TeamLogicIT of Mountain View: A Message From The President....

The IT industry is shockingly young compared to oil, transportation and some other industries, yet it may have gone through more variations than all the others combined. In the early 80s personal computers were stand-alone devices that through software and an operating system took over tasks previously done on pad and paper. Technicians were called on to repair defective units and keep them tuned up in much the same way the typewriter repairman had done in the past.

Enter rudimentary network operating systems and devices began to be connected to each other and to locally stored resources and data stores. In the mid-1990s the Internet exploded on the scene and made it possible for information to be shared across discrete disconnected local area networks.

The Internet is the most powerful communication tool of all time. We’ve recently seen its power in bringing down the regimes in the Middle East. Without Twitter and Facebook, the recent revolutions may not have been possible; revolutions that were a direct result of oppressive governments restricting their people’s access to information.

On the other hand, the Internet is a wild frontier filled with excesses that can pose a material threat to the ability of schools, libraries and businesses to provide safe, comfortable environments for the people they serve. These organizations are responsible for regulatory compliance as well as ensuring productivity.

According to a recent computer industry trade association survey, nearly 7 in 10 respondents indicated that the severity of security threats their organization faces is on the rise. 34% of survey respondents believe the internal security threat at their organization has increased and businesses stated that their greatest concern comes from departing employees having knowledge of logins, access points and other vulnerabilities.

Security is a continuous process for your business. It is not something you implement today and forget about tomorrow. At TeamLogic IT, our customers are asking us to help them understand their risk and build a security program that makes sense. This means we have to first understand their business and we do.
