People usually aren't worried about their information being found on the dark web until something happens. It's an immediate feeling of panic when you find out you've become the victim of a data breach and you're notified that your information has been compromised.

However, there are measures that end users can take to do their due diligence to safeguard themselves from becoming the victim of a cyber criminal on the dark web. 

Branching off of our topic of bitcoin from earlier, our IT expert, Jeff Groby joined the Guy Phillips Show to talk about blockchain. Jeff has been joining the crew over at The Big 550 KTRS to talk about everything technology for Tech Talk since the spring and each week, Jeff brings his "A" game. Jeff said that he stays on top of the latest trends by reading an astonishing 15,000 pages of technology information each year!

Sometimes when you have a problem, it's not always easy to see the resolution. Especially when it comes to how things are done in the office with technology. There will always be people who are willing to embrace change and people who prefer how things were done in the past. Neither of these people are wrong. But, the people who prefer how things used to be, may be surprised at how easy technology can make things. This scenario rings true to when it comes time to adopt an electronic content management (ECM) or Document Management solution for your office. Many common problems and inefficiencies can be alleviated by implementing safer, more efficient document workflows.

It appears to be a link sent via a Dropbox account and you assume, amidst your morning haze, that the link contains the pictures from your vacation. You click on the link and then… it happens. Your computer becomes corrupted. You've become the latest victim of a Ransomware attack. Well, what happens next?

Last week for Tech Talk on The Big 550 KTRS, we took our topic very seriously. Our IT expert, Jeff Groby, joined the show to talk about end-user education with technology and he fielded calls from our listeners.

Are you using the best practices when it comes to end-user security?

While it may not be the most glamorous title to win, it does come with a few really great perks! For the past two months, SumnerOne has been searching the Kansas City area for “the worst” copier.
