Windows 10 and MORE Security

Well October is Cyber Security Month, and we are going to try and write as many stories as we can to help celebrate this extremely important topic for Technology.

To start off the month our first story is about a program that one of our Help Desk Engineers created.  For some background into the story  NSK Inc helped a client get through a planned security audit to find better ways to keep their networks, employees and clients secure.  As part of the follow up they asked NSK to create a patch that would lock down the user accounts and restrict them from running certain applications that were not deemed acceptable for work, or that could pose a security threat.  NSK’s Help Desk Engineer Nick Seratt took to the challenge and created this specific patch for our client.  Below is an interview with Nick on how he created this small patch for our client to help them with cyber security.

Whether protecting self-driving car safety or  state election systems, cyber security is more important than ever. According to a recent report by IBM, there were 64% more security incidents in 2015 than in 2014.

Cybersecurity is a pressing issue for businesses, today perhaps more than ever. With ransomware and email phishing running rampant it’s critical to have a program in place to protect your businesses’ data. There are a lot of options to choose from and for this post I researched four different security companies and compared the services they offer.

Mark Zuckerberg was back in the news recently when word got out that his Twitter, Facebook and Linked-In accounts had been hacked. While there is something ironic about the CEO of Facebook having his own Facebook profile hacked, there is also something very concerning. If one of the biggest names in tech can have their personal information stolen, what’s to stop it from happening to the rest of us?
