Cathy’s Corner – October 2017

From the desk of: Cathy Coloff
Subject: IT Radix is all treats and no tricks!

Magicians perform tricks of illusion and sleight of hand. And while we might like our clients to think we’re magicians, it’s no trick or illusion. Behind the scenes, it’s hard work providing superior IT consulting and support. Sometimes things go sideways, upside down, backwards or some other direction than desired. Where the magic comes in is how those problems get resolved—in difficult situations, we lean heavily on our core values of client first, teamwork and positivity. It’s not easy remaining positive under pressure, and yet our team does it day in and day out. It could be an entire network that’s down, having to stop what you’re doing because another client’s software is not working as expected, or some other issue. And yet, the IT Radix team handles each situation with tenacity and grace—working together to put our clients’ needs first. I’m proud to be associated with such a great group of people.

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month; and I’d like to think that with all the breaches, snafus, and cybercrimes reported in the news, people are aware. Thus, I’m always surprised when people seem unaware of the risks and the potential harm to themselves personally or in business through lack of cybersecurity. We are constantly striving to find ways to better protect our clients to ensure that they are not the proverbial low-hanging fruit for cybercriminals. As a result, we’re pleased to offer a new security service that helps monitor and identify potential security leaks that may have occurred on the “Dark Web.”

If you’d like to know more, give us a call…in the meantime, perhaps you can help me dream up a cybercriminal costume for Halloween just for fun.
