Some folks working as administrators were assigned basic IT tasks like password resets, purchasing software, resetting servers, and other configuration changes based on direction provided by someone else. Unless they were trained in all things IT, they probably started asking questions, such as, “What’s the purpose of this? What if we did this instead?” They started acquiring “IT analyst” skills with collecting requirements and identifying other ways to solve the problem, but oftentimes they needed the services of IT experts. This business practice event will help, if you’re new to tackling basic IT tasks, or if you’re looking for best practices and consideration. We’re bringing the expert to you! Join us on Sept. 15 to spend an hour with the incredible Jesse Norling, the President/CEO of Computer Service Corporation. He’ll cover:

• WIFI employee networks, spam email blockers and how to identify spam, sending zip files, and 2-factor authentication
• Recommendations – options ranging from satellite to dedicated fiber and everything in between, safe password apps, home office (routers, webcams, servers), Network Power Switch
• Cybersecurity, and the types of threats you should be worried about
