CIO & CTO Resources

We cut to the chase. We give you the shortlist so you and your team can move fast and get things done. We’ve already done the research, the work, and the testing to save you time and headaches.

This list of resources has either personally been implemented or used by us or by close colleagues.

The list below is just a small subset of what we can recommend
(from services to software to data centers and more).

NetSkope

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Cloud Access Security Broker solution that directs all traffic from managed devices through their security cloud. Application takes minimal resources.

Disposal Services
Does the device you are disposing of have a hard drive (spinning or SSD)? Printers and other devices may have storage devices in them that if not wiped, may be retrieved by someone after it is thrown away. Ensure all staff and users understand that thumb drives, printers, laptops, computers, servers, network equipment, and more need to go through your disposal process to ensure all data is removed and the equipment is disposed of properly.

Documentation
Encourage your team to document architectural diagrams, configuration, installation instructions, and more. Empower them with the best tools. I’ve used Snagit for 20+ years and it greatly simplifies the documentation or course/tutorial process. Templates are a great addition to the product. Snagit allows you to edit screenshots including editing the text within a screenshot.

Use Snagit to create documentation or supplemental information for videos. Click the link below to get the Free Trial or Buy Now

Need to create training videos? TechSmith’s Camtasia is the go-to software for creating videos. You can do green screen videos, screen recordings, talking head presentations, or a combination of all these and more. You can post the videos to social media, YouTube, internally, etc.
