    AUTOMATION can only go so far..

    Haveing a system that REPORTS THINGS for a human is great..And the human can ASK the right questions of the computers..

    Verify, the CLIENT is simple, old, and Advanced NOW.. Just cause someone has a name and password, means little…IF you cant Verify the hardware, IS SUPPOSED to be the one contacting the system.

    System TIERED security is easy to create…Tiered login, 2-3 part verification IS SIMPLE..

    TEACHING people to use a GOOD password is hard, but Inserting it into a PRIVATE BROWSER, is..
