Welcome!
Just a few years ago before the Internet, the worst that could
happen to your data was a hard disk crash without having a current backup.
Like this rock climber, the risks were simple and clearly defined.
Today, the picture is profoundly different.

Now, the sheer
intrusiveness of viruses, spam, parasites, rogue wireless access
points and Instant Messaging on almost every PC is making it
a constant struggle to secure your
network.
Unfortunately, there is no permanent
'fix' for information security; only a continuous process of
adaptation. In the movie, 'The Legend of Bagger Vance,'
golf is described as a game that cannot be won, only played.
Information Security is like golf, but even harder. The rules
of golf change rarely; the rules of Information Security change
constantly. This 'game' is called Risk Management, and is a
tradeoff between the proactive costs of security technology vs. the
tangible (and intangible) costs of security breaches.

Risk
Management Lifecycle
The most
expensive strategy for dealing with Information Security is the 'break/fix'
model. This is often associated with the infamous
'do nothing, then over-react' model.
The least
expensive strategy is to proactively measure, manage and monitor your risk
triggers.
We can help
you either way, but we would rather help you save money and spend more time
at home.
