WEBINAR
ALERT: Webinar: Carbonite: A Cornerstone for Ransomware Protection
& Recovery
Thu, Mar 31, 2017 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PST
The
danger posed by ransomware is growing rapidly. More than 4,000 attacks
occur every day, and the volume of attacks is increasing annually at a
300 percent rate.
No one is safe. But there are steps you can and should take to position
your organization to recover from an attack—and depending on your
preparation, you could emerge completely unscathed.
March 31 is World Backup Day, and our experts are marking the occasion
by sharing the best practices IT professionals have developed to fend
off ransomware attacks. If you can’t afford to lose your data, you
can’t afford to miss this free webinar.
We’ll be discussing the ever-growing threat of ransomware, and showing
you the simple ways you can protect your data and your business. The
risk is real, but recovery is possible—if you know how to prepare.

Show
us your newsletter that you send to customers! Here is the official
story:
Harry here. I need your help.
I'm researching how MSPs, consultants, IT Pros and good old fashioned
'puter guys communicate with customers (small business owners).
Send your newsletter to harrybrelsford@gmail.com
There
are a couple reasons for my research. Too often we spend far too much
time researching recurring revenue and how to get you to sell more
stuff for vendors. I am on a mission to see if we can strengthen the
organic relationship between a service provider (MSP, etc) and the SMB
customer.
My ask is this.
Please both SEND me and SUBSCRIBE me to the customer facing newsletter
you send to your customers. READ MORE HERE

it, reading the manual (RTM).
I quickly discovered that this was my first telephony rodeo in a while
and I needed help after I tripped up on a security 3CXcertificate
implementation. Help isn’t bad. It doesn’t mean the 3CX is
overcomplicated. Just the opposite as I discovered 3CX is very powerful
and I needed the help of a certified 3CX partner.
I
reached out to my favorite telecom expert, Allen Miller, a well-known
3CX consultant based in Cincinnati, OH (Allen Miller Computer
Consulting). Full disclosure: Allen and I worked
together nearly a decade ago on a now discontinued Microsoft small
business phone system. I credit Allen with introducing me to the world
of VoIP. Needless to say, I trust him when it comes to everything
telephony.
Over the course of a few working sessions, Allen and I configured 3CX
for a test network at my company, SMB Nation. In the first session, we
completed the server-side installation starting with the security
certificate matter through the naming conventions and administrator
authentication. We did this on a small..Read
