Company Computer/Network Security

All, with Ransomware/Cryptoware infections continuing to rise, I just wanted to send out this email as a preventative measure to take in the event your computer were to get infected.

If you ever see a pop up (see attached examples) on your computer or for that matter a computer you see in someone’s office that’s unattended, please follow these steps immediately:

1. Before even contacting me, hold down the power button on your laptop or tablet until it shuts down..make take 3-5 seconds to power off completely.
Don’t worry about trying to close any open files/programs just power off.

2. For safe measure if you have a yellow/blue ethernet network cable attached to your computer unplug it as well.

Even with our multi-layers of protection via our firewalls, email filtering, internet browsing, anti-virus and endpoint protection nothing is 100% full proof as it seems almost daily new breaches are reported in the news.

Thanks everyone for a secure 2018, let’s all do our part to make 2019 another secure year for P.J. Hoerr, Benchmark Cabinets and Summit Masonry.
