Network Coverage is excited to share that we finished as a 2024 XCellence Award finalist in multiple categories at the Midsize Enterprise Summit (MES) Spring conference, hosted by The Channel Company in Orlando.

 

In addition to Network Coverage’s Alex Joy and Bridget Wilson being named finalists for Best Solution Provider, NetCov was also a finalist in the XCellence in Solutions Track Presentation, thanks to an insightful presentation on cybersecurity management by Wilson.

 

XCellence award finalists were voted on by senior midmarket IT leaders at MES Spring 2024. This recognition spotlights IT suppliers who consistently deliver outstanding and innovative midmarket products, services, and presentations. Network Coverage was named a finalist for their deep commitment to excellence and responsiveness to the midmarket’s unique IT and business needs.

 

“Congratulations to Network Coverage for being a finalist for the MES Spring XCellence Award. This recognition is reserved for IT suppliers who demonstrate an unwavering commitment to empower midmarket enterprises with game-changing IT solutions and services,” said Adam Dennison, VP of Midsize Enterprise Services at The Channel Company. “The finalists have shown dedication to exceeding expectations, and helping IT leaders in the midmarket achieve their business goals. We look forward to sharing the finalists on MES Computing and seeing how Network Coverage will continue to enhance the IT channel.”





Network Coverage has a trio of exciting announcements to share, all of which mark a major step forward for the company.

NetCov acquires MadWolf Technologies and The Lloyd Group

Network Coverage officially announced two acquisitions on Monday morning: Washington, D.C.-based MadWolf Technologies and New York City-based The Lloyd Group.

 

In conjunction with NetCov’s July 2023 acquisition of VersaTrust in Fort Worth, Texas, these moves greatly expand Network Coverage’s nationwide footprint and presence in the NGO (non-governmental organization) and financial services space, while strengthening the company’s comprehensive technology solutions and operational excellence.

 

“It’s breathtaking to think about the journey we’ve made since I started here,” said Network Coverage’s CEO, Alex Joy, who joined the company in 2011 as an IT Specialist and has been at the forefront of its rapid growth. “Forming a partnership with established, widely respected, forward-thinking organizations like The Lloyd Group and MadWolf Technologies is a seminal moment for Network Coverage.”

The relaunch of netcov.com

As you likely noticed, things look a bit different around here.

 

We’ve overhauled our website with a few key goals in mind. Beyond the look and feel, we wanted to enhance our presentation of the wide array of ways we serve our clients as a true end-to-end technology partner.

 

We also wanted to make netcov.com a better gateway for connecting with us, for prospective clients and for existing ones – the latter of which will soon be presented with a link to our robust, feature-packed client portal that will be launching in the coming weeks.

 

Third, we wanted to adopt a new look and feel for a platform where we’ll be significantly ramping up content creation – from technology insight and productivity tips to company announcements, staff profiles and more.

The new look NetCov

Look and feel were important for our website refresh, so it was only fitting that our branding underwent a similar transformation.

 

We’ve slightly tweaked our cornerstone blue and green color scheme and paired that with a new, modernized logo. We needed something befitting of the times – not just the year 2024 but the launch of a new era in the company’s history, and we’re excited to fly our new flag.





Rental Management wrote a great piece entitled “Cybersecurity: Safeguarding against growing threats.”

A summary of the article:

The average ransom demanded by cybercriminals increased by 20% to $1.8 million in 2021, with data breaches increasing by 68% compared to the previous year. Personally identifiable information breaches also increased from 80 to 83%. Bridget Wilson, the chief information security officer at Network Coverage, warns that while the same types of cyberattacks are being used, the attack vectors are more advanced than ever before. Phishing scams via text message are increasing, with attackers using specific bait such as gift card lures and account compromise fakes.

Wilson recommends being careful about posting contact information on social media and not clicking on links in unsolicited texts. Wire fraud and business email compromises are also increasing, with attackers lying in wait to interject themselves into email threads and change payment information. Wilson advises businesses to educate staff about cybersecurity threats and implement policies to prevent cyberattacks, such as routine automated patch schedules, and having staff confirm payment information changes over the phone. Read the full piece over at ararental.org.

 

“We are seeing the same [types of cyber-attacks] rehashed, but the attack vectors are more advanced and being used in a more skilled way now than ever before…”

says Bridget Wilson, Chief Information Security Officer, Network Coverage (Danvers, Mass.) — a firm that provides information technology solutions and managed cybersecurity services.
