The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an extraordinary amount of upheaval in our lives. There have been layoffs and closures, shortages in supplies, and in many cases a disruption of the entire supply chain. That much uncertainty brings with it the unpleasant knowledge that your company can be a very fragile thing. One area that may have found your business, or another small business you know of, is cybercrime. Cybercrime has been shown to be up 600% due to the pandemic.
We’ve all heard about the big companies being hacked—it’s the little guys that don’t get the headlines. Zacaw recognizes that, as a small-to-medium-sized business, you need exactly what the big guys need. That's why we partnered with Netsonic, a veteran-owned, fully cloud-based company for security and reliability, to provide secure managed hosting services for the small business.

As a business owner, you’re probably used to taking charge and being a leader day after day. But sometimes, part of being a great leader is knowing when to stop and listen.
