Though there are a variety of simple technological steps you can take to better ensure the security of your email, the best email security starts with training yourself to be a more security conscious email user. By becoming a safer and more secure emailer, you can protect yourself and others.

Regardless of whether you use an email application such as Outlook or Mail, or if you simply point your browser to Gmail or Yahoo to check your email, you should always make sure that you are using a secure connection. Secure connections enable you to ensure the authenticity of the mail server you are using so that you can rest assured that your email is being sent to your mail sever and not a malicious third party. Making sure you are using a secure connection is one small step which you can take to safeguard your important business communications from prying eyes.

We’re usually told by clients to work on a tight budget. In order to get the most out of web sites we design we’ve devised a simple template as a guide which we would like to share:
You must know the purpose that your website is supposed to serve.
There are many reasons to build a website for your business. In order to cut down on cost and time, it's important to know what you'd like that purpose to be before you start. Is it sales, visibility, credibility, or what? For example, during website construction for an informational site, do you know what categories you want to have? If it's a commerce site, do you know what you'd like to sell and are you prepared for delivery? If you're developing a site for advertising purposes, do you have a general message or mood that you'd like to get across?

All computers, from your desktop in the den to the laptop you use on the road, have become more and more vulnerable to intrusion and attack. From January 2005 to the present an estimated 165 million data records of US residents have been exposed according to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. Viruses, worms, malware and spyware are rampant throughout the Internet. Entities as diverse as the federal government and the City of New York pension system to companies like SAIC, AT&T and numerous banks have had laptops with supposedly secure information either lost or stolen. In September the virus threat even hit Skype, with the discovery of a worm that used Skype phone chat to redirect users to a website that infected their computers. With the Cyberwars becoming more and more heated, everyone from Microsoft and Symantec to the Department of Homeland Security issue alerts, updates, patches and security bulletins. All of this information and help will be to no avail without basic security awareness on the part of every computer user.
