Cybersecurity Solutions for Small and Medium Businesses in Reno

Small businesses in Reno and Northern Nevada face a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape. Modern hackers target organizations of every size—often exploiting outdated security practices, unpatched software, and inattentive users. At Sierra Computer Group, we specialize in comprehensive, proactive cybersecurity services, tailored to keep Nevada’s small businesses operating safely and with confidence. We partner with industry leading vendors and government agencies such as InfraGard and CISA to ensure we offer the latest guidance and technologies for our clients.

Our Proactive Approach to Cyber Defense

A successful cybersecurity strategy goes far beyond installing basic antivirus software. Our managed service process leverages industry best practices and proven tools to reduce your risk of data breach, ransomware, and downtime:

• Continuous Data Backup and Rapid Recovery
  We deploy dedicated backup appliances at every client site, backing up essential files and systems on an hourly basis. In case of accidental deletion, hardware failure, or targeted ransomware, your data can be easily restored—minimizing disruption and giving you peace of mind.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Across All Applications
  Passwords alone are no longer enough. We configure MFA for all critical applications, requiring a second form of verification before access is granted. This simple step stops most unauthorized login attempts—even if a password is stolen.

• Automated Patch and Update Management
  Outdated software is a hacker’s favorite door into your network. We ensure all operating systems and business applications are patched promptly, reducing your exposure to newly discovered vulnerabilities.
• Business-Class Firewalls and Advanced Threat DetectionOur team installs and manages robust, business-grade firewalls that monitor network traffic around the clock. With Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and layered antivirus solutions, we can spot and stop hidden threats on computers, servers, tablets, and other connected devices.
• Location-Based Access Controls
  Only authorized users can access your network, and we use advanced geolocation policies to block traffic from foreign countries and known attack hotspots—making life much harder for global cybercriminals.
• Email Security and Spam Defense
  Email remains the #1 source of business breaches. Our layered email protection filters out dangerous spam, phishing attempts, and malware—keeping your inbox clean and your employees safer.
• Continuous End User Training
  The human element is often a business’s weakest cyber link. We partner with industry-leading training platforms to deliver engaging cybersecurity awareness training, helping your staff identify and avoid the latest threats.

Technologies We Use

• EDR
  Endpoint Detection and Response is a combination of technologies that monitor security events on endpoints (computers and other user devices) and use that data to detect and mitigate security events across an entire network. EDR tools often include traditional Anti-virus and Anti-spyware scanning but go beyond that to increase security and reduce the time it takes to detect and respond to a threat.
• Identity Monitoring
  Identity monitoring tools monitor services such as Microsoft Entra ID (part of Microsoft 365) to identify logins that don’t match existing patterns, show evidence of malicious behavior, or come from known “bad” networks. This can help stop a threat even if a user’s password is leaked or compromised.
• Conditional Access
  Conditional Access policies are a part of Entra ID that can be used to intelligently restrict access to company data based on the user’s location, device, and other factors. When properly configured these policies can greatly reduce the risk of attack for cloud-based services.
• SIEM
  Security Information and Event Management is a technology that gathers log data from many sources – computers, firewalls, and login services just to name a few – to identify patterns that help identify attacks and compromises. Often, just looking at one source is not enough.

Fast, Expert Remediation When Breaches Occur

No security system is foolproof, but your response makes all the difference. If your systems are compromised or encrypted by ransomware, our remediation experts move quickly to restore your local devices, servers, and network. We leverage secure backups or rebuild clean machines as needed, working until your business is back online and your data is safe.
