Forty-two percent of business owners prefer to outsource. Forty-two percent of respondents also dread device viruses, 38% worry about back-up and disaster recovery and 35% fear phishing attacks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forty-two percent invest in managed IT services <\/strong>for their business. Of that group, 71% will invest more this year than they did in 2022.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cloud services<\/strong>\u00a0is the most beneficial managed IT offering, beyond cyber security according to business owners. Of those using cloud services today (desktop as a service, migration, monitoring or infrastructure as a service), 84% feel more confident in their company&#8217;s network and 86% more confident in data storage.<\/li>\n<li>The sample of 500 US-based small business owners showed 74% of those with managed IT services feel &#8220;confident&#8221; or &#8220;extremely confident&#8221; in their company&#8217;s ability to navigate cyber security because of that support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Managed IT solutions are gaining traction among small businesses as they experience the value of cost and time savings first-hand, yet\u00a0there are still educational opportunities to dispel common misconceptions,&#8221; Breaux continued. &#8220;Some\u00a0business owners pushing off managed IT solutions\u00a0believe\u00a0their business is too small or the investment is too costly. Even putting cyber security risks aside, with the right partner, managed IT solutions\u00a0help small businesses unlock ways to improve operational efficiency, clearing\u00a0the path to accelerate scale and\u00a0growth.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing cyber security concerns please call us at 800-854-2444 or visit our website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inversetech.com\">www.inversetech.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>SOURCE: Cision PR Newswire; May 3, 2023 from Cox Communications<\/em><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some interesting info in this press release from Cox Communication, released 5\/3\/23 on Cision PR Newswire.
