Montana cyber security businesses Honcoop Technology Services and Pine Cove Consulting getting busier in the wake of global WannaCry virus

Some industry observers contend that the WannaCry attack would have been contained earlier if all computer users had properly updated their computers with antivirus software and updates, sometimes called patches, that are made available periodically.

Jeff Honcoop, managing partner of Honcoop Technology Services http://www.honcooptechnology.com/ , says that most business owners understand the importance of protecting their computer network and digital information, yet some are reluctant to spend the money for it, given competing needs within the company.

Honcoop said cyber security is one part of a strategic planning process that his company does for customers. Not surprisingly, there is no one-size-fits-all-strategy for businesses trying to ward off threats from hackers. Different companies have different needs when it comes to security, he said.

Pine Cove Consulting http://marketing.pinecc.com , a Billings technology consulting company, got its start by developing computer systems for schools and small businesses, but more attention is being paid to cyber security.

"Cyber security has been a growing focus of our company. We see the need growing, and we’ve devoted a huge part of our company to it," said Brandon Vancleeve, vice president of Pine Cove Consulting.
