How many of your employees actually made it to work during the blizzard?

The blizzard of 2011 put many companies and governmental agencies’ continuity-of-operations (COOP) and telework plans to a significant test.
 
While it was business-as-usual for the few with well-developed telework programs, work at numerous organizations came to grinding halt. And, in the aftermath of the storm, many of you will redouble your efforts to develop effective telework programs.

With the SonicWALL Aventail Spike License, you have an insurance policy against future spikes in remote access traffic, whether you need a dozen or a few thousand additional users.

Beware of Printer Toner Scams

It begins with a simple question...

The way the scam works is they find out what kind of printer you have and send you some ink for it, even though you never ordered anything. They let you keep the ink for a while in the hopes that you will use it, then they send you a bill. Their prices are always way more than what you’d normally pay anywhere else. If you call them to question the bill, they will try to guilt you into paying and some of them even make threats. Many people pay the bill because of this, otherwise they might feel like they are stealing.

HTS Tech Tip

Back up all of your data.
Whether or not you take steps to protect yourself, there will always be a possibility that something will happen to destroy your data. You have probably already experienced this at least once- osing one or more files due to an accident, a virus or worm, a natural event, or a problem with your equipment. Regularly backing up your data on a CD or network reduces the stress and other negative consequences that result from losing important information. Determining how often to back up your data is a personal decision. If you are constantly adding or changing data, you may find weekly backups to be the best alternative; if your content rarely changes, you may decide that your backups do not need to be as frequent. You don't need to back up software that you own on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM-you can reinstall the software from the original media if necessary.
