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!eMazzanti Technologies - Monitor Phone

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.

4 Tips for Using Mapping Tools
to Increase Sales

Seeing 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.
