Protect Your Biz From Cyber Attacks

Protect Your Biz From Cyber Attacks:

Mashable:

You may think that cybersecurity is only important for major companies, but think again. Small businesses are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks: Without the big security budgets of Fortune 500 companies, they’re seen as easy prey by digital information thieves and corporate espionage experts. And if you’re hit by an attack, you should be prepared to face a revenue loss of up to $10,000 (or more) if your website goes down in the process. That’s a lot of money for a small business to lose, and it can happen at any time.
How can a small business protect against cyberattacks and information leaks without breaking the bank?

Top 10 Things You Can’t Know

Top 10 Things You Can’t Know:



No-one can truly be a know-it-all, because quite frankly, we are not allowed to know everything. And the government makes sure of it; this is done via a series of secrecy and privacy laws which tend to differ from country to country, but largely remain the same. Of course it is our right as citizens to know as much as we can, to keep those government blinds slanted open by all means necessary (such as via the Freedom of Information Act – a.k.a. the best friend of any journalist stuck on the local government beat). While that may be, there are certain bits of info that with be unarguably sealed off and “For Your Eyes Only.” Here are ten of those best kept secrets.

Euro 2012 has the income and TV ratings to stand with the big players in world sports - The Washington Post

WARSAW, Poland — The European Championship begins Friday boasting the numbers to back its reputation as one of world sports’ elite events.
UEFA will earn commercial revenues of at least $1.6 billion for the 16-team tournament in Poland and Ukraine, rivaling FIFA’s 32-nation World Cup for average match value.

With each match slot expected to draw an average television audience of 150 million fans worldwide, Euro 2012 will bring a near-daily diet of ratings bigger than the Super Bowl.

Calculate: Is That Tech Investment Worthwhile?

Calculate: Is That Tech Investment Worthwhile?:
Everyone wants to use the latest technology in the workplace. Here's how to determine whether a new item will be a tool or a toy.
When your sales people come to you with the "We need to get ..." requests for new technology, what do you hear? Is it a request for a tool or for a toy?
Often, sales team requests for new equipment and software can sound like a burdensome and unnecessary expense. Recently, one executive said to me, "I don't need my sales people with one more distraction in their day–[they need to] get off the iPad and go sell something!"
Of course, tablets are just one technology being offered up to companies to support sales activities. Smartphones, apps, CRM systems, software packages–the list is always growing. So how do you get the most out of your investments in technology for your sales force?
Reasons to Invest
Here are a few ways to look at possible investment justifications:

• Productivity: It's about getting more with less. The smartest investments come at companies that have a clear line of sight to what functions they want to make better–and how much improvement would justify the investment. If I can see a cost-benefit improvement from one function that pays for the investment, I am inclined to give a green light. It's when I hear of a combination of several benefits, none of which can stand on their own, that I get skeptical.
• Speed: I love time, but I am an engineer's son.If you can show me that we save measurable time to get the same or higher activity yield, I am in. But I will want to see both measures–not just an implied improvement.
• Clarity: I recently watched a tour on a manufacturing line. The guide explained what the line did, then brought out an iPad and flipped through a very clear supply chain management process, showing how this line integrated into the bigger picture. It all came together right on the plant floor. The power of those few slides, delivered at the machine instead of in a boardroom, was extremely compelling.

Maximizing Value
You also want to make sure your team will be able to get an easy payoff from adoption of the new tools. A few factors to think about are:

• Immediacy: To see a faster payoff, integrate immediate training into the acquisition. I often see teams give out the device for a period, then train users later, after the users have "gotten used to the device." All that does is delay any expected improvement in performance. If you can't bring it all together simultaneously, wait until you can.
• Utility: How does the technology make the user's life better? For instance, CRM systems are often underutilized because the user sees only a burden; it's management that gets the benefit. Adoption curves go up dramatically when people see the benefit to themselves, so make sure new tools offer a payoff for users.
• Ease of use: Apple figured this out decades ago. Adoption rates go down if the device or application's design, connectivity and even power supply aren't easy to manage.

Confession time: I myself am a tech junkie. I've certainly bought my share of toys with dubious "productivity" justifications.
But when you're running a company budget, you need a strategy with performance clarity before you purchase the next must-have item.
