- Hardware Failure - Natural disasters can occur without warning, resulting in corrupted hard drives and damaged servers among other risks. In addition to implementing technologies to ensure your systems remain online, Rocket IT’s vCIO manages routine backups of your files.

Through weekly project meetings and monthly executive huddles, new security trends are evaluated to ensure your strategic IT plan remains relevant. In turn, modern technologies, such as application whitelisting and end-point detection and response, are deployed to continuously check your network for suspicious behavior.
