At Lakeshore IT Solutions, customers are our priority

Lakeshore IT Solutions is an IT reseller based in Spring Grove, Illinois, working primarily in the education space. Their nine employees work hard to deliver exceptional support, be good communicators, and anticipate the needs of their customers. While all team members have security awareness experience, two engineers solely focus on networks and security to protect each client.

Security awareness training with phishing simulations is vital to Lakeshore IT Solutions because it keeps their employees and customers aware of the harm cyber incidents can cause an organization. Rian Yablun, President of Lakeshore IT Solutions, says, “It seems like there are more and more scams, even on a daily basis, that everyone needs to be protected from. Security awareness training teaches people what they should be looking out for and how to properly respond.”

Lakeshore IT Solutions’ customers’ security best practices are constantly changing based on the IT landscape and as new threats emerge. “We try to help our customers as best as possible with all of our security relationships throughout the IT space,” says Yablun.
