Things you should know:
- MAJOR Vulnerability: Adobe Flash has been constantly having massive security issues lately. So much so that some sites are banning it’s use. Almost EVERY computer has this installed and is at risk of spyware, malware, ransomware and damage. Not only are the attacks major, adobe takes a long time to patch them and even then new problems arise. Remember to patch ALL your computers! Including at home! Pay special attention to third party, non-Microsoft, programs.
- Free Utility: We have a free utility that blocks many of the ransomware attacks. Ransomware like Cryptolocker is hitting tons of firms and is extremely hard to block. Get our free tool that can help at: www.infostream.cc/cryptolocker
- Aggressive Auditing: If you are on one of our Worry-Free plans for your server(s), we have purchased a very expensive set of tools to do an aggressive audit of your servers. It is FREE to Worry-Free clients. We will be doing these scans in the coming months as a triple check that your servers are up-to-date, patched, secure, safe, etc. If you want to know more about our Worry-Free program, let me know.
- Hurricane Season: Season is soon to flare up. But even if we don’t’ have a hurricane, a single theft, fire or damage to your server can cause all of your data to disappear. If you lose everything, your business can go under and people lose their jobs. To be blunt, it terrifies me that so often we find people that THINK they are backed up and the backups are NOT working. Or they think they have something offsite and they do NOT. Please check!! If someone steals your server, they will steal your backup drive. SO many people think they are safe until they are totally wiped out. Don’t be “that” person! Please!
