We have made some changes to our news letter and we think you’ll enjoy it! It has been 20 years since we first opened our doors and our core beliefs were always to take risks. To mark this milestone we wanted to do something fun. Of course this is not a gimmick. We just want to make sure that you understand the importance of security, so we developed our top list of security offenders. Our motive is not to offend, but to make awareness that these breaches are regular and recurring. Please don't end up on our list, instead inquire about products that may be able to solve your issues! On the serious note, thank you for all your support over the years. The 20 year mark is a milestone and we are looking forward to another 20!
