 You
have auto and homeowner’s insurance. But what about your computer
data? The precautions needed to protect against disaster are like an
insurance policy. You may not necessary ever need it but when you
do, you’re sure glad that you have it.
1. Install
uninterruptible power supplies
This is the easiest thing you can do
to protect your hardware and data. I’m surprised by how many people
assume a surge protector suffices. But surge protectors only offer
limited protection against power spikes.
For a better and more
thorough protection, you need an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
A UPS isn’t intended to power you through a blackout. (For that you
would need a generator.) Rather, a UPS will let you save your work
and power down safely.

The Weakest Link in Network
Security
By Peter Alexander
Reprinted with permission from Microsoft Small Business Center

Your small-business network may be protected by
firewalls, intrusion detection and other
state-of-the-art security technologies. And yet,
all it takes is one person's carelessness, and
suddenly it's as if you have no network security
at all.
|
Let me give you an example. In March
2006, a major financial services firm with extensive network security disclosed
that one of its portable computers was stolen. The laptop contained the Social
Security numbers of nearly 200,000 people. An employee of the firm, dining in a
restaurant with colleagues, had locked the laptop in the trunk of a SUV. During
dinner, one of the employee's colleagues retrieved an item from the vehicle and
forgot to re-lock it. As fate would have it, there was a rash of car thefts
occurring in that particular area at that particular time, and the rest is
history.
The moral of that story is clear: No
matter how secure your network may be, it's only as secure as its weakest link.
And people--meaning you and your employees--are often the weakest link. It's
important to note that poor security puts your business, as well as your
partners, at risk. As a result, many enterprises and organizations, such as
credit-card companies, now specify and require minimum levels of security you
must have in order to do business with them.
So what can you do?

Important
Information
for customers with Enhanced Services
AT&T customers will
receive an insert with their June bill regarding
information on the Federal Access Recovery Fee (FARF)
and Universal Connectivity Charge (UCC). These
recurring fees will be assessed on the local access
component of Enhanced Services, effective July 1,
2008. Enhanced services that will be assessed FARF
include MIS and MPLS. Services that will be assessed
the UCC on the local access component include ATM
and Frame Relay.
Your contracted charges
are not increasing, but your total bill will show an
increase as the fees mandated by the FCC are
applied. The fee is based on a percentage of your
contracted monthly local access service amount, and
applies to customers of all service providers, not
just AT&T.
As always, if you have
any questions about these charges, please call the
Dynamic
AT&T
team at 785-354-7000
Business Continuity Seminar
On July 24th at the
CoreFirst Media Center, we will hold a Business
Continuity Seminar, including three facets: the
insurance needed, the Business Disaster Plan, and
finally, replacing all your equipment, phone lines
access, Internet access, and even your physical
location. Consider how long it would take to replace
your equipment and find new office space, we can
help you accomplish this by setting up a mobile
office with the needed equipment and services you
need until a permanent facility can be completed.
More information to follow.
