My husband's firm has been the victims of a ransom cyber attack and they now are thinking about changing their security people for IT (their IT people are having trouble coming up with good backups, ugh)- so anybody have any recs for good geeks who work NYC and environs? (Is this you?)

One of my oldest friends: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dballing probably has contacts who can help; ping him through LinkedIn or via me (wenchita at gmail) and tell him Ali sent you. :-)

Not in NYC, but we use Carbonite business for both server and laptop backups (desktop users should be saving to the server), and it's GREAT. Set-and-forget remote backups.

Oh HEY - thanks. That's--this is one that they were considering!

Not sure how large your husband's company is, but I know we tend to bring in Sayers for consulting services when our IT guys want a second opinion about security (we house confidential datasets so if our system is penetrated, we have no more business). We've found them to be pretty good (if pricey). They have a Boston office, but no NYC office so not positive how useful they'll be: http://www.sayers.com/

D: How awful!

Totally irrelevantly, hey, are you coming to Escapade again? It was great to see you last year. Don't suppose I can tempt you into another interminable plane trip?

Eh, it's not the trip, it's the time of year with the snow and everything! We got snowed in last time and had to change flights and stay extra days and all that, it was sadly too much of a hassle for me alas. VVC in August though!
