Preventing COVID Cyber Breaches: ProCircular Offers Free Cybersecurity Scans to Critical Infrastructure
ProCircular Offers Free Cybersecurity Scans to Critical Infrastructure
Before a company starts down the path of information security, there’s often a looming feeling that something isn’t right and that the steps to fix it will take effort. I liken it to a messy room that they’ve simply closed the door on, so they can try to forget there is a mess to clean up. Every time they walk by the room, they feel a twinge of embarrassment or a spark of motivation to tackle the problem; however, that emotion lessons every time they walk by until the feeling evaporates. Now the messy room has been “normalized.”
ProCircular takes a broad approach to service continuity. In this spirit, we must consider the effects of a potential COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak in the coming months. While we expect little or no impact on either our products or services, we would like to provide some detail regarding our preparedness.

Here’s a quick one for all of the administrators and security practitioners. There’s no shortage of third-party programs designed to do remote desktop management and support. And while sure, many of them are secure, the ones we find in use most often are not. The reason being, they tend to be low or no cost solutions. Now, I’m not one to say that security should always be spendy, but let’s be honest, a lot of the time tools are an investment that management is not always willing to invest in. More often then not when we hit a business that is using VNC as their de facto remote management and support tool, the reason behind it is; “Well, it’s free, and we can shadow and control other machines with it for support calls.”
