Do You Need to Alter Your Business Model Due to the Pandemic?

Technology Can Help You Get There.

Last year was an unprecedented year. By March, there was no such thing as "business as usual."

Our industry saw big technological leaps and a fast-paced acceleration of technology use among all sorts of small businesses. Many companies had to adapt their operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and technology was central to their success.

Even more troubling, the state vaccine management system was also initially unable to schedule the second dose for workers who received the first one, further complicating matters.

Dangerous Backdoor Account Found in more than 100,000 Zyxel Firewalls and VPN Gateways

At a time when more workers are remotely connecting to their corporate networks than ever before, security has never been more crucial. Sadly, it's been found that more than 100,000 Zyxel firewalls, VPN gateways, and access point controllers contain a hard-coded, admin-level backdoor account that hackers can use to gain root access to network devices. The backdoor account, discovered by a team of Dutch security researchers, is considered extremely worrisome in terms of vulnerabilities. Anyone using these devices is urged to update their systems immediately to help prevent any additional attacks. Need help with this task? Call eNet Systems at 281-403-9561 or email us now.
