What is it, and Why is it helpful? One of the services we offer is called Proactive Prevention, and it can be a lifesaver in many ways. However, you may not understand how it helps.

Password Managers
What are they, and why should you care? One of the more recent additions to my lexicon of advice to – well, pretty much everyone – has been that Password Managers are king. While we typically suggest setting up LastPass, that’s jumping the gun a little. After all, it’s nice to know you should use it, … Continue reading Password Managers
Better Services for a Better Year!
As we celebrate the arbitrary turning over of the odometer from 2017 to 2018 (which, incidentally, has no astronomical significance – don’t believe me? How about Neil deGrasse Tyson?), it nevertheless provides us with a clean slate and a chance to change things for the better. Now, my New Year’s Resolution is nothing business-related (I’m … Continue reading Better Services for a Better Year!
Ransomware, and compliance
This week, a particularly hard job came up. I’m not talking hard just because I had to really think hard and dig deep to think of solutions (though this is true), but also because of the conditions the client was in when I arrived, and how they got there.

Who do you know?
I could start a new monthly email. However, not only do I dislike sending too many emails – after all, I’d rather you read my Alerts! more than anything else – but I also dislike following normal tactics. Besides, I’m already posting these here, so why repeat myself? The Announcement! piece of this is: I am now offering promotions every … Continue reading Who do you know?

Accessibility Software, and What It Can Do For You
As I’ve grown BH Tech Connection and begun to serve more clients, there has been a dream that, as yet, remains dormant. I love IT; I love computers, and supporting others with their computers to help them fulfill their dreams and their goals. As satisfying as that purpose is, there is a deeper layer which I rarely get … Continue reading Accessibility Software, and What It Can Do For You
Introducing New Consulting Audit Services!
In September this year, we learned that over 143 million people have had their personal information exposed to hackers, courtesy of poor oversight by Equifax. This spurred an urgency in me to step up my game, and to provide others with as much proactive guidance as possible in the aftermath of this breach. With both … Continue reading Introducing New Consulting Audit Services!
Worried about the Equifax breach? Me too, so here’s what I did
If you haven’t heard, Equifax announced that secure information for over 143 million people has been compromised. Most news stories covering this are calling attention to the 1 year of TrustedID Premier service Equifax is offering to make up for the fact that nearly half the country is at much higher risk for identity theft than … Continue reading Worried about the Equifax breach? Me too, so here’s what I did
If you have a LogMeIn account, this is for you
As part of my ongoing efforts to keep everyone safe and secure, I want to alert you to an increase I’ve noticed in the past week or two.
