Box 189, Panora, IA 50216 FALL 23 PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER FOR BUSINESS In this issue, we get to the meat of the matter. Data security is vitally important to every business these days, no matter the size or type. Panora Fiber stands ready to help protect your business with our many IT solutions. You’ll understand why we chose a meat-related theme after reading the Business Spotlight on Guthrie County Quality Meats on pages 4 and 5. This Guthrie Center business has been open for about a year and has been enthusiastically welcomed by local producers and retail customers. We’re pleased to provide internet, Wi-Fi, and phone services — and happy to have a new source for delicious meats to throw on the grill! Paul Brewster, Data/Combo Technician, worked on the Guthrie County Quality Meats project, and he’s the focus of page 5’s employee profile. The remaining Solutions for Business articles cover topics related to data security and other IT issues. When it comes to IT, One Size Doesn’t Fit All, as we explain on page 3. That’s why Panora Fiber offers tailored solutions. In addition, We Offer Free Cyber Security Training, and you’ll learn how to take advantage of this opportunity on page 6. Then on page 7, discover why Data Breaches are Costly for Small Businesses. Remember, your friends at Panora Fiber are dedicated to helping your business succeed. Please contact us with any questions, and after catching up on family news, we’ll get down to the meat of the matter. Sincerely, Andrew M. Randol General Manager Panora Fiber
