Corey Kaufman was 15 years old when his dad dropped him off for his very first day of work for Accent. Turns out he needed steel-toed boots to do the work he was assigned, stringing cable at a client site. His dad, Marty Kaufman, owner of the company, had to turn around and pick him up and take him to a nearby store to get the footwear he needed to enter the construction site. Corey made sure that didn’t happen again and little did he know back then that this on-the-job training was the start of a learning journey that would lay the foundation for his future career.
Computers are an integral part of business environments today. They can also be expensive, so you want to make sure you’re investing in the right ones. At Accent, our clients often ask us, “Which computers should I buy for my employees?” That’s a great question. It can be nearly impossible to know if you’re buying what your employee needs, especially with all the options available on the market. Because we’re often asked this question, we‘ve compiled a list of the computers we often recommend. Although we chose these computers with peak business performance in mind, they’re also sleek, fun machines to use.

In a previous blog article, Marty Kaufman recounts the story of meeting with a business owner who was panicked and in crisis mode because of a cyber attack. If we could backtrack to the days, weeks, and months before the attack, we’d find that the business owner didn’t pay much attention to cyber security because he thought the odds of a data breach happening to him were low. As it turned out, the odds were higher than he thought, and it did happen.
Hackers are getting more sophisticated. As a result, the minimum security protections that businesses need to defend against cyber criminals have changed. Cyber criminals have advanced the technology they use to sneak in (or bust through) network doors, so the list of must-have cyber security basics has expanded. To have a fighting chance, you need a layered cyber security strategy. It might be hard to know what those layers should be if you’re not a technology specialist. You might even have a gut feeling that what you’re doing right now isn’t enough. So we’re here to help.
