Imagine that your competitor or a former employee steals some propriety information of your business, such as its customer list, trade secrets, or computer code.

InfoStream prides itself on providing the highest quality service possible. We are constantly evaluating our support options and adjusting how we operate to ensure we are doing everything we can to keep client networks running smoothly and efficiently.

In today's world of computerizing everything, we all find ourselves with lots of files on our computers. Everything from instruction manuals, to music, to financial software is ending up on our hard drives. Inevitably we find out that some of those files ended up in a location we really don't want them.

Every computer on a typical network is assigned a unique series of numbers specific to that network that identifies it separately from all other computers and devices (printers, routers, switches) on that same network. This is also true of anything connected to Internet as well.
