WE LOVE

FARMERS! AGRICULTURE IS IN OUR VEINS. THE INDUSTRY THAT BUILT OUR NATION is the foundation that holds our rural midwestern communities together. Farming has come a long way since our founding fathers tilled the soil. There’s a lot to keep track of. There’s a lot to plan for. There’s a lot at stake.

We have the experience and commitment to agribusiness that can help protect assets and provide guidance and tax solutions not only to family farms, but also to cooperatives and corporations.

LET’S TALK AGRIBUSINESS.

Your mammogramcan’t-wait-partner About 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their life, and many women don’t have a family history of it. But the survival rate of breast cancer is actually 99% when caught early, which is why it’s so important to get your mammogram.

To schedule your mammogram, call 715-268-8000 or visit healthpartners.com/schedule

JACOB YOUNG Contact us today for more information on Vipre Endpoint Security! www.4thepoint.com 216 Keller Ave. North Amery, WI 54001 715-268-8159

Open Friday & Saturday 10 AM-5 PM Sunday 11 AM-4 PM Follow us on Facebook https://facebook.com/rubymaestreasures.com We look forward to seeing you!

We live in challenging and uncertain times right now and we hope you have been successful in educating your staff on the importance of having a secure environment in place for employees working remotely - their safety and the safety of our communities is the number one concern.

Unfortunately, hackers do not share this same sentiment. Cyber criminals are taking advantage of the current state of affairs and our security partners are seeing a rise in spear phishing attempts, malware embedded PDFs, Word documents, and ransomware - all targeting unprotected remote users.

Here's a quick customer check list to make sure the right cybersecurity measures are in place for your remote users: 1. Do you have a secure VPN set up?

2. Do all your company issued devices have Anti-Virus/Endpoint protection?

3. Are your employees using personal laptops/desktops, and do they have AntiVirus/Endpoint protection?

4. Do your employees have the right email security solutions in place to handle advanced spear-phishing and credential compromise attacks?

Please contact us if you require help answering any questions regarding the security of your remote users.

Sincerely,

The staff at Connecting Point Inc. 216 Keller Ave. North Amery WI 54001 Phone: 715-268-8159 Online: www.4thepoint.com
