Not All IT Guys are Cybersecurity Guys – But at NSG, We're Both

Did you know that 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses?

And did you know that despite this, many IT providers overlook basic cybersecurity measures?  

At NSG, we’ve seen firsthand how the lines between IT and cybersecurity blur – and why it matters for your business. Here’s how NSG combines IT and cybersecurity expertise to give your business the most comprehensive protection.

A Tale of Two Roles

Recently, we spoke with a cybersecurity company looking for “boots on the ground” to implement their recommendations for clients. They explained, “We aren’t IT guys – we focus on cybersecurity. We ensure businesses have firewalls, backups, disaster recovery plans, and antivirus software.”

Funny thing is, at NSG, we are IT guys – and we do all those things, too, alongside our broader IT services. Their comment sparked a realization: not all cybersecurity experts are IT professionals, and definitely not all IT professionals are cybersecurity experts.

We’ve interviewed countless IT candidates with years of experience who know little about backups, disaster recovery, or protecting clients from viruses, ransomware, or malware. In today’s threat landscape, that’s a gap businesses can’t afford.

Why Cybersecurity Is Part of Our IT DNA

At NSG, we believe IT goes beyond rebooting computers or reinstalling software. Our job is to keep your systems running smoothly and secure. That means:

  • Robust Backups: Ensuring your data is safe and recoverable, no matter what.
  • Disaster Recovery Plans: Preparing your business to bounce back from outages or attacks.
  • Antivirus and Firewalls: Blocking threats before they strike.
  • System Patching and Monitoring: Keeping your tech up to date to close security gaps.
