October 19, 2017 Security, Tech Tips

What is 2FA?

Two Factor Authentication is an additional layer of protection beyond your password. With millions of people online every day, processing millions of transactions, how do you prove your identity to websites?

October is National Cyber Security Month, Scary Facts Could Lead to Wiser Decisions!

October 12, 2017 Security, Tech Tips

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month.  I guess "scary" doesn’t just apply to Halloween these days.  One of the scariest things this season is knowing how insecure our financial information can be.  Recently Equifax revealed that more than 143 million consumer accounts were compromised in a breach and then last week Yahoo announced that every single one of its' user accounts were breached back in 2013.  This news isn't easy to swallow because it's serious.  Serious threats to personal data are at an all-time high.

February 21, 2017 Managed IT Services, Security, Tech Tips

 

We depend on many different tools, services and securities in life to help keep us safe. Question is, do we take the proper precautions to make sure they’re working, that they're doing their function? We don’t live in a perfect world and that's exactly why we should be testing our managed security systems often.  Last night I decided to test my home security system.
