Portland Internetworks

The temps in Portland are cooling down, but the security scene just keeps heating up! ?????? On December 5th, we're teaming up with TD SYNNEX & Microsoft to get you out of drizzly Portland down to sunny Gilbert, AZ as we dive into the latest Microsoft security solutions. We'll ditch the puffy jackets, roll up our sleeves, and get hands-on with attack simulations, walk through how to level up your security with M365 Copilot, and dive deep into the some of the most effective security tools from Microsoft including Defender XDR, Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, and more. If you're charged with the data security of your organization, this one's for you! And, so you can focus on what really matters, travel's on us — both costs and coordination. (Yeah, it's really that simple!) Learn more and register right here: https://lnkd.in/ghd-yGFr

While we’re huge into tech, we’re also all about keeping things healthy—for you and your devices! ???? If you’re like us, you probably spend several hours staring at screens throughout the day. Unfortunately, this can really strain your eyes and mess with your sleep—but rest assured, you’ve got options! Turn on dark mode, enable a blue light filter, or grab a pair of blue light glasses for extra style and protection. Your eyes will thank you—and so will your future self! #TechTips #HealthyTech #EyeCare

Here’s to good food, great company, and a team that feels like family.?? #TeamThankful #Friendsgiving

November is here, which means it’s officially Gratitude Month! And, what better way to celebrate Gratitude month than by celebrating three amazing PDX-iversaries? Join us in applauding Paul Nickila, Samantha Finlay, and Alec Trout for their dedication and the incredible milestones they've reached—eleven, four, and three years with us, respectively! Eleven years ago, Paul joined Portland Internetworks as a part-time service technician, quickly proving his talent and versatility. Today, Paul is our trusty Sales Engineer, dedicating his support to our clients with all their technology and infrastructure needs. From troubleshooting to recommendations, Paul’s expertise has been a huge asset. If you ever need to talk shop about your setup, Paul’s your guy! If you've ever given us a ring, there's a good chance you've spoken with Sam! Celebrating four years with us, Sam has grown from being our friendly dispatcher, to an essential part of our project management team, and now, stepping up as our full-time Help Desk Manager. Sam ensures that your calls are answered and that our client needs are met with efficiency and care. Be sure to give her a warm PDX thank you next time you get in touch! As for Alec, who’s now celebrating three years, he’s recently taken on a new role as Senior IT Systems Engineer! From troubleshooting complex server issues to installing access points and firewalls, Alec’s technical expertise and dedication keep our clients’ systems running smoothly. With Alec by your side, you’re always in good hands. Happy PDX-iversaries to all! Thank you for your hard work, passion, and everything you bring to the team! ??

As the November leaves fall, we're raking in good vibes with some incredible client feedback! Welcome back to Feedback Friday! A huge shoutout to Matt, Andy, and John for brightening our week and making our clients feel right at home. And to our amazing clients—thank you for fueling us with your feedback! Here’s to wrapping up the week with gratitude. Happy Friday and enjoy the weekend! ?? #FeedbackFriday #ClientAppreciation #PortlandMSP

We've got a mid-week tech tip coming at ya! Eyeing the download button for a cool new app or software you just found online? Hold your horses! Not all downloads are created equal—if it’s not from a trusted source, it could be a one-way street to Malwareville! ?? Stick to reliable sites, avoid sketchy links, and double-check before you click 'Download.' A few extra seconds can save you from headaches (and malware) later. Stay smart, stay safe—happy downloading! #PortlandMSP
