Security

Gone are the ‘good old days’ when the only thing required for protecting your children online was to keep them away from adult site and monitor their Facebook usage.  Now you have to worry about online bullying, sexting, brand new social networks you have never heard of and more.  When a capable child is determined to do something on the internet, it can be almost impossible to stop — especially if they have the help of friends with less engaged parents.  Many parents would just like to have a fighting chance.

While nobody can guarantee to keep your children safe online, GeekCoaches can help you to fight the good fight.  We can identify the latest trendy apps and social networks and help you navigate them.  We can help you review any safety measures you have put in place and identify potential weaknesses.  When it comes to protecting your children, it is good to have as many friends on your side as possible.

Most people take few steps to protect their data until after experiencing a catastrophic loss.  GeekCoaches helps you avoid losing the contents of your computer should disaster strike. Hard-drive failures, lost or dropped devices, break-ins/theft, fires, major storms, electrical surges and viruses can destroy your treasured memories such as digital photos, financial records and work documents.

GeekCoaches can show you how to automatically backup your data on a daily basis, both on-site and online (in case something happens to your home).  We can also help you ensure your devices are protected with proper password strategies, remote data wiping/locking, find-my-device apps, firewalls, anti-spam tools and anti-virus software.  Furthermore, we can often show you how to implement these strategies with free software, and how to avoid significantly slowing down your systems or procedures.  Don’t wait until it is too late.
