Ligga Telecom executive highlights why a good connection is essential for companies to operate with more security and competitiveness.

For many businesses, 1 minute of no connection means incurring considerable financial losses. Having a dedicated, secure and fast internet can, therefore, be the differential for the success or failure of a company.

“A quality internet ensures that the company has the best option in terms of stability and performance, allowing its operations and business to be always available to its employees and customers. An offline company is a company doomed to lose competitiveness”, says Ricardo Montanher, B2B sales director at Ligga Telecom.

Ligga – formerly Copel Telecom – serves more than 80 municipalities in Paraná and, according to the company, the number tends to increase, since 399 municipalities in the state already have a Ligga Telecom fiber optic network for corporate and residential use.

data protection
Companies that care about having a secure internet know that this care is essential to keep their data – and that of their customers – safe. In Brazil, between August 2019 and the same month of the following year, 96% of companies claimed to have suffered a cyberattack, with negative impacts on their business.

The finding is part of the report The Rise of the Business-Aligned Security Executive, commissioned from Forrester Consulting by Tenable, an information security company with more than 800 global business and cybersecurity leaders, including 59 Brazilian respondents.

According to the survey, these attacks had harmful effects such as lost productivity (46%), financial theft (33%) and theft of employee data (32%).

“Ensuring data protection, whether related to customers, sales, billing or strategic planning, is essential care. It is a company’s most valuable asset”, Montanher highlights.

According to him, when using a dedicated internet, the company has more security for sending and receiving information and exchanging data that the day-to-day demands. “For this reason, we always recommend dedicated access links, with cyber-attack mitigation services and a private IP address”, warns the Ligga Telecom executive.

The dedicated link consists of band symmetry, offering better service usability and greater connection stability. Through it, the corporation has a free and private channel to transmit its data in a much more agile and secure way.

Having an internet with a fixed (static) IP also guarantees other advantages, such as the possibility of using the computer itself as a server, in case the company wants to create a website.

The evolution of telecommunications
To guarantee its customers a wide, modern network and an exclusive connection, Ligga Telecom has a data network that allows for a greater level of control and exclusivity, so that corporate information is protected according to the highest levels of communication protocols.

“Our data center has triple power redundancy, fire protection, monitored access to the environment and high connectivity. We also have cloud products that are easy to use, online and intuitive to manage, providing security in data storage”, highlights Montanher.
