Deep Freeze, Reboot Restore Rx, Shadow Defender, and Drive Vaccine. Needless to say their one man IT crew spends 90% of his day cleaning up messes users cause from viruses, accidentally deleted files on the network etc.Īn older thread but thought I'd chime in :) I've been using a few different programs that restore the computer. They didn't want to inconvenience their employees by making them log into their computers, or remember passwords for anything, or limit their access to what they want on the network, or stop them from enjoying their breaks if it entails doing who knows what on the computers.They seem to focus more on their users wants than whats needed to keep their business safe and viable.
A few thousand dollars and it was too much. Haggled back and forth on what the bare minimum costs would be to at least get a decent layer of security on his network. Pointed out all their current issues and went over what could happen due to lack of security. Workstations had no passwords, and anyone who plugged a computer into their network could access any file on their network. Their firewall consisted of the settings of on and off. I had one client, the company is owned by two brothers. No matter how big the family business gets they tend to go the route of they haven't had a major problem yet so just go with the flow. In my experience this is a painfully true statement. Family owned businesses are the worst place to be employed as an IT pro, no matter how many whitepapers, best practices or how much data you provide to suggest otherwise they won't get it. If you can't change their mindset, processes or get buy in from anyone in management then continue doing the break/fix jobs and start interviewing else where, the economy is picking up.
