Box 189, Panora, IA 50216 SEPT 25 PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER FOR BUSINESS Take care of yourself, your business, and your community. We all know this is important, yet the fast pace of life and the multiple demands on our time can make it challenging to accomplish. Page 3 of this issue addresses the value of taking care of your community. You’ll find ways to Encourage Your Employees to Give Back as well as examples of how Panora Fiber does just that. On pages 4 and 5, there’s a Business Spotlight on Sapphire Skin Co. & Spa. With locations in Panora and Guthrie Center, owner Lexi Blakeley has built a growing business in just three years by helping people take care of their skin while they relax their body and refresh their spirit. Panora Fiber is thrilled to provide Sapphire Skin Co. & Spa with fast and reliable fiber internet, and we’re pleased to support this local small business. It’s Risky to Share a Wi-Fi Network With Other Businesses, as you’ll learn on page 6. This practice can expose your business to security risks and more, so take care of your business by maintaining a separate and isolated internet service and network. Continuing with the topic of security risks, we extend Congratulations to IT Technician Zach Davis on page 7. He recently earned the certification of Practical Junior Penetration Tester (PJPT), which focuses on giving beginners the skills and mindset to run a penetration test against a Windows Active Directory environment — to find weaknesses before real attackers do. What can Panora Fiber do to help you take care of your business? If you have concerns about IT security or need to upgrade your communications services, please let us know. Sincerely, Andrew M. Randol General Manager Panora Fiber
