Techsgiving: 5 Foolproof IT Tips for a Stress-Free Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family, and—let's face it—eating too much. But while you’re guarding the last slice of pumpkin pie from that sneaky cousin, who’s watching over your business’s tech? At Big Water Tech, we’re here to help your SMB avoid tech disasters so you can relax and enjoy the feast.

With these foolproof IT tips, your business will stay secure, and you can focus on what really matters: arguing over who gets the turkey leg.

Thankful for Proactive Cybersecurity

Did you know 46% of all data breaches target businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees? That’s right—cybercriminals see SMBs as the low-hanging fruit of the tech world. But don’t worry, Big Water Tech has the “recipe” to keep your business secure.

With BigView’s monitoring services and BigProtect’s network defense, we’ll make sure your business is locked tighter than Aunt Linda’s secret stuffing recipe. Phishers, hackers, and cyber-grinches won’t stand a chance!

Gratitude for Simplified IT Management

Managing IT in-house can feel like trying to cook a 12-course Thanksgiving feast with no help. Why suffer when you can outsource? Big Water Tech’s managed IT services are like having your very own team of sous-chefs (except they cook up IT solutions instead of mashed potatoes).

With 24/7 monitoring and support, we’ll handle your tech headaches while you focus on that second helping of pie.

5 Foolproof IT Tips for Thanksgiving

Want to make sure your business tech doesn’t end up in a food coma? Here are our top 5 IT tips:

1. Secure Remote Access

Protect your network like you’re guarding the last piece of pumpkin pie! Use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication to keep sneaky cyber guests out—because you know they’re not bringing dessert.

2. Back Up Critical Data

Imagine spilling gravy all over your holiday recipes—disaster, right? Back it up! Ensure your data is safe in the cloud and on-site so your business keeps running smoothly, no matter what gets spilled.

3. Set Up Proactive Alerts

Don’t let your network hit a holiday snag! With proactive monitoring, you’ll know about tech issues before they snowball—so you can focus on the pumpkin pie, not the server crash.

4. Automate to Relax Like a Turkey Nap

Automation tools are like a turkey nap—they keep things running smoothly while you take a well-deserved break. Let your tech handle updates and processes so you can focus on Thanksgiving football and leftovers.

5. Stay Cyber-Aware

Phishing scams are like that one cousin trying to sneak extra pie—don’t let them fool you! Teach your team to recognize fake holiday deals and suspicious links before they ruin your (and your business’s) holiday cheer.
