Monday, February 11, 2019 Mobile Workforce and Security The benefits of a mobile workforce can be endless. Lower facility costs, workforce flexibility, increased responsiveness are just few benefits of mobility but with all the benefits there are potential pitfalls that need to be considered. Extending your corporate network increases your potential attack surface. Today’s modern mobile workforce differs from the past where mobility meant access some form of portal located in your corporate network. Your data stayed in your network but now it is much harder to control where your corporate data lives. One compromised phone not only creates an entry point into your network but your adversaries may now also have very important data. In a world of costly breaches additional steps must be taken to comply with the many regulations such as HIPAA. There are many threats to consider for smart phones and tablets such as malware, botnets, phishing attacks, device rooting or jailbreaking, and rogue applications. As a leading Managed Service Provider, Infinity Technology Services, is ready to help your company navigate the mobile workforce landscape. We have partnered with a leading security provider, Checkpoint, to deliver a modern, robust and effective mobile security solution. You will have confidence that your smart phone and tablet applications are safe to use. Our mobile security solution uses threat emulation, advanced static code analysis, app reputation, and machine learning to detect rogue applications. With real time risk assessments at the OS level, the attack surface of your mobile devices will be drastically reduced. To prevent your documents from leaking into hands that shouldn’t have them, Infinity Technology Services can implement a secure documents management system that has options to encrypt, protect and contain your critical business data.
Monday, February 11, 2019 Infinity Tech and DirecTV - How Are They Related? Not sure if you’ve heard, but AT&T has launched a new and improved TV streaming service called DirecTV Now. It aims to compete with competitors such as Sling TV in the live streaming space by offering more channels, more features (such as cloud DVR), and at a cheaper price. Netflix is also in the crosshairs with the Video on Demand feature, enhanced by the potential purchase of Time Warner. Exciting times for mobile video! What does this have to do with Infinity Technology Services? As some of you know, our founder and managing partner Jason Conley has been splitting his time the past year between Infinity Technology Services and the new and improved AT&T DirecTV Now datacenter right here in Mission, KS. “It’s definitely been a ton of fun.”, he states about the past year, “but I’m anxious to get back to really contributing as much as possible to Infinity.” When asked how he was able to perform both duties he replied: “I feel really fortunate to have what I feel is the best crew in the US on the team with me at Infinity. My role at Infinity is really to just set the guys up for success… and then get out of their way. It’s less of a boss/employee relationship and more of a comradery. Weekly I find myself correcting Dexton for calling me boss, but I’m certain he just does it for fun now. I like to consider myself a student of the craft and constantly strive learn more and more. When I was approached with the opportunity to help build one of the most exciting datacenters in Kansas City, I couldn’t pass it up.” We pried a bit more about the technology and here are a few fun things he helped build: • 1000+ servers installed • 20,000+ CPU cores • 100G Networking • 15+ networking device types • 5 fiber types • 18 automation scripts written (PowerShell and python) • 1.8Tbps Internet (That’s 1,800 Google Fiber connections) • 100+ PB of storage I know everyone in the office is excited to have him back to help keeping our clients HAPPY! If you’d like to sign up for DirecTV Now, they’re running a special where the first 3 months are only $10/mo. Check them out at https://www.directvnow.com/.
Friday, June 19, 2020 Two-Factor Authentication Two-Factor Authentication is an absolute must! Check out this true story how two-factor could have saved time and money. Imagine working at home all day 5 o’clock rolls around, you lock your computer, wake up the next morning login to check your emails and notice that someone had been talking back and forth with one of your clients and got them to send money to an account that wasn’t yours. Someone has gotten your email password, logged in as you and stole money from your client. These people leave you to pick up the pieces all because you didn’t have 2FA setup for email. Two factor works just like it sounds you must have two forms of “id” to login to your account in this case the two forms are username/password and your phone. We have a service that would alert your phone upon login ask if this was you asking you to approve or deny the login. So even if these people had your email password, they would not have been able to login as you. Chat with us or call us see how $5 a month can save you from this nightmare.
