Intro

LairNet Communications is devoted to satisfying a need that has been identified over and over again with small businesses. Many small businesses are in business because they make something very well or perform a service that nobody else does. Often times though, in order to make a business out of their product or service, they need to rely on computers and technology.

This can be a daunting task, especially if the product or service of that small business does not remotely touch computers or technology. If you are a small business, you can't afford to hire a department of IT geeks to be on staff, especially if you are facing a cost of equipment alone. That's where LairNet Communications can be of service. Whether you just need a basic network set up so you and your co-workers can have email to communicate with clients, or if you want to learn more about the latest in cyber threats and how they may affect (or target) your organization, we can help.

About

LairNet Communications was formed in 2004 to meet the needs of friends and colleagues who had questions and issues about their computers but did not have a reliable IT department to rely on. The focus at the time was building computers and fixing issues related to viruses or failures in the computers. As the internet and networking became more popular, configuration of home networks and securing the networks was added to the portfolio.

As the first decade of the 21st century came to an end, LairNet Communications focused on what will become larger issues to solve. Cyber Security is already a big deal for larger companies, but once again small businesses are left playing catch-up to technology that keeps running away. LairNet Communications is dedicated to helping small businesses become aware of the cyber security threats that are out there, and what they can do to mitigate the risks of these threats in order to continue to grow their own businesses.

At the heart of LairNet Communications, is Michael Hennick. He has dedicated his career to harnessing technology to make it work for him and his employers to meet their needs. He has demonstrated his abilities by acquiring industry certifications such as CompTIA's A+ and Network+ certifications in the beginning of his career, to getting EC-Council's Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and (ISC)2's Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP). He maintains memberships with the Information Systems Security Association and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He also participates in the FBI's Infragard program to help share security information between goverment and private agencies.

Cyber Services

Are you worried about viruses or malicious emails infecting your equipment, leading to system downtime or information loss? Do you need to make sure your employees are aware of the dangers of opening emails from unknown senders or surfing the web without keeping an eye on what they click on?

If so, LairNet Communications can help.

We can also provide incident response capabilities if you feel you are infected in some way, or have been notified that your systems are being used to perpetrate malicious attacks.

In addition to reacting to a cyber security incident, LairNet Communications can provide pro-active risk assessments to your organization such as performain a simple Security Posture Assessment, a more in depth Vulnerability Assessment, or a full fledged Penetration Test. Not only will we identify risk areas that need to be addresses, but we will also provide recommendations for the solution and not leave you left wondering how to fix the flaws.
