One Step Ahead: InsITe Mitigates Top Business Security Gaps Months Before Government Announces Threat

Zeeland, MI. – Last week, on September 27th, 2018, the FBI made a public service announcement detailing the increasing exploits of malicious cyber actors to conduct malicious activity through remote desktop protocol, a common remote access method used by many companies. We found that the listed vulnerabilities and threats had already been mitigated by InsITe and that the FBI’s suggestions for protection had been in place for months for our Clients.

InsITe was aware of these common threats for businesses and mitigated them several months ago knowing this was a huge hole in security”, says Mike Schipper, CEO of InsITe . “Being ahead of government announcements like this one is a great example of InsITe’s dedication to the security and longevity of our Clients’ businesses. InsITe continues to prove itself as one of the most secure technology providers and I would like to thank the InsITe Team for being one step ahead of ever-evolving threats.”

ABOUT INSITE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS:

Most West Michigan manufacturers know they need to connect their shop floor systems with their business systems. But figuring out how to bridge that gap is like playing vendor roulette. They often end up picking either an IT shop or an automation house, or a combination of both. 

InsITe has IT and OT engineers on staff. One call, one team, one point of accountability across the full tech stack. Before we recommend anything, we walk your shop floor and then design the solution, execute the implementation, and own the outcome through managed services, security, and ongoing support.
