"All we have of freedom, all we use or know — this our fathers bought for us, long and long ago." ~ Rudyard Kipling

Today is to honor the real people who paid that price - fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, friends.

They're the reason we can enjoy our lives today.

March 31st is World Backup Day. Do you have a backup of all your important files?

Would it actually work if you tried to restore it?

Take some time today to back up your important stuff - business and personal.

"Thanksgiving is more than eating. We should just be thankful for being together."
~Marcie

Give thanks for the meal, and for the family and friends you share it with. Remember there are those who have neither.

In Flanders fields, few poppies grow,
but crosses still stand, row on row,
to mark the place where young men lie
beneath trimmed grass and sunny sky,
so different from that long ago.

Since 10 November 1775, many thousands have borne the title of Marine, and the burden that comes with it. In their honor, Marines (and those of us who love them), celebrate 250 years of those who "fight for right and freedom."

Happy birthday, Marines!

Feb 15, 1946: ENIAC, the "first programmable general-purpose electronic computer", was dedicated.

6 women made up the original programming team.

Sure, there are more men in STEM, but ladies, that is not a barrier to you. Let no one stand in your way...least of all, yourself.

It's #SaferInternetDay! Find some great resources on https://t.co/ZnwMHnu3aq to help make the internet safer. And don't forget the 3 basics we all need to do:

- Secure Access - strong passwords & MFA
- Update All The Things
- Backup, Backup, Backup - and don't forget to test!

Merry Christmas!

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is ending, but cyber vigilance shouldn't be!

Hopefully you've taken time to check software updates, review your passwords and set up MFA. But what about phishing? Here's a short post on what to watch for and what you can do. https://t.co/ooRBzmnVUs

If you got hit with ransomware, you'd want to run away, too. The best ways to protect against ransomware are securing all accounts with strong passwords and MFA, keeping software updated, and staying alert for phishing.

And make sure you have a tested backup, just in case!

[Stacy Clements @StacyClements]

In 1985, most of us didn't have any passwords and phones were connected to the wall.

Now we have lots of passwords, but they aren't that secure & we carry little computers in our pockets. Use that phone to set up MFA to help keep your accounts safe.

Phishing is no joke. Do you know how to spot a phishing email? Or what to do if you get one? This article has some tips to help you slip the hook.

I recommend using a password manager (and don't forget to enable multi-factor authentication as well).
