Some closets are scarier than a movie. Can you tell what plugs into what? Neither can anyone else.

When cables aren't labeled, nobody knows what's safe to unplug. The fix takes an afternoon. Label both ends of every cable. Write down where each one goes. Keep the list where the next person can find it.

Could someone else trace your closet?

Happy Halloween.

Phishing doesn't take Halloween off. Training once a year is a checkbox. In our view, short and regular beats long and rare.

That looks like a few minutes at a time, simulated phishing messages, and reports on who needs help. We offer security awareness training.

The scariest words in IT: "I thought you had it."

Two people each assume the other one owns it. Certificate renewals. Domain renewals. Backup checks. Removing accounts when people leave. Software updates.

Unowned isn't unwatched. It's unwatched until it breaks.

Happy Halloween. The complimentary 30-minute IT Reality Check finds the jobs nobody owns. No system access. No obligation.

If it's in the cloud, is it backed up? Your cloud provider keeps the service running. A backup of your data is a separate thing. Deleted something last month? Can you get it back?

A cloud backup gives you:
1. A copy kept outside your main account
2. Email, files and calendars covered
3. Restore of one item, not only everything

We offer a cloud backup service for business email and files.

FAIL in red. PASS in green. This is a memory test, a tool that checks a computer's memory. We use it when a computer crashes, freezes or restarts for no clear reason.

The top screen shows errors. The bottom shows none. Memory errors can be intermittent, so a short test can miss them. Let it run for hours, not minutes.

Random crashes aren't always software. Sometimes it's the memory.

The filter that came with your mailbox is the floor. It catches the obvious. Targeted phishing is written to look ordinary: a normal sender name, a normal request, a normal workday.

A dedicated email security layer checks links and attachments before delivery, helps catch messages that impersonate your people, and holds suspicious mail for a person to review.

One company's last 30 days with that layer in place: 198 fraud messages held back, 154 of them phishing.

We offer an email security solution for exactly this.

Our monitoring flags software with known security problems on client computers. Often it's a program that came along with something else. Nobody picked it. It's still running.

A vulnerability scan report shows what that looks like: a gaming service, a meeting app and Java, each with known security problems. You can't update what you don't know is there.

Start with an inventory. List every computer. List what's installed on each. Mark what's out of date. Name who updates it.

Where do your shared passwords live?

A spreadsheet. A sticky note. One person's memory. Shared logins end up wherever it's easiest.

A password manager gives a team one secure shared place, access you can remove in minutes when someone leaves, and a different password for every login.

We deploy a password manager for clients who want this handled.

Ask us about password management. Link in the first comment.

A company's server crashed to a purple screen.

After the crash, we pulled the server's management log. It showed memory errors on one module the day before, with a message to replace it immediately.

The warning was in the log a full day before the crash. It needed someone reading it.

Who's reading the logs on your servers? The complimentary 30-minute IT Reality Check asks that question about every system. No system access. No obligation.

Label the jack. Label the device.

Here, a Wi-Fi device is mounted on the wall and plugged into jack 35.

When that number matches the label on the device and the record in the documentation, the next person can find it in a minute. Without it, they're guessing.

Labels cost almost nothing. They save the most time on the worst day.
