9 Ways to Prepare for Spring Weather
It's important to prepare before a big storm hits. And while the importance of
heeding this advice is always in good fashion, it couldn't be more true during springtime.
Here's why.
Unlike the arctic storms of winter, or hurricanes of summer, the severe weather
that manifests during spring, such as flooding and tornadoes, are some of the most
unpredictable weather disasters that occur. Often, these events only offer a few
moments notice before they strike, leaving those who are unprepared at serious risk.
Head into the spring season with confidence by downloading Agility's whitepaper
containing the
9 Ways to Prepare for Severe Spring Weather. You'll learn:
How to ensure you have proper insurance, how to ready your office for spring weather,
key things to consider as spring weather approaches, and more!

What is the Difference Between
Black, White and Grey Hat Hackers?

by Nadia Kovacs
Not all hackers are inherently bad. When used in mainstream
media, the word, "hacker," is usually used in relation to cyber
criminals, but a hacker can actually be anyone, regardless of
their intentions, who utilizes their knowledge of computer software
and hardware to break down and bypass security measures on a
computer, device or network. Hacking itself is not an illegal
activity unless the hacker is compromising a system without
the owner's permission. Many companies and government
agencies actually employ hackers to help them secure their
systems.
Hackers are generally categorized by type of metaphorical
"hat" they don: "white hat", "grey hat", and "black hat". The
terms come from old spaghetti westerns, where the bad guy wears
a black cowboy hat, and the good guy wears a white hat. There
are two main factors that determine the type of hacker you're
dealing with: their motivations, and whether or not they are
breaking the law.

How the Cloud
Has Made SMBs
More Efficient, Adaptable and Successful
used with permission

by Chris Chute
 As an IT industry analyst, I report on how cloud IT adoption
has grown with US small and medium businesses. Historically,
the smaller business space has been more conservative when approaching
new IT services that are hosted offsite. However, the results
of my most recent surveys were startling: 2014 served as a great
awakening for SMB IT managers, owners, and CIOs to the benefits
of cloud IT.
Our most recent SMB surveys indicate that small businesses
(firms with fewer than 100 employees) now understand how to
harness the cloud to reduce costs associated with basic office
functions like payroll, accounts receivable management, or productivity
software like Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Start Here with Windows 10
used with permission
from Microsoft for Work
Windows 10 is the productivity software that individuals
and corporations have been asking for. It has been built collaboratively
with customers, and embraces its history while learning from
the past to create something that's both functional and familiar.
With this combination, Windows 10 is the operating system that
takes us from the modern day into the future.
The different facets of Windows 10 fall into three categories:
what's back, what's familiar, and what's new.
What's back?
The Start menu is back�and it features some of the coolest,
most useful improvements. Rather than just bringing the Start
menu back, we revisited the idea and also made it more functional.
