We’re proud to have been involved and part of two of the most recent major projects happening in Downtown Halifax. Below is a photo of one of most recent projects that our team has been involved with this past year. The Old Discovery Centre in Downtown Halifax is in the middle of a beautiful re-build.

Today is World Password Day. Passwords are something we spend quite a bit of time reviewing with our clients when setting up new systems or software programs. Passwords are the first line of defense in protecting access to our finances, credit information, and identities. Among baby boomers, a reported 58% of people still dont use secure passwords, according to the 2016 Norton Cybersecurity Insights Report. And digitally native millennials are even more vulnerable. Passwo...rds arent foolproof, of course. Any determined hacker can get past them, just as a burglar can get past a locked door. But despite repeated warnings from experts, many people are still doing the digital equivalent of leaving a key in the lock of their front door. Here are a few tips: 1. When youre asked to create or update a password for a site, avoid simple patterns that are easily guessed. SplashData and TeamsID suggest you select something thats 12 characters or longer, using letters, numbers and other symbols. 2. While its certainly easier to use the same password on multiple sites, remember that doing so can increase your vulnerability. 3. Dont share your passwords. 4. Use a password manager since as LASTPASS. This will help you safely remember your passwords.

As the world responds to the outbreak of COVID-19, our thoughts are with the people affected and the medical professionals working around the clock to help those most in need. These words on the screen have never been more true. This photo was from a presentation that was given by us 4 years ago at the Cape Breton Partnership Investors Summit in Ingonish. No matter what your business is, there are ways to get connected with your potential customer or client online. It is imp...ortant to keep them updated on your business status during these times. Were proud to have helped numerous businesses throughout the province shift gears and work securely and remotely from their homes. This isnt a difficult or timely process, but is is crucial to have someone review your set up to ensure that your business remains secure and safe while working from a new location. While your employees in this new remote work situation will be thinking about how to stay in touch with colleagues and coworkers using chat applications, shared documents, and replacing planned meetings with conference calls, they may not be thinking about cyberattacks. This is something we can help you with. Working from home doesnt mean being isolated. Reassure employees they can be social, stay in touch with colleagues, and still help keep the business secure. Feel free to connect with us regarding any security questions that you may have.

Now more than ever it is important to try and protect your privacy from potential hackers, who now have a bit more time on their hands. In this article, Zincir-Heywood urged against sharing Zoom meeting links publicly on social media sites, as that means anyone can join. Moreover, she said the default settings of the free version of Zoom are set so that all participants can share their screens, which means anyone who joins the meeting can share their screen....
