Line of Business applications
Our automated tools are always monitoring your LOB applications to ensure the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of your data. We check all updates against known CVE threats as listed by NIST, and then verify the installation.
How we support LOB applications
Watch Tower IT believe supporting LOB applications starts with good management – Here’s how we ensure your LOB apps are always performing optimally:
Comprehensive Management: We start by identifying all LOB applications used within your organization. Once identified, we establish a thorough management process tailored to each application.
Data Security: Many LOB applications handle sensitive data, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII). We ensure that access to this data is restricted to authorized personnel only, maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality.
Proactive Updates: To protect against vulnerabilities, we keep your LOB applications up-to-date with the latest security patches. This includes addressing threats listed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database, preventing potential security breaches.
Tailored Support Strategies: We recognize that LOB applications are often built on dated architectures and may not have widespread use, making them challenging to support. Many MSPs shy away from these complexities, but at Watchtower IT, we embrace them. We collaborate closely with you to develop a support strategy that suits your needs, typically providing first-line support on a best-efforts basis. For more complex issues, we coordinate with the LOB application provider to ensure a swift resolution.
Partnering for Success
Our goal is to ensure your LOB applications are reliable, secure, and effectively supported. By partnering with Watchtower IT, you can focus on your core business activities while we handle the intricacies of your LOB apps.
