We work with secure email, secure
instant messenging, and encrypted filesystems in Windows/XP,
Slackware
Linux,
FreeBSD,
OpenBSD, and
NetBSD environments. We may be able to
offer
support
and services for other environments but we don't have them installed
here.
Because of fundamental issues with Vista, we do not plan to offer any
services or products in that environment. We recommend that
security-conscious clients consider moving to
Slackware Linux or
FreeBSD as full-function SOHO
desktop systems which offer good combinations of security,
performance, and usability along with good application availability.
For people who need or choose to run Windows and still want a secure
platform, we offer
hardening services to
limit unnecessary exposure.
This involves installing a good application-level firewall, shutting
down risky or unnecessary services, and modify tuning parameters to
stabilize operation while protecting from internal and external
vulnerabilities. These systems typically benefit from increased
performance due to the reduced load.
We can
install and customize a
UNIX-like
FreeBSD operating system for
you. We can
install and customize Slackware
Linux which also makes an
outstanding secure and high-performance desktop/laptop operating
system. Lastly, we specialize in multi-boot setups for people who need
to or choose to run multiple operating systems on one computer.
