John Geantasio, running a reputable CPA firm in New Jersey, found himself at a cybersecurity crossroads when introduced to the Cybersecurity expert at Telco United Cyber. Initially hesitant, John agreed to undergo a third-party penetration test to assess the
vulnerabilities within his firm’s digital infrastructure.
John recognized the critical importance of data security in safeguarding sensitive client information, but was concerned about
the potential risks and the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. Therefore, John sought a comprehensive solution to fortify his
firm’s defenses.
Telco United Cyber implemented advanced
ransomware protection measures, creating a secure
shield against malicious attacks that could potentially
compromise critical data.
An application whitelisting strategy was deployed to control and restrict unauthorized applications, reducing the risk of malicious software infiltrating the firm’s systems.
Recognizing that the human element is a crucial
aspect of cybersecurity, Telco United Cyber provided unlimited employee cybersecurity awareness training. This ongoing education ensured that the firm’s staff remained vigilant and well-informed about the latest cyber threats and best practices.
The collaboration with Telco United Cyber empowered John E. Geantasio CPA LLC to establish a resilient cybersecurity
framework. John Geantasio now rests assured that his clients’ sensitive information is well-protected, and his firm is equipped to face the challenges posed by cyber threats.
By embracing ransomware protection,
application whitelisting, continuous employee training, and regular third-party assessments, John has not only fortified his firm’s defenses but also demonstrated a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data security. The case of John E. Geantasio CPA LLC serves as a testament to the transformative impact of proactive cybersecurity measures in today’s digital
landscape.
