Avoiding scams is becoming harder every day. Phone scams, email scams, ransomware, cyber criminals continue to invent new ways to attempt to steel from you and your business every day. The FCC just published (March 27, 2017) an alert about the latest scam known as the “Can you hear me” scam.

No one likes passwords, but passwords are more important today than they have ever been. If you have been using the same type of password for years, it is probably useless today. If your important online accounts; banking, investments, health records or any other critical personal information is at stake, you need to be confident that you are using a secure, random code that a machine can’t guess.

Essential for Secure Backup and Business Continuity

Today’s businesses require a backup solution that delivers much more than a traditional local only strategy. Given the constant risks to its data, from all directions, it’s important for businesses to ensure 1) that their data is protected and 2) they can remain operational in lieu of a system disruption.

Habits – whether you consider them good or bad depends on your point of view. For example, you may consider it a good habit to make all of your passwords the same long complex statement but in reality if you are using the same password for all of your accounts it is a bad habit.

What’s more frightening for your business operations than a natural disaster? Your employees.
