A technology plan and effective budgeting prepare any business to withstand these competitive technological times and maximize its resources. Begin with a winning formula.
The Winning Formula
- A plan is essentially a roadmap for investment in technology that can help you in many ways, including but not limited to the following:
- Ensuring all technology plans are aimed at and linked to broader organizational objectives.
- You can anticipate what’s needed and provide appropriate funding while minimizing the risk of unexpected expenses. Through priorities, you are making rational technology choices.
A Four-step Technology Plan
Take time to consider today’s needs and the opportunities to improve operations.
- Routine Cybersecurity Services. Smooth system functionality and efficiency ensure minimal downtime, keeping productivity going. Regular monitoring and maintenance of your infrastructure are necessary for the early detection of open vulnerabilities and protection against cyber threats. The only thing that helps safeguard your network is a vulnerability scanning solution.
- Technology Projects. Keep projects going further or enhance your technological capabilities, hardening against cyber threats through adopting new software or upgrading old hardware. Old systems appear cheap but reduce productivity, leaving you in the open regarding security. Refresh cycles done annually are imperative to ensure top performance and compliance.
- Incident Preparedness. Reinforce your cybersecurity to prevent ransomware attacks. Consider your current technology roadmap, including run-the-business services, projects, refreshes, and possible incidents.
- Employee survey. Ask the people working on existing technology what works and what does not to help drive investment priorities. Quote a wishlist, providing a detailed security cost map with modifications. A single click on a link can have disastrous consequences. A 2024 KnowBe4 study found that over 30% of employees fell victim to a phishing scam in a simulated attack, which can mess with your technology plan. This can allow malware to infiltrate your systems, leading to data breaches. Further, it leads to financial losses, reputational damage, and business disruptions. The solution? Empower your employees to become active participants in your defence strategy.
