There’s nothing like cracking open the box of a brand new computer. But don’t be so quick to just connect it all up and hop right on the Internet. According to the software security company Symantec, it takes only 20 minutes for an un-patched and unprotected computer to be attacked once connected to the Internet. To make sure you aren’t victimized, here are six steps you must take to secure your computer and the network on which it runs. Beware This Latest Threat to Your Personal Identity! It is really too bad, but the reality today is that we can’t be too trusting any more. It seems like there is some criminal around every corner ready to dupe us into giving up personal information and then stealing us blind. The only solution is to be vigilant, and sadly, a little paranoid. The latest of the schemes already has a name. It is called “vishing.” If that doesn’t sound descriptive, don’t worry, it will make sense soon. Read on for more | |

Major League Soccer, offers distinct opportunities to learn about eMazzanti’s services while being entertained by one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. With the addition of some of the sports greats to Major League Soccer, the overarching popularity of the “World’s Game” in the United States is now growing exponentially. The combination of the growth of the sport, alongside the continued growth of eMazzanti Technologies, forms a unique synergy. “We are excited about starting our second season with the Red Bulls”, said Jennifer Mazzanti, President of eMazzanti Technologies. “This season Danny Cepero and Chris Leitch of the New York Red Bulls team came out to eMazzanti’s office to sign autographs and mingle with customers. Building upon the success of our partnership with the Red Bulls this coming season we sees the Red Bulls at eMazzanti’s offices for additional customer events. Beyond the events, a New York Red Bulls soccer match is an exciting and entertaining venue to gather our customers and friends,” continued Mazzanti. “Few venues offer a setting like a Red Bulls match and we look forward to combining education about computer networking with the enjoyment of a Major League Soccer match and some good old-fashioned tailgating.” Read the Press Release |

| 4 Tips for Using Mapping Tools
to Increase Sales
by Christopher Elliott
reprinted with permission from Microsoft Small Business CenterSeeing is believing, at least when it comes to your customers. Put another way, it’s one thing to know your clients — to have a detailed profile of each one in your records. It’s another to actually see them. Unless you’re taking reliable sales data and plotting it on mapping and analysis tools, experts say you could be missing out on valuable opportunities to increase sales and expand your business. “Mapping helps you focus,” says James Chung, president of Reach Advisors, a Boston marketing strategy and research firm. “If you map, you can find your customers. And once you’ve found them, you can reach them.” Representing data visually used to be an expensive proposition for a small business. The applications that did it were pricey; the consultants that helped you run the programs were unaffordable. But the Internet, and applications such as Microsoft MapPoint, have made it easier — and cheaper — to get the job done. When I think of mapping, I imagine military leaders stooped over a giant map of a battlefield. But modern-day mapping is nothing like the War Room — or even pushpins on giant paper charts. Today’s mapping systems are inexpensive, and, yes, they’re even user-friendly. Here are four tips for successfully integrated mapping into your business strategies. |
