The presentation was share by UPJ & Eagle Ridge Industries. Dr. Jeff Sernell VP of Information Technology, began the presentation by stating there are two types of business: those that know they have been hacked and those that don’t. He continued discussing various internet dangers. Companies need to be proactive rather than reactive.
Matt Sernell, President of Eagle Ridge Industries continued the presentation discussing wireless services. He stated no one should use default factory settings. These are too easy to hack. When enabling wireless security use WPA or WPA2 and pick a phrase or sentence for your access key. The goal is t make the hacker not want to spend time trying to hack you. A smart decision is to have your backups on two different types of mediums and in two different locations. Finally, it takes 10 minutes to crack a 6 letter lowercase password but 44,530 years to crack a password that utilizes two additional characters such as special characters and numbers and a few uppercase letters.
