Chicago, IL - I sat in on a cybersecurity presentation by anti-virus/malware vendor Webroot. If you have not checked it out it is a good product that represents the next generation of protection in my opinion.

The slide deck had a few interesting graphic factoids I thought I would share.

Irvine, CA – We are in the office and set-up for operations at 7 AM tomorrow morning. We start the day off with a staff meeting bright and early.

I was in my office this morning and I got my PC set-up and running, printing, etc. At lunch I decided to kick my feet up on the desk and watch this unusual view I have all day long.

Alvaka Networks is growing – T minus 2 days

By |October 31st, 2016|Alvaka Blog|Comments Off on Alvaka Networks is growing – T minus 2 days

Irvine, CA – The movers finished delivering all our personal property from the old building. I got my basic office functions set-up tonight and my most important personal items put away. There are still some boxes to unpack and pictures to hang. Some others have done the same. Some offices are still dumping zones and in complete disarray. Most of that will get organized for tomorrow. There is the most basic semblance of an office system starting to come together. By tomorrow night is should be vastly better. We still plan to be completely operational at 7 AM Tuesday morning, but the unpacking won’t be complete.
