Conversation: IT Security - You Have to Take it Seriously

4/11/2005

Michael Dees, IT Security ExpertInformation technology security expert Michael Dees gives a great presentation about IT Security issues important to small businesses.

Michael’s company, eSecurity Direct, helps small and midsize businesses manage their technology infrastructure. They specialize in helping offices with as few as 5 computers, all the way up to locations with several hundred computers.

He manages to achieve an awesome feat: make IT security interesting. I was so engrossed in his talk that I hated to have it end.

In addition to covering the basics about viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spybots and hackers, he also covered:

  • one-time use credit cards
  • protecting your information “Crown Jewels”
  • utilizing something called “Unified Threat Protection”
  • Michael also identifies the top four anti-virus providers. And he gives some practical tips for protecting your business and personal information.

    Michael himself has many years of experience providing technology infrastructure and security solutions to some of America’s largest corporations. He has been a guest lecturer at the Weatherhead School of Management and a featured presenter on the U.S. Secret Service-sponsored Northern Ohio Information Technology Roundtable (NOITR).
