 Every IT department has, or should have, a focus on reducing risks to information assets. Basically, the big goal is to protect everything that is critical information for the business and "run" in the company's daily routine. Take billing routines as an example. If the responsible department loses billing information and is unable to generate a bill or receive from customers, this risks the operation to stop. In other words, billing information is a fundamental informational asset. Now, if we look at the statistics related to information security, we see that the topic of care with information assets is of primary importance in the corporate world today.

 As fundamental agreements, SLAs are a system of resources to manage customer expectations and satisfaction. By configuring them properly, you can identify interruptions or performance problems.

For this reason, the pressure on them to provide faster and more efficient services to allow systems to operate without interruption has been constantly increasing. It is the role of an IT Service Technician to help customers and consumers to understand how to fix their computers as well as other technologies. They also help in the maintenance of computer and web functionality according to the customer’s specifications. Since the SLA compliance percentage must be periodically reviewed,...

There are many threats in the world of technology that can put corporations in extremely delicate positions if their private information is leaked. Attacks There are several groups specialized in accessing confidential company information in order to make it available on the internet, corrupt it or prevent it from being accessed by employees. In the event that access to data is impossible, these groups aim to blackmail those responsible for corporations in order to obtain very high amounts for the release of this information. Thus, it is necessary for companies to obtain an IT team that takes care of their database, updates themselves daily and is efficient in combating possible systemic invasions. Technicians are well-versed with the brass tacks of the services/products, which they provide support for. If IT Technicians are unable to resolve a problem, it is escalated to the senior team.

 There are several ways to define what big data is, which is probably why it is still a difficult concept to understand. Some authors describe big data as a set of data above a certain limit, for example, above a terabyte. Most renowned works identified big data as data that exhibits the characteristics of variety, speed and volume (COREA, 2019). For Kampakis (2020), big data is a buzzword, as it simply refers to massive data sets that are so large and complicated that traditional data processing software simply cannot handle them. In addition, it is related to NoSQL databases, cloud computing and so on. It is observed, therefore, that big data means different things to different people. According to Chen (2018), regardless of digital data sources, such as social media, databases, audio and video, big data exposes the characteristics of high volume, high speed of data input and output and high variety of data types and sources. They all seem to be correct in some way. As for big da...

 Reason 1: IT is changing history Whoever is sitting today in the companies' IT department has the possibility, even without knowing it, to write the history of the company's future, since technology is today the great engine of change. "Your colleagues depend on you showing them what the future will bring," says Willmott, who adds: "It's cool to be the first to know something, isn't it?" Reason 2: IT is everywhere IT professionals often forget that information technology goes beyond servers, programming language, data storage, among others. "It is everywhere: in real estate offices, in school bookstores, in stadiums and in turtle sanctuaries on the Caribbean islands," he says. The journalist considers that this allows the IT professional to use his knowledge for any type of company and in any location - only depending on the mastery of the foreign language. "Companies need to be more efficient and be connected. And that is what techno...

 Cybersecurity is a set of preventive actions to prevent cyber attacks on devices. With this, it assists information security (which has a more strategic bias), operationalizing technical development actions to mitigate failures.
