A new computer breach every 39 seconds

Your system has been breached. What do you do? FIRST STEP is removing the system from the network by unplugging the Ethernet cable, turning off the Wi-Fi, or turning the device off. NEXT, get an analyst looking at the device as soon as possible, but move quickly. The more time it takes you to get the breach stopped and isolated, the more at risk your data will be.

Real Talk Real Estate: Make your home shine with a little outside TLC

As the days get longer, now is an excellent time to complete a few home maintenance tasks before it gets unbearably hot outside. One of the first things you should do is clean out the gutters. The best practice is to remove all leaves, pine needles, and any other debris that has accumulated. We get a lot of rain in the spring, so you want to make sure the gutters and downspouts are not blocked. Clogged gutters can be the main cause of damage to siding, interior ceilings, and property

It has been almost two months since it was decided I would step down as Dean of Augusta University’s Hull College of Business and almost a month since my last day as Dean.  While I am approaching traditional retirement age, I was pretty sure I was not yet ready to retire.  I felt like I still had a good bit of “gas in the tank” but didn’t feel like the Dean position was the best way to use that fuel. While there were still rewarding aspects for me in that

Thoughts from the General: Teddy Roosevelt is coming to Augusta

All the way from Medora, North Dakota, the 26th President is coming to town. On April 10, he will be speaking at noon, at St Paul’s Church in downtown Augusta. Joe Wiegand is the performer–he looks like, dresses like, speaks like, and performs like the first president named Roosevelt. Ranked near the top of our very best presidents, Theodore Roosevelt can teach us much about decision-making, leadership, and long-range planning. Let’s spend a few minutes examining his life and legacy. When President William McKinley was assassinated in 1901, Vice President

About 2 years ago, we decided it was time to make a move. In all honesty, I didn’t want to do it! Being a realtor, I am intimately aware of the hard work it takes to find a home and move.

Coach David: 3 smart ways to build a healthy work environment

Fostering wellness in the workplace is just good business. Employees who feel respected, safe, and mentally healthy perform higher, are more satisfied with their jobs, and are substantially less likely to resign than those who feel undervalued, stressed, or burned out. It makes sense, particularly within the current labor market. The labor pool is much savvier than they were just a few short years ago. They value themselves and their time more. They feel a sense of control related to their jobs that were mostly lacking before the pandemic. And
