Tip of the week

Keep your logons and security current.  If you keep a log by employee of system logons, as employees leave or transfer departments you'll have a list to deactivate these ID's.  But don't delete them - just change the password then monitor for 1-3 months for any unusual activity. 

What brings your accounting department to a halt? No electricity? Flu? Computer Problems? Take the most frequent “emergency situation” and get 3 creative people in a room for lunch to come up with 3 solutions to handle this situation.
