Regardless of the size of your business, or the number of servers you have, if you have a network you need all the same things that a large business needs. Internet connectivity, firewalls, server(s), software licenses, switches, cabling, virus protection, spam protection, backups, patch management, desktop support, and the list goes on. Even a small business with a single server has all of the technical concerns of a large business. In today’s IT world, the major difference in the IT environment between a large business and that of a small or medium business is not the technology in use. The major difference is in risk assessment, available budget, and affording technical expertise. Downtime is just too costly, negatively affecting productivity, profitability, and customer relations. As we work with you and your employees we will analyze your workflow and provide the technology that you need to streamline your workflow. In many cases we are able to do away with costly corporate applications and custom build software that is molded around our clients needs. The end result is always more productivity and less overhead.

Warning: If your device uses WiFi, it’s at risk! News broke yesterday about the Krack attack, a new cyber threat that can decrypt and potentially view everything users are doing online. The Krack Attack preys on a weakness in WPA2 protocol. Hackers near the vulnerable devices (Android and Linux are at greatest risk) can retrieve sensitive user data and information.

What needs to be done?
1. Apply patches as they become available. For phones and computers, the patches will come in the usual update format. For wifi routers, the manufacturer’s website will have the patches.
2. Don’t use public WiFi, especially for sharing or sending any sensitive information.
3. Double check that you are browsing with HTTPS. If you are unsure, install this plug-in to encrypt your communications with major websites and make your browsing more secure. https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
4. Otherwise, use Ethernet.

How is the NSA spying on your house?
They obtain access to your router, or office router by installing backdoors and other implants remotely or by physically intercepting hardware being delivered to customers and planting backdoors in firmware. Firmware is the software that runs the router that you picked up from Office Depot / Best Buy.
