Most businesses rely heavily on computers and networks to get work done these days. When your computer or network fails you in some way, that has a direct impact on your bottom line. In an effort to help you understand the risks associated with using these essential pieces of technology in your business, and help mitigate them, we are giving away a whole pile of consulting time in the form of free security assessments.

What do you get with the free assessment?

• 30 minutes of network and website security assessment by the nGenuity team of security ninjas.
• 30 minutes of discussion / debrief about any security issues identified.
• 20% discount on any IT and security consulting and support services through the remainder of 2009.
• No hassle or obligation to purchase anything. This is not a hard sell, this is a free service we are offering to improve awareness on network / website security.

I already have an “IT” person / company that handles this type of stuff for me.

Chances are your IT person or company is doing a great job supporting you, but what if that isn’t the case and you just haven’t noticed yet? What if security isn’t their thing? nGenuity already works with a few IT providers to complement the services they provide. There is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion from an expert.

Where do I sign up?

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. It gives all of us that are security focused the opportunity to spread some information about security and safety to others.

To do our part DC509 is putting on another community outreach event. This time it’s going to be bigger and better than ever. We have 4 speakers on the agenda this time, speaking on a wide variety of topics. To not put the audience to sleep, each speaker will have 15 minutes to speak and 15 minutes for Q&A. Please join us and show support for helping to secure our community.

Speakers:

• Aaron Howell – Phishing; Don’t take the bait
• Adam Baldwin – Building trust with website visitors
