Spring isn’t just for deep cleaning your home—it’s the perfect time to refresh your IT infrastructure and ensure your systems are running at peak performance. Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to security vulnerabilities, slow performance, and unexpected downtime. Here’s what you should clean up and optimize this month:
✅ User Accounts – Remove inactive or former employee accounts to reduce security risks. Ensure multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled for active users.
✅ Software Updates – Outdated software can be an open door for cyber threats. Patch vulnerabilities by updating operating systems, applications, and security tools.
✅ Backups & Disaster Recovery – A backup is only good if it works when you need it! Test your backups and ensure your disaster recovery plan is solid.
✅ Old Hardware – If your devices are slowing down productivity, it’s time to evaluate upgrades. Aging hardware can be a security risk and an efficiency drain.
✅ Email Security & Phishing Protection – 90% of cyberattacks start with an email. Review your email security policies, train employees on phishing red flags, and consider advanced email filtering solutions.
💡 Bonus Tip: Don’t forget to declutter digital storage! Archive unnecessary files and clean up your cloud storage for better organization and efficiency.
