Small Business Cybersecurity

Why is Cybersecurity so important to small businesses? In today’s world just about everything is done online or over a computer network and Wi-Fi. This is great for productivity, immediate results, and ease of life tasks, but the problem is the devices we use and the network we connect to are not safe and secure. For small businesses, the process of keeping up these as well as new technologies, security updates and fixes, and the knowledge to protect them is a very challenging task. However, it is mandatory in order to protect our devices and our personal information from cyber threats. Cybersecurity in your small business can help prevent cyber-attacks, data breaches, lost information, and identity theft. According to the Ponemon Institute’s 2017 State of Cybersecurity in Small & Medium-Sized Businesses report, the percentage of small businesses that have experienced a cyber-attack in the past 12 months is up from 55% in 2016 to 61% in 2017.

Founded in 2004, Balancelogic is a Veteran-Owned and leading provider of small business service solutions to the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area.  Our focus is to provide our clients with high quality services that result in cost savings and business process efficiency.  Balancelogic offers the widest range of business support services by any single company, including business consulting, marketing, web and graphic design, SEO, IT support, and Avaya phone systems.  Balancelogic’s advantage lies not only on what services are provided, but also in how these services are provided, with a cross-trained and experienced team, a well thought out and proven process, and the integration of the right technology, giving the client an outstanding experience.

Family & Nursing Care Celebrates 50 Years in Business
Office move, service area expansion, leadership transition, and stakeholder events mark milestone anniversary

Family & Nursing Care

SILVER SPRING, MD (October 11, 2018)—Family & Nursing Care, the premier resource for in-home care services for older adults, celebrates half a century in business in 2018 with an office move, service area expansion, leadership transition, and a series of events for key stakeholders. Family & Nursing Care recently moved from 962 Wayne Avenue in Silver Spring just down the street to a larger space at 1010 Wayne Avenue. In addition, the company is currently expanding its service area coverage to include Anne Arundel and Howard Counties. Neal Kursban, formerly President of Family & Nursing Care, is now Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Jeff Zukerman, previously the company’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), has assumed the position of President.

The company is celebrating throughout 2018 with current employees, caregivers, professional partners, and clients and their families.

“This is an exciting time for Family & Nursing Care,” said Neal Kursban, Family & Nursing Care’s CEO. “Our expansion will help us serve more families who can benefit from our unique approach to home care, and my transition to CEO will allow me to focus more on working directly with our professional partners to meet the evolving demands of the healthcare system.”

According to Kursban, strategic growth has been part of the company’s plan since his mother, Sandy Kursban, started Family & Nursing Care in 1968. He says now is the time because private duty home care has shifted from being considered a luxury to becoming a necessity. The number of Americans aged 85 and older is projected to more than triple from 5.8 million in 2010 to over 19 million by 2050, so manageable, strategic growth in private duty home care is imperative. Eventually, the company has plans to expand across the mid-Atlantic region.

“Family & Nursing Care is well-positioned for innovation and expansion because of our flexibility,” said Jeff Zukerman, the company’s new President. “We are proactive, while also maintaining a strong infrastructure and ensuring our partners’ expectations are exceeded and clients continue to receive top-tier care.”

Kursban and Zukerman are vocal about the moral imperative to grow the company because of the superior care they provide older adults. It is an opinion shared by the industry. In 2017 Family & Nursing Care was recognized as one of the top two best private duty home care agencies nationwide (out of 26,000+) by DecisionHealth™.

Since 1968, Family & Nursing Care has been the premier provider of in-home care services for older adults, dedicated to and recognized for their passion and commitment to serve, help, and enhance the quality of life and well-being of others. The company refers and provides caregivers who assist with activities of daily life, companionship, and also skilled nursing care. For more information,  visit www.familynursingcare.com.
