How many computers do you have at your company? One? Less than 10? Hundreds?

It is very important for you to realize that any one of them could expose your entire company and all your customers to attack.

Do you think your company and your customers are safe if you just keep your anti-virus protection software up to date?

Think again!

Although it’s obviously important to keep your virus software up to date, this can give a company a false sense of security. This small step is not enough to keep your goods out of the hands of the bad guys.

There are a few other things that you have to address, and failing to deal with them can mean disaster.

• Having up to date virus software does nothing if your computer is already compromised. And how will you even know if some or all of your computers are compromised? In fact, most viruses disable the anti-virus software immediately when they infect the machine. What good is being up to date when the software is disabled?
• Are you paying big money for insufficient virus protection? Don’t think that just having anti-virus software running means you’re protected. Furthermore, how do you know your employees haven’t accidentally disabled part or all of the virus protection?
• What sort of policy do you have in place to ensure that the computers are actually secure and what kind of policy do you have in place to ensure that things remain secure? Great anti-virus software won’t protect you from human error. In fact, it’s human error that causes almost all the virus infections.
• Are your people properly trained to understand the channels of attack and how to avoid them? The attack vectors change regularly. Are your people kept up to date on how to deal with the threats?

Security audits and employee security training are just as important as having good anti-virus software. It’s a lot less expensive to keep your people trained than it is to fix an embarrassing and possibly crippling security breach.

I’ve been asked countless times, “What caused the downfall of the Tech Industry in America?”

There are many things that have contributed to it and every one of them can be tracked back to government policies. The H1B and H2B visas are the biggest problem. There is a rush of software programmers and software engineers who are leaving the industry because there aren’t enough jobs willing to pay a fair wage. There is too much competition with foreigners willing to work for poverty wages.

Still, we hear Bill Gates explain how he can’t find just the right programmer for his needs if he can’t import a minimum wage worker from some back-water country. Is he lying or does not know there are programmers starving in America?

On top of this is the awful trade policies we have adopted. Countries need to protect their industries. That means restricting this abuse of slave and near-slave labor. No more Free Trade and no more H1B visas.

This site was originally envisioned as a place to find political issues relating to the computer industry. However, as the US government systematically destroyed the US computer industry, the blog became about all things political as everything political is related to everything else political.

Just-Say-Why solicits input from authors of all political persuasions, but there is an obvious abundance of Liberals that post and visit the site. Still, everyone is invited.

You can find pages and posts on countless subjects but you will find discussions on Financial Issues, just plain Political Issues, and Religious Issues. What goes better with politics than religion?

You can find fact-finding topics such as the distortions from the Scheels advertisement or the Harold Estes letter to the president.

If you fancy the thought of putting your political or religious ideas in print, feel free to drop by and sign up as an author. Thick skin is a requirement. Be warned.

Internet Security is not an issue to be taken lightly, even for the home computer. If you need experienced, professional help with your computer security, give us a call or leave a reply to this post.
