“Meltdown” and “Spectre”
“Meltdown” and “Spectre”
Yea, Yea, Just update your computer with Windows Update. It won’t slow it down very much. I bet you won’t even notice.
If you have not heard already there is a vulnerability in certain processors exploited by side channel analysis attacks (also known as “Meltdown” and “Spectre”). This issue also affects other systems, such as Android, Chrome, iOS, and MacOS. Therefore, we advise to seek guidance from those vendors. If you are still wondering give us a call. We can get you patched right up.
Enterprise Image Management: Sky-MDT
Sky-MDT is a custom flavor of Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. We designed this service to be single or multi-tenant and support all sizes of environments. The design is hub and spoke setup meaning we can manage everything from one central server for all other spokes. So no matter how large or remote your infrastructure is we can make it work for your needs.
Tired of mailing computers back and forth to sites causing a possible security breach? Maybe you’re mailing USB sticks with some huge bloated disk image? Got a remote site you need to be able to image computers at without being there? Whether it’s a on-premise server, a cloud structure, multi-domain, an old Dell sitting in the closet or we host it for you, we can make anything happen using Sky-MDT.
If you are using more than 1 image per OS flavor, paying to use SCCM or have multi-sites in any country, call us or click below to learn more. We can get you consolidated.

Cyber-crime
Cyber-crime is ever-encroaching and can happen to anyone. Including you and your business. In fact, it’s cost the global economy more than $400 billion, and it’s increasingly hurting smaller operations.
The problem goes far beyond the leaking of sensitive emails and sexy selfies. Targeted attacks against small businesses nearly doubled in 2013. And of the one in five that experience a cyber attack annually, 60% will close their doors within six months as a result.
But not you. Protect your business.
1. Be password-savvy. If your password is still “Password123,” it’s time to get serious. Create unique codes for each of your accounts, and make sure they’re at least 8 characters long (with a few special ones thrown in). Two-factor authentication is also suggested for items offering this option..
2. Encrypt emails and valuable information. If a hacker does breach your system, encryption makes it that much harder to get away with critical data.
3. Back up your data. Copying your key company data onto a cloud-based system, such as a cloud server (we offer this), or a USB hard drive takes minutes, and will save you time and anxiety if your system is ever compromised.
We are always surprised how many people aren’t concerned about their security. The “I’m too small, the hackers won’t bother with me” mentality is just incorrect.
They are coming for you because you’re small and they know you don’t have security like banks do.
