Cool Tools & Tech Tips Cool Tools & Tech Tips Mike Knapick – CIO, Sanmar & Dino Bangiorno, CAS – Application Development Team Lead, HALO Branded Solutions Session Goal To provide you with information and a number of takeaways that will enable you to avoid some pitfalls, adopt some new technology and learn some new things about technology you probably already use. Safety Tips What is Malware? • Malware is an abbreviated term meaning “malicious software.” • Software that is intended to damage or disable computer systems. • Viruses – executed code that replicates itself to do something malicious (destroy data, steal passwords, spam your contacts, etc.) • Ransomware - A type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system (or data) until a sum of money is paid. Malware Impact & Statistics • Paying a ransom pales in comparison to the actual damage costs involved with a ransomware attack which includes: - Damage and destruction (or loss) of data - Downtime - Lost Productivity - Post-attack disruption to the normal course of business - Restoration and deletion of hostage data and systems - Reputational harm - Employee training in direct response to the attacks • Tallying it all up, Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that ransomware damages will cost the world $5 billion dollars in 2017 and climb to $11.5 billion in 2019. Those figures are up from just $325 million in 2015. Malware Impact & Statistics • 20% of computers in Sweden have been infected with Malware. That’s the lowest in the world! • The rising costs are driven by an uptick in the frequency of attacks. Ransomware is projected to attack a business every 14 seconds by the end of 2019 up from every 40 seconds this year. How Malware Infects Computer Systems • Methods of Infection • Email (Most effective method) • Attachments • Links • Web Browsing • Social Media Scam Links • File Downloads • App Downloads • External Media How Malware Infects Computer Systems • Email Attachments & Links • One of the most popular methods to distribute malware • Typically sent from unknown senders but sometimes disguised to look like a legitimate email • Companies and/or persons have been targeted specifically targeted • Email with attachments Were you expecting an email with an attachment from this company/person? If the end of the email address (NOT THE DISPLAY NAME) does not end with the following top level domains and has an attachment or link, exercise caution. .com .org .gov . edu .mil .net • Email with web/hyperlinks Teaching your folks a lesson Sometimes the best way to reinforce these lessons is to show people how easy it is to be deceived • Free Option – • Create a free Gmail account • Send an email with an attachment with a funny picture saying “You shouldn’t have opened this. Please come see me.” • Phishme.com/free • Knowbe4.com/ • Paid Options • Knowbe4.com • Phishme.com How Malware Infects Computer Systems Web Browsing – Infected web sites • Browsing to a web site that has been compromised can infect your computer just by opening up the web sites main page. • Only browse to well known Web sites. • Browsing to web sites not relevant to corporate business increases risk of infection. • Restricting access would be inconvenient. • Be diligent in protecting the network. How Malware Infects Computer Systems • Web Browser Pop-up Windows • Some pop-up windows or boxes will attempt to corner you into downloading software or accepting a free "system scan" of some type. • Disable pop-ups, then only enable for sites you trust – browser specific (settings) • Don’t ever click on pop-up windows. • If you ever see the following type of pop-up window, immediately shut down your PC.

  • Highway-User Taxation, Financing of State Highways, and Highway Mileage
    HIG,HWAY STATISTICS U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS H I G H WAY STATISTICS U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON: 1950 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C. Price 65 cents ' PREFACE This pamphlet, the fourth of an annual series, presents the 1948 statistical and analytical tables of general interest on the subjects of motor fuel, motor vehicles, highway-user taxation, financing of State highways, and highway mileage. The brief text is intended only to call attention to information of par- ticular interest or significance, to supply definitions of the terms used in the tables, and to point out the limitations of the data presented. Many of the tables in this pamphlet were issued separately so that the information could be made available at the earliest possible date. However, the public reception of previous Highway Statistics publications indicates that the issuance of the tables in assembled, permanent form makes the data much more convenient and serviceable to their users. Prior editions of Highway Statistics are for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C., at the following prices: Highway Sta- tistics, 1945, 35 cents; Highway Statistics, 7946, 50 cents; Highway Statistics, 1947, 45 cents. In addition to the annual pamphlets, and supplementing them, the Bureau of Public Roads has published Highway Statistics, Summary to 1945, in which are presented selected historical summaries of highway data carried from the earliest years that available information warrants.

  • Why Msps Prefer Microsoft 365 Over Office 365
    WHITE PAPER Why MSPs Prefer Microsoft 365 over Office 365 Three Words: Management, Management, Management | By Howard M. Cohen The Reality of Software Margins For many years, representatives of software companies have emphasized the profit margin available to resellers from their products. The margins they describe have always been somewhat of an illusion. The reality is that they are telling you about the margin between the cost you pay to obtain their software licenses and the published manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). It has been decades since anyone has sold software at MSRP. Many competitive retailers will gladly discount from an MSRP that produces a 40% to 50% margin down to a “street price” that provides perhaps 2%. Some will be satisfied earning basis points (fractional margin less than 1%) on the software they sell. Some software vendors provide “back- end” dollars in the form of rebates that supplement these miniscule margins. If you’re an MSP, it has probably been a long time since you worried about margins from software sales. Some MSPs have eliminated software and hardware sales entirely, pointing to operating expenses, credit costs, and the exposure to returns that make it an unprofitable business. So what does this have to do with Office 365 and Microsoft 365, which are service subscriptions, not software products? Where MSPs Make Their Money Some MSPs have driven themselves out of business trying to earn income from products with little to no margins. When interviewing software reps, smart MSPs ask more questions
