General Networks is proud to announce that we have been named as one of the top providers of business services in the world by Clutch! We are also excited to say that we have been doing well in a few of Clutch’s more competitive categories, their rankings of the best Microsoft Office 365 consultants, Microsoft SharePoint consultants, and OpenText ECM consultants.

We deliver technology consulting services for customers who need to manage and process critical business content. We bring together business strategy, specialized application expertise, and creative and technology professionals to solve business problems. We help our clients create effective solutions for automating any document intensive business process, from simple electronic libraries to complex document assembly and workflow. Our depth of experience reduces the time and risk of implementing IT solutions.

Clutch takes its reviews seriously, conducting phone interviews with a company’s past clients and getting honest feedback on the quality of their work. These reviews can all be found on our Clutch reviews page, but we wanted to include some of the nice things our clients have said about us here.

“I appreciate their ability to summarize information and suggest actionable solutions.” – IT Director, Research Center

“They are very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly and easy to work with. We’re very happy that we found them.” – Administrator, CF Kent

“General Networks’ responsiveness and accessibility sets them apart; we’ve had a harder time getting prompt support from other providers.” – Vice President, Real Estate Firm

We were also ranked as one of the best ECM consultants by Clutch’s sister site, The Manifest. We were featured for an email migration we performed for a large scale research group in California.

We are honored to receive this recognition. We do everything we can to help our clients succeed, and knowing that they appreciate our work so much is incredible. We will continue to improve and innovate, always keeping our clients ahead of the curve.

The Problem With Passwords

by Jonathan Brown / on April 28, 2019 / in Cyber Security, Office 365, Uncategorized, What's Hot

Microsoft is now saying passwords are not good security.

What is the problem?
1) People will write down passwords if they are too complex.
2) Hackers have great tools to get uninformed people to give up their passwords unintentionally.
3) Even the best passwords can be hacked.

What are the solutions?
1) Stop forcing passwords expirations and replace with a password manager (LastPass, Keeper Security, etc.).
2) Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on all services.
3) Setup Single Sign-On (SSO)
4) Use bio recognition as a factor for MFA (Finger Print Reader, Facial Recognition, etc.)

Get the security add-on
Enterprise Mobility and Security (EMS). EMS can protect Office 365, G Suite and traditional on-premise Windows Server solutions (RDS and File Sharing). Bundled in you get not only the feature above but Mobile Device Management, Managed Antivirus, email and file encryption, and many other security solutions. You can do some truly amazing things with EMS like firewall corporate data from personal data on BYOD devices.

Get fingerprint readers for mobile devices. USB fingerprint readers are available for under $50. There are even Bluetooth fingerprint readers available that can protect not only computers but corporate data on mobile devices (phone and tablets) when used in conjunction with EMS.

Of course, General Networks Corporation (GNC) is here to help with engineers trained on deployment of multiple security tools and training options.
