NOVACOAST, INC.
WICHITA, KS

Novacoast began in 1996 as an expert services group focused on customers in Southern California. Launched by a small group of engineers with a vision of an IT professional services group built on a foundation of talented engineers and partnerships based on a careful selection of best-of-breed technology. Early on, Novacoast worked to create an infrastructure for a group that would be able to grow into a comprehensive business resource. After many early years of growth and diversification of services, partners and markets, the launch of an in-house application development team in 2001 began Novacoast’s expansion beyond the standard spectrum of technical services. While growing its offerings, however, Novacoast has nevertheless continued to base its perspective and approach on the services model of adaptable problem solving. After weathering the burst of the dot-com bubble at the turn of the last decade, Novacoast has experienced constant growth, continuing to nationally expand beyond Santa Barbara; and in recent years, Novacoast has also expanded its offerings to include Product Fulfillment, a growing and multifaceted Managed Services practice and comprehensive Staffing Services. In little time, Novacoast has grown into a full service consultancy that has developed experience, tools and relationships that increase efficiency, bolster security and deliver stronger control to networks in every industry. We are Novacoast A uniquely positioned IT services and solutions company, Novacoast is less defined by our broad range of expertise and services than by a perspective rooted in our cooperative environment of adaptable problem solving. similarly breaks the isolation between different user applications, completely circumventing process-level permissions. User permissions lose all meaning at the arbitrary system memory level. Microsoft rushed to address these bugs, and came up with a new patch on January 3rd. What I found on Tuesday morning when I set about updating the workstation images for Novacoast’s Imaging Service, though, is something a lot more disturbing from a security point of view. Microsoft’s solution to keep their patch from destroying computers is this: if you have a machine whose antivirus is not up-to-date, the Microsoft patch just won’t show up on that machine. There will be no sign of it, you will have no way to access it. For now, the only thing to do is to wait until your Anti-Virus manufacturer patches its product. And if any workstation is running without an Anti-Virus solution, you will likely be left out of the loop of future updates as well unless you manually set the registry entry. For most businesses, running the necessary security experience for ongoing analysis and reaction is impossible or impractical.
