IT Security Tip #27:
Start With The Basics!

You’ve heard the advice countless times before: you must have antivirus software and a strong firewall. However, in this day and age, there is more to the security “basics” than a solid firewall. What about the employee who inadvertently clicks on an e-mail on her phone from a foreign ambassador trying to move money to the US. She sees it’s a scam, but it’s too late…her phone is infected and now sending a copy of every outgoing e-mail to a Russian crime network. Have you trained your employees? Don’t open an Excel attachment called “Invoice” from someone you don’t know – trust me, they’ll call you if you owe them money. A single crack in your armor can open the door for network attacks. Get serious about locking down your devices, e-mail filtering and teaching your users how to not lose last year’s P&L to a crime ring by trying to help a Nigerian prince.

This Tuesday Tidbits series is one great way to keep your employees informed, but you STILL need a good AUP in place and training. If you’d like our help in creating one for your company, based on best practices, call us at (608) 755-1524. You’ll be glad you did.

Keyboard Keys

Shortcut of the Week

Shortcut To Select One Sentence In Word

In Microsoft Word, you can use a shortcut to select a sentence at a time. Press and hold down the Ctrl and click with your left mouse button at the end of the sentence you want to select or highlight.

Once a sentence is selected, let go of the Ctrl key. If you want to delete that sentence, press Del. You can also right-click the highlighted text to change its properties.

If you continue to hold down the Ctrl key after a sentence is selected, and click-and-drag that sentence, you can make a copy of that sentence.
