Patch Now, Not
Later
Summary: Never before have there
been so many potential costly threats to your business
information. Protect your business by staying up-to-date with
patches for all your software programs.
 Introduction
According to
the CERT Coordination Center at Carnegie Mellon, 99 percent of
all reported security intrusions "result through exploitation
of known vulnerabilities or configuration errors." That's why
patching should be on your first line of defense against
security threats. However, before you automate the patching
function available on your software, make sure you are up to
speed on the "whats, hows, and whys" of patching.
'A fix'
A patch is a small piece of code that remedies
specific problems in a file or application. The patch update
is applied as a replacement, complement, or a fix to existing
programming. The availability of patches removes the need to
download and re-install the entire file or
application.

Securing Your
Smartphone or PDA
 Summary: Don't overlook
the security needs of these small devices. Here are some key
security measures to take to protect your smartphone or PDA.
Smartphones and
personal digital assistants (PDAs) have become important
business tools in recent years, and that trend appears to be
continuing. According to Gartner Inc, worldwide PDA shipments
in the first quarter of 2006 increased 6.6 percent compared to
the first quarter of 2005. While use of these handheld devices
is becoming more widespread, prices have remained steady, with
the average price per device dropping 2.7 percent compared to
the same time last year.
For purposes of
clarification, Gartner defines a PDA as a data-centric
handheld computer weighing less than one pound that is
primarily designed for use with both hands. Smartphones offer
all the attributes of a PDA, except that smartphones are
voice-centric and are designed for primarily one-handed
operation. Those differences aside, both devices offer the
freedom of mobility to continue business operations outside
the physical office walls, enabling anywhere/anytime
communication via the phone, email, or Internet using a
wireless connection.

Panurgy releases a real-time data backup
and
recovery solution, for local and offsite
protection.
| Most IT
Managers and Business Owners agree that tape backups are
not reliable. The fixed-scheduled antiquated tape
systems are subject to human error, cumbersome to manage
and are unreliable. An organizations data is a
business’s most important asset and losing it could mean
hours, days or more of downtime. |
|
Statistics show:
>Over 30% of IT
costs are associated with backup
>20% of nightly
tape-based backup jobs fail
>40% of
dedicated, full-time IT Managers can not recover
data from their tape backups
|
|
The
reality is that up until now, tape backup systems, although
far from perfect, were the only viable data protection
product. But that has changed. Panurgy Total
Data Protection (PTDP) provides real-time, hassle-free, local
backup, as well as hands-free offsite protection for servers,
laptops and PCs. PTDP solution provides complete
administration and management saving valuable time. Our IT
experts can allow data to be recovered from any point in
time—minutes, hours, days or more, as well as, recover deleted
files. Backup and recovery policies are set at the network or
user level for quick and easy recovery.
Features
and Benefits:

data backup replicates data in real-time for servers,
laptops and PCs, so that data can be recovered from any
previous point in time. Even open files are protected.
-

sent to a secure data center. Offsite backup is non-evasive
during working hours.
-
Instant data recovery and
file versions enable the retrieval of every version of the
file, not just the latest version.
-
Seamless support for
databases and applications provided without the need to
integrate third-party software modules.
-

creates an exact image of an entire server or workstation
including operating system files, programs, databases and
settings. An entire system can be recovered in minutes.

the ability to explore archives and restore individual
files.

Employee Spotlight
Gerry Gerber
Panurgy would like to welcome the
newest member to our team – Gerry Gerber. Gerry has joined Panurgy
as a Senior Account Representative. Gerry has been with Panurgy a
little more then a month and already is becoming familiar with the
many services we offer. His background is in the telecommunication
business, so jumping right in to inform our clients about our
Verizon services, Avaya systems and solutions has been a natural fit
for Gerry.
A typical day for Gerry at Panurgy
has been to arrive around 8:15, jump right on the phone, promoting
Panurgy services to our prospects, and he does not stop until he
finds someone who is in need of our services. Gerry says of his busy
work day, "I don't actually stop when I find an opportunity – I just
take a 2 minute break and then start looking for the next
opportunity!"
Even though Gerry has not been
with Panurgy for long, he already has had some great customer
experiences. "I received an unsolicited e-mail last week from a
potential customer I had called a couple of days earlier. Thanking
me for my excellent presentation and that they would be discussing
our services and try to find some time to schedule a meeting soon."
That is very rewarding.
When not working, Gerry spends
time with his 17 year old son, Jesse. Gerry enjoys watching Jesse's
hockey games, where he is on the Varsity team. Gerry has always
loved music and has a modest home recording studio in Cedar Grove,
New Jersey. Gerry is also an amateur student of Stock Market
Technical Analysis.
Best of Luck to you
Gerry!
