Business Continuity Tip
Importance of Having a Plan B
Most disasters come with little to no warning. And even more unpredictable is
knowing how a disaster will specifically test your organization's recovery plan.
Say you've planned and prepared for a power outage by purchasing a generator.
However, on the day disaster strikes, your generator malfunctions, taking you back
to square one.
Having a plan B prepared ahead of time (and sometimes
even a backup to your backup) could be the determining
factor between your organization surviving a disaster
and giving into one.

ending for Windows Server 2003. If your business is running

on July 29
used with permission
from Microsoft by Terry Myerson
Today, I'm excited to share the availability date for Windows
10. In fact, I thought I'd let Cortana, the world's most personal
digital assistant, share the news. You can ask Cortana for the
answer! Or if you don't have a Windows phone or a PC running
the Windows 10 Insider Preview handy �
you can hear it for yourself here.
Through the feedback and testing of over four million Windows
Insiders, we've made great progress on Windows 10 and we're
nearly ready to deliver this free upgrade to all of our Windows
customers*.

Phishing: Still a concern
used with permission
from HP Technology at Work
Businesses often don't realize how vulnerable their confidential
data is until it's exposed by a hack. By now, many are aware
of external threats to data security and (hopefully) prepare
accordingly, but breaches can still occur�despite taking the
necessary security precautions. And with phishing, threats don't
need to sneak in the back door; sometimes they walk right through
the front.

sensitive company data and information. But it may alarm
you to know that small businesses are particularly
vulnerable. Specifically, overall cyber-attacks on
companies with 250 or fewer employees doubled in the
first six months of last year�and the loss per attack
was more than $188,000 on average. The effect of
cyber-attacks on the American economy as a whole is a
high cost of $100 billion annually, according to the
Center for Strategic and International Studies them?
