An interview with Office Manager, Lynn Ferraro:
IT Radix:  What motivated you to go back to school?
Lynn:  A college degree was the only thing missing from my professional portfolio—something that I always wanted to pursue, but never thought I’d achieve.

Brian came to IT Radix with an associate degree in History from Atlantic Cape Community College. He cut his teeth in IT at Chubb Institute where he received training in Data Center Support encompassing IBM AS/400, Mainframe, PC Support and Networking. With over 25 years of professional IT experience, Brian has worked in a variety of IT Manager and help desk support roles.

When It Comes to IT Security, It’s Never a Wrap
Loyal readers of IT Radix Resource know that over recent newsletters we have run a series of articles about Information Technology security. Each edition focused on a particular role within an organization—from the front desk to the C-Suite.

I believe one of my keys to success is a love of learning new things. I like to try new activities; read books; attend sessions where others share their insights, knowledge, and experience; watch TED Talks, videos or documentaries and more. We’re so fortunate to live in a world where the opportunities to learn are constantly expanding.
