Computer Security
In todays world there are many devices such as computers, smartphones and tablets, that are all vunrabilites to virus produced by black hat hackers, for either feel interest or financial gain. Do not underestimate your home or business network security! Generally a computer, smartphone or tablet can be infected with malicious software before it even leaves the shop you purchased it from. Virus detection software is only useful for reported viruses, and therefore any new virus (aka zero-day virus) can quiet easily go undetected by your virus detection software. We are able to secure various operating systems such as Windows, Apple, iOS, Android, BSD, Linux and Unix. We have been doing computer security since the 1990's.

What is a firewall?
Well wikipedia says:
"A firewall is an integrated collection of security measures designed to prevent unauthorized electronic access to a networked computer system. It is also a device or set of devices configured to permit, deny, encrypt, decrypt, or proxy all computer traffic between different security domains based upon a set of rules and other criteria."
When using the internet a firewall is a must!
Computer Virus Removal
We hear about computer viruses all the time. Most people think of a computer virus as a computer with poor health (e.g. running slow). But that is just one symptom of what is really going on.
Computer viruses are malicious software, which can be used by black hat hackers to install:
- Spyware - allows monitoring of your behaviour and keystrokes.
- Worms - allows the virus to spread to other electronic devices (e.g. computers, smart phones, tablets, etc).
- Trojan Horses - allows the virus to sit dormant, until a hacker needs to use your computer for various malicious needs. Please note: the hacker could be either human or an automated software program (aka bots).
It should be also noted that computer virus are not just limited to your personal computer, they can infect your smart phone, tablet and just about any electrical device you can think of.
While virus detection software is useful, it doesn't detect every virus. If a new virus is released onto the internet today (aka zero-day virus), then your virus detection software will not detect it!
If you feel your electrical device has a virus (maybe its running very slow?) then contact us today to allow us to diagnose the device, and remove all viruses found. We would also provide a howto for future use of your electrical device, to ensure you limit (or remove) the chance of being infected again.
Computer Spyware Removal
Do you realise that most of the computers, smart phones and tablets you purchased, where most likly infected with spyware without the approval of the consumer and the vendor?
Spyware is used by black hat hackers (and in some cases corporate business) to monitor your behaviour on your computer, smart phone or tablet. This monitoring can be used to similar track what you like to do, which can be used to target products to you via web searchs, email or postage mail. Or even worse be used to log all your passwords and personally, such as your back account details, which could be used to debt your bank account, or similar to steal your identity for various financial gains in Australia or internationally.
We are very familar with this technology and therefore have many skills and tools available to find such spyware and remove it. Contact us today to get your spyware removed.

Wireless Security
Worried about your Wireless security? Did you realise that approximately 30% of homes and businesses believe they have secured their wireless routers, however they are actually very unsecure wireless, and can be hacked into in minutes.
Wireless intrusion occurs when a hacker is just outside your building or home, and gain access to your network via your wireless rounter. This allows the wireless hacker to:
- Use your Internet bandwidth for their needs (e.g. downloading large files).
- Monitor your wireless activity (e.g. what pages you are looking at on your wireless laptop, e.g. Bank Website, Facebook).
- Release a worm virus that could spread in your network and potentially exploit your Internet router, allowing external access.
Internet Security
We have all heard the stories about black hat hackers, breaking into big corporations and/or home networks. So its understandable most users are worried about the Internet and their online details such as bank accounts.
Securing your Internet generally involves protecting your personal and/or business network from:
- External hackers/viruses getting into your personal and/or network.
- Internal viruses that could then open up your network for external hackers to get in, via exploiting your Internet rounter. An internal virus could come from a visitor laptop that is infected with a worm virus
- Wireless intrusion that would allow hackers (located just
outside your building or home) to gain access to your network, which
allows the wireless hacker to:
- Use your Internet bandwidth for their needs (e.g. downloading large files).
- Monitor your wireless activity (e.g. what pages you are looking at on your wireless laptop, e.g. Bank Website, Facebook).
- Release a worm virus that could spread in your network and potentially exploit your Internet router, allowing external access.
- Educating users what tools they should be using and how to use them correctly, to avoid them downloading hidden virus. A hidden virus can come from visting a websites, download files, and reading email.
If you want to ensure you are secure from Internet "bad guys", please contact us today. We can provide consultation, interest security reviews/audits, which can be deployed to reduce (and ideally remove) the threat of Internet.

Computer Security Solutions for Cypress Gardens – Amazing Customer Testimonials
We worked with Luke from COLETEK to develop a prototype for a new venture. Luke was able to give us practical advice on how to execute the project inline with our budget that was super useful. What has been endearing, is that even after the build was complete, Luke continues to touch base with us offering help to keep the momentum of the project going forward.
Luke from COLETEK has assisted us on a number of occasions and has always been helpful, courteous and understanding of our needs. There was an instance when timing was of the essence and Luke was able to prioritise our job to ensure we weren't affecting our customers in a negative way. He is highly recommended.
In the development of our new product Smart Syphon we had a tight deadline to launch the commercial version of our product and experienced some issues with our drawings. Luke and his team dealt with the issues, worked through the week-end and delivered a quality outcome on time.
From an idea in my head to making sales nationwide and now worldwide. COLETEK were there every step of the way. The product was my first development so I had no idea really. With COLETEK offering privacy agreements and steering me in the right direction, it gave me confidence instantly. One thing that may seem irrelevant they questioned me about what it was I was trying to achieve and if in fact if it's even viable? That for me showed COLETEK wasn't in it just for my money. After some meetings and a couple of CAD drawings we had our first working prototype. COLETEK's knowledge and experience definitely made this whole process a lot easier. From CAD drawings, prototypes, liaising with suppliers in Australia and overseas - COLETEK done the lot. I'd highly recommend COLETEK!
Great prototype product made to our specs with minimal fuss. Delivered on time and within budget. Thanks team.
I would thoroughly recommend COLETEK they provided me with excellent feedback and engineering knowledge with regards to our idea. They also have continued to help us with what direction we should take and introduced us to other professionals that have also guided us. I suggest anyone who has been thinking of something they would like to pursue should contact them to get the most realistic approach of making it successful.
I consulted COLETEK for some work, commencing in 2014, and haven’t looked back. The project was very important to me, and COLETEK not only saw that but exuded sincere enthusiasm about the project; they are attentive, and thorough in their research and development service. They are a wealth of information and advice, for many aspects of the entire engineering and commercialization space, and this has been invaluable to me. I look forward to continuing work with them long into the future!
I engaged COLETEK several years ago to produce designs and working prototypes of 2 products I am currently developing as I was having difficulty obtaining what I required from overseas design companies. I have always found Luke easy to work with and having face to face meetings made explaining my concepts so much easier than endless emails. Design changes and modifications are always produced in a timely fashion and available for pickup locally.
Thank you for your recent help with my enquiry. I have been able to proceed with my project which was proving very difficult before I was fortunate enough to make your acquaintance. The help you have given me and the contacts I have made with your support has been invaluable. Thank you so much and I look forward to a long and fruitful association.
I had a technical design and prototype job I needed done and had contacted two companies in Brisbane before I discovered COLETEK. From my first conversation with Luke, I knew that he was the best person for the job and he delivered under budget and within the required timeframe. The device he manufactured for my company will save us thousands of dollars and it is highly likely that we will on-sell the device to similar organisations. I recommend COLETEK for any design and prototype work you can imagine for your business.
Luke has a very broad depth of knowledge across many engineering disciplines and has a large project base to draw experience from. I engaged COLETEK for assistance in some early electro-mechanical design for a hoisting system. They've been a great resource for helping develop ideas.
Our company has been working with COLETEK and Luke Cole for several years. Luke is very intelligent in many areas and has provided us with excellent designs and service. With the addition of a marketing section to provide brochures, packaging, etc. COLETEK is a one-stop shop. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend Luke and his company.
I'm in the early stages of my prototype design. I have worked with Luke for a couple of years now and in that time I have found Luke to be very reliable, responsible with my design, honest and trustworthy. What stood out the most was Luke's pride and commitment that he undertakes to ensure a positive outcome. I consider it a privilege to call Luke an associate and have no hesitation in encouraging others to do the same.
We used COLETEK on a small project involving mechanical and electronic design aspects as well as software development. COLETEK understood our requirements at the outset and worked to accommodate our needs. The whole process was professionally conducted and we highly recommend COLETEK
I have had the pleasure of working with Luke, our exceptional robotic product developer, over the past few years. Luke's expertise and professionalism have been pivotal in advancing our projects. Their innovative approach, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence have consistently exceeded our expectations. The quality of work and dedication Luke brings to each level of our project has significantly contributed to our success. I highly recommend COLETEK for their outstanding skills and unwavering professionalism.
Our dealings with COLETEK were pleasant and professional. Luke was kind and courteous and very easy to talk to. High quality design concepts were emailed through with regularity so that we always knew exactly what was going on. I would recommend supporting hard workers and local Australia business by working with COLETEK
Luke and the team do a amazing job. Extremly happy from start to finish
I can say that I've only dealt once with Luke Cole at COLETEK and I found him to be very professional and helpful with his assessment of my device. His expertise and suggestions with regards to my invention was great, despite my pedestrian review of it and what I was hoping it could achieve. In the end his advice was paramount in my final decision as to whether I would move forward with the development of a prototype.
Salita engaged Luke Cole to troubleshoot issues we were having with a drive motor system with a dynamic variance of torque and speed. After approaching no less than a dozen Australian supplier and engineering firms to provide a solution, and after 12 months of product design and testing, they could not verify why their recommended motors where failing and reversing suddenly. Luke undertook testing and analysis and quickly supplied information on the failures. Not only did Luke uncover a rare, uncommon failure but also provided a solution. The COLETEK team are our go to for the correct solution the first time, for all our electronic needs.
We engaged COLETEK to conduct a series of research projects on robotics and we very pleased with their technical skill, creative thinking and hard work. If you need to prototype a complex technical idea, they are a great partner to work with.
We met with Luke Cole from COLETEK and very quickly realised that he was very knowledgeable in robotics and prototyping. What separates his company from the rest, is that he had a unique value proposition - COLETEK offers a tele-operated / robotic unit for rent and with the flexibility to be modified to build proof-of-concepts. That unit lowered both the cost and time for us to produce a video showing a very challenging concept. In general COLETEK's service was great value. We would recommend them - they will get it done.
