ICSI Shares Managed Security Tips for Computer Security Day

Annapolis, Md. — International Computer Services, Inc. (ICSI), an IT company in Maryland providing managed IT and security services since 1987, is marking Computer Security Day on November 30 with six practical steps businesses can take to lower their risk of a cyberattack before the year closes.

Why Computer Security Day matters for businesses this year

Computer Security Day has been observed every November 30 since 1988 as a prompt to review how computers and business data are protected. The need keeps growing: the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received 1,008,597 complaints in 2025, with reported losses of $20.9 billion, a 26% rise on 2024.

“Most of the incidents we’re asked to help with start with something small: a reused password, a missed update, an email that looked routine,” said Max Sedghi, VP of Client Success at ICSI. “Computer Security Day is a good reason to fix those basics before an attacker finds them.”

ICSI’s managed security tips

1.Turn on multi-factor authentication for email, remote access and finance systems.
2.Patch on a schedule. Keep operating systems, firewalls and business applications current, and track anything overdue.
3.Back up critical data with one copy kept offline, and test a restore at least once a quarter.
4.Train staff to spot phishing and to confirm payment or password-change requests by phone.
5.Monitor around the clock. 24/7 threat detection and response catches activity that starts after hours, when offices are empty.
6.Run a vulnerability assessment to find and close weak points before they are exploited.

Support for organizations without a full security team

ICSI’s managed security services cover threat detection and response, vulnerability management and security strategy for organizations in healthcare, construction, nonprofits, education, finance and logistics.
