As Stan Lee would say, “Face front, true believers!”
Cybersecurity can be hard to digest, which is why we’re turning to lessons from cartoons to make very technical topics more accessible to everyone. Verizon estimates that up to 90% of data breaches trace back to social engineering related attacks, such as phishing emails and carefully crafted scams.
The opportunity to partner with our clients and provide IT Support to help them step into their full potential is a passion of mine at IT Radix. Over the years, we’ve watched one professional services and strategic planning company grow and branch out into a truly reputable consulting firm.
Is your business living in the Stone Age like the Flintstones of Bedrock? While it’s humorous to watch Fred and Barney get into minor scrapes and conflicts, we doubt you want your business to go through similar incidents when it comes to your business technology.
Our newest client came to us after she had purchased an existing business, an independent and owner-operated insurance agency. The agency was well established, having been in business for more than 30 years. A “deliberately” small agency, they pride themselves on bringing a unique level of experience, expertise and personal involvement to their clients.
No Need to Fear…IT Radix is Here!

At IT Radix we take pride in empowering our clients to have the greatest impact they can. A medical startup reached out to us with a great idea and a serious need for a custom IT solution. Since their entire business model was based around the idea of a virtual office, they needed their cyber-work environment constructed from the ground up; and they needed it done fast.
You might recall the 1992 song, “My Grown-Up Christmas Wish” written by David Foster and his then wife, Linda. Natalie Cole was the first to record this holiday standard, but it was Amy Grant’s version that became the big hit. The lyrics showcase an adult writing to Santa and asking for much more than material things: the end to war, friendship for all and love that would never end.
While you’re decking the halls, why not protect them at the same time! We talk a lot about business security and how the internet can spell trouble if the right precautions aren’t put into place. As we swing into the holidays this year with Christmas and the new year right around the corner, it’s worth considering your home network.
Few songwriters have enjoyed hits with two songs about the same character. However, Johnny Marks did. He wrote “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” a 1949 hit for Gene Autry as well as “Run Rudolph Run” a 1958 hit for Chuck Berry. Both were based on the fabled reindeer created for Montgomery Ward in 1939.
Rudolph suggests you avoid the “reindeer games” that hackers use in phishing emails sent to scam you out of your data and financial resources.
While the song “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” may evoke smiles and laughter, if it were your business being run over by a disaster, we suspect you wouldn’t be smiling. Getting backups and disaster recovery (DR) right can be difficult. Add cloud technology into the mix and the complexity can increase even more.
