You might think all your data goes to space. It’s stored on the cloud after all. Not quite. Around 99% of all international internet traffic is transmitted through a network of undersea fiber-optic cables, not satellites. These cables stretch for hundreds of thousands of miles across the ocean floor, connecting continents and creating the digital
Has your computer ever crashed for no reason? No warning, overheating, faulty software, just randomly shuts down out of nowhere? You might be able to blame the stars. Cosmic rays, high-energy particles from exploding stars, are constantly bombarding Earth. When they hit your computer’s hardware, they can flip a bit in memory from a 0

One question keeps popping up: Have you had a third-party audit done? If you’re working with any large organization—ones that follow ISO, SoC, or HIPAA compliance—they’re going to
What You Can Do to Stay Safe We’re only halfway through 2025, and already this year has seen a surge in sophisticated cyberattacks across the globe.

Why Waiting Will Cost More Than You Think If your business is still running on Windows 10 after Microsoft ends support in October 2025, you’re putting yourself at serious financial and operational risk. Delaying the upgrade to Windows 11 may seem like an easy short-term decision, but it opens the door to security breaches, downtime,
As Global Tensions Rise, So Does the Risk of Cyberattacks Artificial intelligence and global tensions have been advancing quickly. Leading to cyberattacks that are growing in both volume and complexity. These threats aren’t just targeting big corporations and government systems. They’re increasingly focused on small and mid-sized businesses. During a recent Axios event on cybersecurity

In disaster zones, first responders often face collapsed buildings, tight crawlspaces, and dangerous debris that humans, drones, and even rescue dogs can’t access. Meanwhile, in hospitals, surgeons need tools capable of navigating the human body with extreme precision and minimal damage. To tackle these challenges, scientists are developing a surprising solution: soft-bodied, shape-shifting robots. Researchers
Pollinators like bees are essential to global food production, but their populations are shrinking due to habitat loss, climate change, and pesticides. To address the crisis, scientists are developing tiny bug-like drones, some modeled after bees, others after ladybugs, that can autonomously pollinate crops. These “pollibots” are already being tested in greenhouses, where they delicately

In Maslow’s personal hierarchy, safety is second only to air, water, and food. You need to protect your business, satisfy industry compliance, and cybersecurity insurance requirements. Many sophisticated businesses employ the best of the best hackers who are endlessly trying to find ways into your business. We will help prevent breaches with our NIST-based tiered strategy that includes tools, services, best practices, and ongoing education. Cooperation with the client’s staff is important because your staff represents a gateway to your network and critical data. At Baroan, security is emphasized for our implementations, support, and network designs. The five-stage NIST Framework includes – Identify – the organizational understanding to manage cybersecurity risk to systems, assets, data, and capabilities. Protect – develop and implement the appropriate safeguards to ensure delivery of critical infrastructure services. Detect – develop and implement the appropriate activities to identify the occurrence of a cyber security event. Respond – develop and implement the appropriate actions for a detected cybersecurity event. Recover – The recover function aims to get back any data that might have been lost as a result of a breach or attack. It also deals with restoring services to critical systems that may have been damaged because of the incursion.

Similar to air, water, and food for your body, you need to get this right to survive. Nothing else will function properly without the proper Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) of your IT infrastructure. Baroan Technologies has invested seven years of research and development. This focused work evolved into a software company that has hundreds of other managed service providers (MSPs) utilizing the software solution that was created within Baroan Technologies. Working with these MSPs (and IT departments), we found a common theme. A tool is purchased, the standard templates provided are installed, the software is “turned on,” and the service provider or IT department is flooded with alerts. Eventually, the IT team turns the alerts off because they can never address the flood, and they miss critical alerts. They end up using the software for remote access and some basic features. However, they are not monitoring and maintaining as they should. We have addressed every nuance and detail related to RMM, starting with our Smart Monitors. Instead of applying static templates that quickly become obsolete, our Smart Monitors detect what you have and dynamically make the adjustments. Any MSP that purchases an RMM tool needs to create hundreds of scripted procedures. Most MSPs don’t have the time or necessary talent to do so, and the development never happens. Our program www.mspbuilder.com includes hundreds of dynamic scripts and procedures that evolve with each update. Each software tool we add to the suite of tools we use to maintain your network requires training, time, talent, and money to do it right. After we vet out a support tool, we select one of our Level Three engineers to become the expert in that software. They do the training, gain experience, and then they pass that knowledge onto the rest of the team. We also invest in professional services from the software vendor of the tool to review our installation and our use of the tool to make sure we are doing everything correctly and maximizing capabilities. Some examples of the suite of tools we use:
The following is a high-level list of tools employed for your safety.
Baroan Technologies adopted RMM very early in the history of MSPs and has invested heavily to make sure you have your air, water, and food to function properly. Remember that payroll is the biggest line item on the Profit & Loss statement for most businesses. Having your people wasting time looking at a “spinning wheel” preventing them from working or being on helpdesk calls about performance is a huge cost that adds up minute by minute. The dollars add up very quickly.
