October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

Cybersecurity Awareness Month (October) is a global initiative promoting actions to reduce cyber risks. This year’s theme, Building a Cyber Strong America, underscores the need to strengthen national infrastructure against cyber threats.

Cybersecurity is not just an IT issue—it’s essential to public safety and economic security. From government and schools to utilities and small businesses, every part of our critical infrastructure plays a role in keeping communities secure and resilient.

We specialize in helping county governments:
Secure networks against cyber threats
Modernize aging IT infrastructure
Leverage grants and cooperative contracts to stretch limited budgets
Reduce downtime and improve staff productivity

Whether you’re looking to assess your county’s cybersecurity posture or planning your next technology upgrade, our team will be on-site to help you take the next step with clarity and confidence.

Come see us at our booth — grab some insights, ask tough questions, and leave with a clearer path forward for your county’s IT future.

World Backup Day falls on March 31^st each year, giving you at least one annual opportunity to check in on your data backups. 

Are your backups sufficiently reliable? Would you be able to operate strictly from backed-up data if you suddenly lost access?

These are important questions that we can help you answer! We’ve just published a new blog post outlining best practices for solid backups—including how the 3-2-1 Backup Rule works and why frequent testing is so critical.

On World Backup Day, We Wanted to Ask… How Does Your Strategy Look?

Are You Already Relying on Us for Backup? Rest assured that we proactively monitor and regularly test your solution to verify it’s effective.

Looking for Backup Assistance? Contact us to discuss how we can customize the right approach to reinforce and protect your crucial data. Whether you need a fresh backup plan or just a review of your current setup, we’ll help ensure you’re prepared for any data disruption—from hardware failures to cyberattacks.

Make every day World Backup Day… because the safety of your data is always worth the effort.

When RMHC® of Huntington needed a new computer for their volunteer office, NIS answered the call. As a small business, we understand that financial constraints can dictate and restrict purchases, even of items that are needed. That's why, when we first saw their request for donations to purchase a new computer for their volunteers to use, we knew we needed to help. This was a simple way we could give back to this organization that gives so much to our community. We are grateful for the needs that they meet and the care they provide, and are thankful that we could meet a need of theirs.

*If you're looking for a local 501©(3) to donate your time or resources to, we can't recommend RMHC® of Huntington enough!

In honor of Customer Service Week, we recognize and celebrate our Team and their continuous hard work. We hate to brag [we don't], but we have the best Team.

Our Operations Team. They're the backbone of our service operations. Their knowledge and talent is what keeps our clients' businesses working and running. We're proud of and appreciate Charlie, Curtis, Tyrone, Isaiah and Drew.

Our Sales Team is probably the most recognized-they're to whom most are initially introduced. They support our clients and help guide them to what they need. John, Hunter, Tyrone and Jim also cultivate our vendor relationships to ensure the best offerings available for our clients.

Our Marketing Team keeps things interesting. They bring awareness to our business and offerings. Rob, Stacie, Hunter and John develop, design and implement each infographic, campaign and post you see. Their goal is to introduce you to NIS before you know you need them.

NIS is a TEAM. We work together to support our clients, our vendors, our business-and most importly-each other. We succeed as one, and we fail as one. Each step is a step made together. Sometimes we have to carry each other. But most of the time, we encourage each other to keep going. We are honored and value each team member's contributions.
