1. We are experienced consultants with fulltime technical and managerial expertise in virtually every industry
2. We exist to help our customers, and help others in our field
3. We try to partner, or participate with sites that offer free services to others interested in making the IT field more secure (some are listed below)
4. We will try to give links, advice, tools, etc to those that want to advance the WHITE hat field of "Hacking" and although we do not endorse BLACK hat actions, sometimes the only way to learn is to be exposed to it. Therefore, you may be exposed to tools that are potentially very dangerous, but our intentions are not to have them used in that manner, so we cannot be held accountable for what you do with those tools
5. We WILL expose any blatant illegal actions to the Federal authorities (again, there is a fine line between learning security with good intentions versus bad intentions, but obvious actions will be reported)
We believe that there are many consulting sites out there for you to visit, and many are very worthwhile. Our unique mission however, is to utilize extensive experience with technology, business, compliance, security, and management to give you the best information in the manner you want it. We don't recommend technology to solve a problem, we look at the problem from the viewpoint of your business, we listen to you and your people, and work cooperatively to develop the best solution. Unlike other consulting companies, we will not throw bodies at your company, or flood you with a large team when it is not necessary. We are former management, we've heard it all from vendors ourselves, so we won't feed you the lines that you are used to hearing. And although it seems like a cliche, we do "connect" and partner with our customers, we do not want to be just another vendor. Hence the name "By Connection Only".
