As 2023 draws to a close, businesses are not only looking forward to new opportunities but also facing the challenge of tightening their defenses against growing cybersecurity threats. In this ever-evolving digital landscape, an end-of-year IT checklist becomes an essential tool in safeguarding your business.
What is a Cybersecurity Checklist?
A cybersecurity checklist is a comprehensive list of tasks and protocols designed to enhance your organization’s digital security. This list serves as a guide to assess, manage, and mitigate risks associated with cyber threats. It’s a roadmap for ensuring that all aspects of your IT security are up-to-date and effective.
Why Cybersecurity is Important for Business?
Cybersecurity is more critical than ever. With the increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks and the rise of remote work environments, vulnerabilities have amplified. Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT concern but a business imperative. It’s about protecting not just your data but also your brand reputation, customer trust, and ultimately, your bottom line.
Statistics for Small Business Cybersecurity
Recent statistics reveal a concerning trend for small businesses. In 2023, over 60% of cyber-attacks targeted small to medium-sized businesses, primarily because they often lack the robust cybersecurity measures of larger corporations. The average cost of a data breach for small businesses now exceeds $150,000, a significant hit that can cripple operations.
Biggest Business Threats in 2023
The biggest threats businesses faced in 2023 included ransomware attacks, where hackers lock access to data until a ransom is paid, phishing scams, and internal threats, often due to inadequate employee training or malicious insider activities. Additionally, the rise in Internet of Things (IoT) devices has opened new avenues for cyber-attacks.
What Should Businesses Stop Doing in 2024?
Businesses should stop underestimating the sophistication of cybercriminals. Overlooking regular software updates, using outdated cybersecurity strategies, and neglecting employee cybersecurity training are practices that must be abandoned. In 2024, complacency can be costly.

Dear Clients:
As your trusted telecommunications provider, our priority is to keep you informed of industry regulations and updates. Today, I would like to share information about the Enhanced 911 (E911) compliance regulations. E911 is an advanced emergency calling service designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of 911 calls, enabling faster and more accurate responses from emergency services.
E911 compliance is mandatory in the United States. E911 requirements and compliance regulations apply to various types of communication services, such as landlines, VoIP, and mobile services, as well as Multi-Line Telephone Systems (MLTS) used by businesses and other organizations.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) enforces regulations that mandate the implementation of E911 services by telephone carriers and service providers. E911 works by combining traditional emergency calling features with advanced location-based information, making it easier for emergency responders to locate callers in need.
The primary concerns in E911 regulations is: providing accurate location information (dispatchable location), a valid callback number, enabling direct 911 calling (no prefix or area code), and an on-site notification sent to a central location.
To comply with E911 guidelines, it is crucial to ensure that your current address and phone numbers are up-to-date and accurately reflected in our database. Inaccurate or outdated information can result in delayed emergency response times, putting your safety and well-being at risk.
In addition to updating your information, it’s also important to understand how an E911 call works. When you dial 911, your call is routed to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) that covers your geographic location. The PSAP then utilizes information provided by your carrier (Conquest) to locate you and dispatch first responders as quickly as possible.
We encourage you to take a moment to review your contact information and ensure that it is current and accurate. Conquest does regularly audit this information in our database, however, if you have recently changed phone numbers, moved to a new address, changed your name, etc. please contact us ASAP. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for assistance. Email: support@csatlanta.com or 770-953-2500
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
