Security has become critical in our new work environment. Technology safety issues are vital. Especially working from home, outside the safety built in to working from an office computer.
We welcome Mason and Mary Landrum, co-owners of Nice Guy Technology. As a family owned and operated business they are proud to have served the central Ohio area since 2011. Their team has over 30 years of IT experience and several certifications.
In our new work from home environment, a huge issue is the challenges of making the most of our technology. What are the most frequently asked questions you receive?
We are always on the hunt for resources and tutorials to learn new programs. Or just to stay updated on what programs can offer. The Landrums offer up some great resource examples.
Technology safety issues include better and stronger passwords
All of us have to be particularly careful logging into employers’ sites. Malware is more prevalent. And we’re juggling several devices. We cover the nuances and myths around passwords.
The horror stories abound of someone being hacked. Or discovering malware on their computer too late, having their computer being taken over. Mason and Mary give us an overview of these worst case scenarios. Listen for tips on how to avoid them, and how to fix them.
