Keep the Bad Guys Out

It seems like there is a hacking or data breach in the news everyday. There are many more at smaller companies that we don't hear about. Small and midsize business can be easy targets because they don't have big budget IT security departments.

Protect yourself as best you can with multiple layers of security.

• Firewall
• Intrusion Detection
• Anti-virus
• Anti-malware
• Employee education

That last item is extremely important as employee carelessness or harmful intent are one of the biggest causes of security breaches.

Comspec IT can help with these and other security solutions.

A Little Tech Can Go a Long Way

I recently attended an event called "Celebrate Reading and Movie Night" put on by the Hui O' Momilani PTSO at Momilani Elementary School.  Having been a past chairperson of this event, I was very curious to see what new things they had in store for us.  This year featured a guest story reader from across the country in Illinois!  Jennifer Ward, author of "There was a Coyote that Swallowed a Flea" volunteered to read to the kids via Skype.  The tech staff at the school set up a large projection screen TV showing the book pages with a Skype window.  The results were fantastic!  The story reader was enthusiastic and the kids were really engaged.   In the past, we had the reader hold up their book or project the pages with an overhead projector.  The large screen projection TV and Skype made a huge difference in keeping the audience entertained.  It was a great night and a great application of technology.
