October 15, 2025

We’re excited to announce the launch of our brand-new Gigastorm website! Our goal with this refresh is simple: to make it easier than ever for businesses of all sizes to understand the services we offer and how we can help them thrive in today’s technology-driven world.

At Gigastorm, we believe that technology should empower your business, not slow it down. That’s why we offer a full range of services — from Managed IT Solutions, Cybersecurity Protection, and Business Continuity Planning to website design, graphic design, and custom applications. Whether you need a proactive IT plan, creative digital services, or a completely tailored solution, we’re here to make your technology work for you.

We understand that no two businesses are the same, and technology is never one-size-fits-all. That’s why we take the time to learn about your goals, challenges, and vision — then provide solutions that fit your needs, your team, and your budget.

We’re proud of our new website, but we’re even more proud of the work we do helping businesses stay secure, productive, and ready for growth. Take a look around, explore our services, and let us know how we can support you.

Why We Are Different

People in IT get a bad reputation for being impersonal - to put it lightly. We have heard countless stories about IT personnel going in and fixing the technology issue, but not taking the time to go over things with the staff. Or worse, acting annoyed when a client has some questions about how something works or how to use a specific piece of equipment.

With Gigastorm IT Services, we make sure we don't leave until all of your questions and problems have been resolved. We will happily answer any question you may have. Don't know how to use a specific piece of software? We will help you navigate it. Not sure how to change your password? We will walk you through each step so you know for next time. Don't want to deal with anything technology related and just want someone to do it all for you? We can do that too.

We are here to help with any issue you may have, big or small and we will not leave until all questions have been answered and all issues have been resolved. Your company deserves the big business benefits of a qualified IT department working for you. With Gigastorm IT Services, you get just that - for a fraction of the cost.

Support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 will end by October 31, 2024

Article

Please go here to search for your product's lifecycle.

To enhance security and provide best-in-class encryption for your data, we'll require interactions with services to be secured using Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 or later beginning October 31, 2024, when support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will end.

The Microsoft implementation of older TLS versions is not known to be vulnerable, however, TLS 1.2 and later offer improved security with features such as perfect forward secrecy and stronger cipher suites.

Recommended action

To avoid potential service disruptions, confirm that your resources that interact with services are using TLS 1.2 or later. Then:

If they're already exclusively using TLS 1.2 or later, you don't need to take further action.
If they still have a dependency on TLS 1.0 or 1.1, transition them to TLS 1.2 or later by October 31, 2024.

The Unexpected Culprits of Cyber Threats

It's a sobering reality that even those entrusted with safeguarding digital fortresses can fall victim to poor password habits. Recent studies reveal that IT professionals, despite their expertise, often engage in practices that compromise security. These include:

Reusing passwords across multiple accounts: A common pitfall that can lead to catastrophic consequences if one account is compromised.
Using weak, easily guessable passwords: A tempting shortcut that leaves systems vulnerable to brute-force attacks.
Storing passwords in insecure locations: Whether it's a sticky note or an unencrypted file, this practice exposes sensitive information to potential threats.

Why Choose Gigastorm IT Services as Your MSP?

At Gigastorm IT Services, we understand the critical role that strong password hygiene plays in maintaining cybersecurity. That's why we prioritize proactive measures to protect your business from cyber threats:

Comprehensive Security Assessments: We conduct thorough evaluations of your IT infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and implement robust security measures.
