Securing Confidential and Proprietary Data
Engineering firms frequently handle sensitive, proprietary projects. Ensuring that data remains secure throughout the lifecycle of a project is crucial. At Tech Rage IT, we implement a multi-layered cybersecurity approach that includes encryption, remote access security, and data loss prevention.
Cybersecurity Solutions for Engineering Firms:
- Encryption at Rest and In Transit: We ensure that all data, whether stored or being transferred, is fully encrypted to prevent unauthorized access.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): MFA adds an extra layer of security, especially for remote workers who need to access critical files from offsite locations.
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP): We monitor file downloads and activity to ensure that sensitive data isn’t compromised, particularly when employees leave the firm.
- Security Awareness Training: We offer regular training for employees to recognize and avoid potential cyber threats, an essential service for firms handling high-stakes projects.
Disaster Recovery for Critical Engineering Data
Engineering firms can’t afford to lose critical data due to a disaster. Whether it's natural disasters, cyberattacks, or hardware failure, Tech Rage IT provides robust disaster recovery plans that ensure business continuity.
Our Approach to Disaster Recovery:
- Identifying Critical Data: We work with you to determine which data is most critical to your operations, such as project files stored on local servers, emails, and cloud-based data in SharePoint or Teams.
- Backup Options: We provide a range of backup options, from basic daily backups to advanced solutions that include cloud-based and physical backups. Our approach ensures that your data is protected at multiple levels.
- Flexible Backup Solutions: We understand that every firm has different needs, access requirements, and budgets for backup solutions. Our disaster recovery services are scalable, allowing you to choose the level of protection and access that fits your firm’s specific requirements.
High-Performance IT Systems for Engineering Software
Engineering firms rely on software such as CAD, simulation tools, and PLM systems, all of which require high-performance hardware and network infrastructure. Tech Rage IT works directly with software vendors to ensure your systems are optimized for speed, accuracy, and reliability.
Optimizing IT for Engineering Software:
- Collaboration with Software Vendors: We don’t just hand off your IT issues to software vendors. We work directly with them to ensure your systems are configured correctly and that any software updates or patches are handled smoothly.
- System Benchmarking: We assist engineering firms by working directly youroftware to test how different hardware configurations, such as Dell vs. Lenovo, perform with the same engineering software. This ensures your firm is using the best hardware setup for optimal performance and efficiency.
- Storage Solutions: Engineering firms require large storage capacities for their data. We design server setups that provide the massive storage you need, with the ability to scale as your data grows.
