertise: Managed IT service providers have a team of experts who specialize in different areas of IT. This means you’ll have access to a wide range of skills and knowledge that you might not be able to afford in-house. Additionally, your provider will stay up-to-date on the latest technology trends, so you can be sure that you’re always using the most efficient and effective systems.
  3. Increased productivity: With managed IT services, you’ll be able to focus on your core business activities, rather than worrying about IT issues. Your provider will take care of everything from troubleshooting problems to implementing new technology, leaving you free to focus on what you do best.
  4. Improved security: Managed IT services providers are experts in network security and data protection. They’ll be able to implement the latest security protocols and keep your systems up-to-date with the latest patches and updates. This can help prevent data breaches and other security incidents that could harm your business.
  5. Scalability: Managed IT services can be scaled up or down to meet your business needs. This means you’ll always have the IT resources you need, without having to worry about overpaying for services you don’t use.

Overall, managed IT services can be an excellent solution for businesses that want to stay up-to-date with the latest technology trends, improve their security posture, and increase productivity. By outsourcing your IT needs to a provider, you can focus on what you do best and leave the technology to the experts.

Safeguarding Your Digital Fortress: A Guide to Protecting Your Personal Data.

Uncategorized / November 14, 2023 / , , , , , , , ,

In an era where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, the protection of personal data has become a paramount concern. As an IT company committed to digital security, Rolle IT understands the significance of safeguarding your digital identity. In this blog post, we’ll share essential tips and best practices to help you fortify your digital fortress and ensure the security of your personal data.

  1. Use Strong, Unique Passwords: The foundation of digital security starts with robust passwords. Create unique passwords for each of your accounts, incorporating a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Regularly update your passwords to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
  2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification in addition to your password. Whether it’s through a text message, email, or authenticator app, 2FA significantly reduces the chances of unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.
  3. Regularly Update Your Software: Outdated software is a common entry point for cyber threats. Ensure that your operating system, antivirus software, and all applications are regularly updated. Software updates often include security patches that address vulnerabilities, making it harder for cybercriminals to exploit weaknesses.
  4. Be Cautious of Phishing Attempts: Phishing attacks are a prevalent method used by cybercriminals to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information. Be skeptical of unexpected emails, messages, or links. Verify the legitimacy of communication before clicking on links or providing any personal information.
  5. Encrypt Your Data: Encrypting your data adds an additional layer of protection, making it unreadable without the appropriate decryption key. Utilize encryption tools for sensitive files and consider using encrypted communication channels, especially when sharing confidential information.
  6. Review App Permissions: Be mindful of the permissions granted to apps on your devices. Some apps request access to more information than necessary. Regularly review and update these permissions to limit the data exposure in case of a security breach.
  7. Secure Your Wi-Fi Network: A secure Wi-Fi network is crucial for protecting your personal data at home. Use a strong, unique password for your Wi-Fi, enable WPA3 encryption, and change the default username and password on your router to prevent unauthorized access.
  8. Back Up Your Data: Regularly back up your important data to an external drive or a secure cloud service. In the event of a data breach or loss, having backups ensures that you can quickly recover your information without succumbing to ransom demands.
  9. Educate Yourself on Cybersecurity: Stay informed about the latest cybersecurity threats and best practices. Knowledge is a powerful tool in defending against digital threats. Follow reputable cybersecurity blogs, attend webinars, and invest time in learning about emerging threats.

Protecting your personal data requires a proactive approach and a combination of technical measures and user awareness. By implementing these best practices, you can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to cyber threats and enjoy a more secure digital experience. At Rolle IT, we are committed to empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the digital landscape securely. Stay safe, stay secure!
