If you do not turn BitLocker on to encrypt your data, you will be getting a call from us to get you to turn it on.  
The process is very simple and takes less then 5 minutes to get it started.  

The simple steps are:
• Go to Control Panel > BitLocker Drive Encryption
• Click Turn on BitLocker
• Save the the Encryption Key or Print the Encryption Key
• Start Encrypting your drive

All MIS2000 database machines that are portable and go out into the field should be encrypted to help protect your migrant data as much as possible. Data on a lost or stolen computer is vulnerable to unauthorized access, either by running a software-attack tool against it or by transferring the computer's hard disk to a different computer. BitLocker helps mitigate unauthorized data access by enhancing file and system protections. BitLocker also helps render data inaccessible when BitLocker-protected computers are decommissioned or recycled.

Having trouble with your MIS2000?  Having issues with communications to upload your changes? Can't figure something out with the WebApp or Tablet?  Contact us and let us help!!

Alaska has just got through testing and setting up file sharing online using MIS2000 web services.  This will give them a better way to mange files that need to be transferred and shared between State, Regional and District users in a secure safe way.   Kevin wrote a detailed blog about File Sharing with MIS2000, click on the link to read all about it.
