ORLANDO, Fla. – Oct. 8, 2024 – ThreatLocker, a leading Zero Trust cybersecurity company, is closely monitoring Hurricane Milton, projected to move through Orlando on Thursday. In response, the company has activated its disaster response plan to ensure the safety of its employees and uninterrupted support for customers.
"We understand the critical role our team plays in keeping our customers secure, and as Hurricane Milton approaches, we’re equally focused on protecting our employees and maintaining service continuity," said ThreatLocker CEO and Co-Founder Danny Jenkins. "We’ve relocated key staff out of state to ensure full Managed Detection and Response services remain operational. Our Orlando data centers, rated for Category 5 hurricanes, are supported by backup facilities to cover any potential outages."
ThreatLocker’s offices and data centers are equipped with power and internet backups, reinforcing the company’s commitment to providing uninterrupted service.
During natural disasters, businesses can be more vulnerable to cyberattacks, especially when offices are closed. ThreatLocker offers these tips to help businesses in the path of Hurricane Milton:
• Secure your network: Power down and unplug non-essential systems while your office is closed.
• Verify offsite backups: Ensure your data backups are current for smooth recovery if needed.
• Strengthen team communication: Confirm secure communication methods to reduce the risk of phishing attacks.
For long-term disaster planning:
• Develop and regularly test disaster recovery plans: Ensure your team knows the steps to take during emergencies.
• Employee training: Regularly train staff to recognize cyber threats, even during disruptions.
• Stay vigilant: Securing your environment is a 24/7/365 responsibility.
