April COVID 19 Update

April COVID 19 Update

First and foremost, we hope that this update finds you and your friends and family safe, healthy and secure.

At the one month mark of our decision to join thousands of companies statewide and shelter-in-place, we are still working primarily from our homes and assisting with client networks remotely. We’ve been incredibly excited to see how seamless and relatively painless our current remote access technologies have made the transition from on-site to teleworking for both ourselves and for our customers.

We are continuing to closely monitor the CDC recommendations and are staying committed to keeping our customers and employees as safe as possible, while continuing our efforts to keep critical systems running as normally as possible.

During this challenging time, it has been very heartwarming to see the outpouring of support, camaraderie and selflessness of our amazing North Valley communities, and we feel honored to be an active part of it.

If you or your company are still looking for teleworking or general network solutions during the shelter-in-place, we would love to share some of our success stories and implementations with you.

Keep safe.
We will all get through this, together

COVID-19 Update

COVID-19 Update

We want to extend a personal note to all of our vendors and customers to let you know how we, as a company, are working to protect our employees and customers. Health and safety remain our highest priority.
The plans we have in place are designed to ensure our continued service to our customers.

Effective immediately we will be limiting our on-site customer support to critical emergency only. All systems support will be done from remote sessions.

All Vista Net employees have been enabled with the ability to work from home and are strongly encouraged to do so.

We are committed to providing the highest level of service to our customers and will continue to strive to do so within this limited scale.

We will be reevaluating our positions weekly based on the recommendations of the state and local health authorities as well as the CDC.

If you have any questions regarding our temporary support changes, please feel free to call or email them to us.

SECURITY ALERT – RD Session Drive Mapping

Security Alert

We have experienced a very unique situation where using a Remote Desktop session to connect to a remote system that’s been infected with crypto malware can potentially encrypt files on the originators network.

We recommend that you have the “drives” option disabled on ALL RD session connections.

Without this setting disabled, the remote system can gain access to your mapped redirected drives, and will begin to encrypt the files on them. TURN OFF DRIVE MAPPING as a default setting for all RDC connections.

It’s simple to do, just follow these steps

From the “Local Resources” tab in your RD Connection window, click the “more” button.

Be sure to UNCHECK the “drives” option in the “Local Drives and Resources” window.

Make this change on all existing RDP connections, or save it to a file and use as your default RDC session connection.
