Face ID and Password
My wife and I bought new IPhones this past week. We finally gave up on our IPhone 6 & 7s. We enabled the Face ID option, after some thought. Although I'm not exactly on board with how secure Face ID is, I do believe it's more secure than that pass code as someone...
New Business Content
I've been silent as of late, namely because I've been wanting to change my business strategy. While I'll still providing consulting services, I've decided to focus on delivering more on-line content. This change will be easier on my work/life balance since...

Firewalls are a great way to "control" the environment. They do play major part in protecting any sized business and the home as well: Firewalls are know for putting a barrier between the internet and your internal network. You can use applications to block specific...

Privacy vs Security
I have two networks in our house. One is your typical internet connection. The other is covered by a named brand VPN Service. It's becoming more difficult using a VPN for day to day transactions. My brokerage account and bank now hang up when they detect a VPN. That's...
To go to great lengths – not really!
I went to Costco today to pick up an item or two. I passed by their gas station to check the line. It's notably cheaper there than any of the local gas stations, but the lines are normally long on weekends. The lines today were actually short and I was filling up...
Data Privacy Laws when dealing with international customers
Did you know that you may be subject to Data Privacy Laws when working with international customers? If you're doing business, or plan on doing business overseas (in person or virtually), with a customer overseas, it need to review that country's laws. Going one step...
