September 2017  TekReport
Welcome
This month is National Preparedness Month. We have had wild fires,
multiple hurricanes and tornadoes hit us this year. I would like you to
take a moment and reflect on your home and business. Are you prepared?
While we may not get hurricanes, we do have lots of other natural
disasters that we need to be ready for, flooding, high winds, lightning,
and earthquakes.Natural disasters aside, what about building
fires, theft, equipment failure, or that car which accidentally went
through your wall. Have you thought through what these could mean for
your business? Give us a call if you would like to see what options
exist for your business to quickly recover, should an unexpected event
happen to you.Scott Christopherson

However, it’s clear that today’s cyber attacks prey on vulnerabilities
present in old software and hardware. (This holds especially
true for operating systems such as Microsoft Windows.)

It may not be “broke”, but it’s still old. “Working”
does not mean “secure”.

password combination. The other is the social login, which uses
your credentials for a social networking account, such as Facebook,
Google+, or Twitter.

Until recently the login method you prefer might have hinged
on convenience. However, you may want to consider security and
privacy before you click that “Log in with Facebook” button
again.

Quote of the Month
“What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.”— Anthony Robbins
