Distributed denial-of-service attacks, or DDoS attacks (where Trojan-infected server systems are deployed against another system, usually with the aim of shutting it down).
Having cybersecurity, as well as cyber insurance (which can protect you financially after an attack), is a good way to avoid disaster. The average cost of a cyberattack now exceeds $1 million, according to a recent Global Application and Network Security Report.
Website Solutions for Your Advisory Firm
Having a plain vanilla website is one thing. Having a website that’s optimized for search-engine optimization, or SEO, is quite another. The gulf between websites that function merely as brochureware and those primed to be a focal point for your customer service and marketing is why so many small-business owners feel faint when they get quotes for customized websites.
A fully functional, customized website can provide advisors with:
A digital-marketing centerpoint.
A secure, cloud-based document transfer/storage system.
An appointment calendar that sends out automated reminders.
An educational resource for your clients.
And, really, anything else you can think of — provided you pay a developer and UX designer to map out and implement the specific, additional aspects of your website you have in mind.
Besides going for a bespoke website, advisors can use third-party solutions at much lower costs. These start with pre-designed layouts to which business owners can add a number of features as they require them.
