In a panic he calls us at the office & brings it in for us to see what we can do since we do data recovery/drive forensics as part of our disaster recovery offerings.

In the NINE YEARS he’s owned it, he’s pretty much done nothing to it except run it 24/7. Needless to say, the dust in the system was extraordinary & it took us roughly 45 minutes with a air hose at 140 PSI to get it cleaned out enough to remove the drive to see if we could get the data off.

Well the drive itself was fine, all things considered (the power supply was so caked with dust that there was no airflow & it died) & we were able to recover all of Steve’s data.

So as a thank you, he did this commercial for us…which we all couldn’t stop laughing over, & we hope you find it as amusing as we did.

Anchorage, AK – December 4, 2009 – Apex Logic announced today that it purchased Bullseye Datacomm, an Anchorage based information technology company. Apex Logic Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran Owned Business (VOB) as prescribed in Federal Standard 52.219.1 Small Business Program.

I’ll mention some classic ones here that will hopefully show areas that are needed to be looked at, if not closed outright.

• USB ports – Today a 4 gigabyte usb memory stick costs less that $50. Most people move their USB memory sticks from one PC to the next without concern for the fact that, as a recognized drive it is also vulnerable to viruses, malware and anything else you PC system is because it is recognized as a system disk just like the floppy days.
• CD/DVD – Again, as people move data from one point to the other many people believe that a CD/DVD is less susceptible to viruses and malware. Untrue, especially if it’s created buy another user.
• Internet - You’re probably saying “DUH” but many small companies do not monitor internet usage at their office, making them vulnerable to misuse by employees as they download programs, games or illegal software…
• Smart phones – Since 2004, there have been cell phone viruses! Really… Most smartphone users simply sync their phones constantly, potentially moving files that are secure to an unsecured device.

These examples are just that, examples. You should consult your IT professional(s) to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, anti-virus and patches are up to date.

Also have your IT professionals review IT security sites and publications to ensure that they are up to date on the latest threats to you organization

While we shouldn’t need a 3 day weekend to commemorate these efforts and sacrifices, Apex Logic wants to let you know that you are all heroes and we are proud of you.

Also, we want to reflect, remember and honor the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in protecting our freedom and liberty. They will never be forgotten.

On that note…

Regardless of where you stand politically on the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, we still have our folks over there doing a job, and our thoughts go out to them and to their families here at home for a safe and speedy return.

So as you enjoy Memorial Day…

Thank a Veteran, shake their hand, spend a moment to listen to a story or two. These brave men and women have more life lessons to share than we might give them credit for.

The same applies for us here at Apex. Slowing down to work on our own website has not been easy, but we were finally able to squeeze in some time and…viola!!

A new and improved site which we believe will allow you to navigate easier, thus allowing you to get to the information you need in a timely fashion.

So…thanks for stopping by and we hope you enjoy the new look as much as we enjoyed making it.
