BLACKHAT Solutions urges custom information security as hackers target business data

BLACKHAT Solutions (www.BlackHatSolutions.com) is warning small to medium businesses of their financial and legal susceptibility in the face of increasingly sophisticated data hacking. The company, an IT security specialist, claims the tendency for complacency, despite an increasing dependence on online transactions, is putting business’ network security at risk. It predicts that manual analysis and tailored security solutions, rather than the automated alternative, will become standard practice this decade for businesses reliant on e-commerce. Screening systems using off-the-shelf software will not compete with the human touch necessary to protect data and client privacy as hackers’ expertise outstrips even the biggest name software suppliers’ efforts to thwart manipulation.

It’s not the safety of sensitive clients’ data alone that poses an urgent business threat in the new age of cyber-fraud, according to Max Emeline, Director and Project Manager of BLACKHAT Solutions. Current privacy obligations for Australian business mean that the party that owns the data is liable even when information is stolen and misused.

“Depending on how stolen data is used, it’s the original owner of that data that can be sued if personal information particularly, is exploited. The potential for financial impact on an organisation could be disastrous,” said Emeline.

“Off-the-shelf security products still play a role, but on their own are simply not adequate to protect a company’s information security to the foolproof standard of protection that online transactions and data storage requires.”

Recently reported security threats and in some cases infiltration of social networking sites, financial institutions and large online retailers highlight the refinement of hacking to a level able to conquer organisations regarded as operating with the ultimate levels of information security, according to Emeline.

In January 2010, the Australian Department of Defence opened its Cyber Security Operations Centre in Canberra, which is staffed by 130 IT experts. An average of 200 electronic security investigations were carried out at the Department during each month of 2009.

“If the household name companies and government departments are being targeted, it makes sense that average businesses are definitely vulnerable,” said Emeline.

With privacy breaches and their legal implications a genuine threat and generic software reliable only to a point, the best options for business are to block attacks before they happen. To cover all possible hacking possibilities “you need to think like a hacker”, says Emeline.

“Prevention is the best weapon against the risk of cyber-fraud, with manual auditing the only real guarantee of ongoing security. BLACKHAT Solutions has tested systems for retailers, investment companies, software engineers, marketing companies and for social networking sites, among others. The advantage of a hands-on investigation is that variations of likely attack scenarios are trialled according to the unique characteristics of the business. When testing is tailored to a company’s particular dynamics, a 99.9 per cent guarantee of impenetrable protection is realistic, unlike other available methods. Automated systems simply can’t match that level of foolproof security in the face of constantly changing IT threats,” said Emeline.

Increasingly, even IT companies are outsourcing security audits to specialists like BLACKHAT Solutions to scrutinise software and systems. But outside the IT arena, there’s almost no business that wouldn’t benefit from putting its online systems or data storage facilities to the test, whether or not in-house IT support is available.

“Businesses seeking data security services should look for manual testing that offers a mix of relevance depending on their available IT resources. It’s an investment in business security that could save hundreds of thousands of dollars,” said Emeline.

Where high-level in-house system administration or programmers are on staff, Emeline recommends an audit report that simply outlines specific threats. He says companies with only limited IT personnel should go to the next level and commission a summary of the threats along with their technical solutions, “but to be most effective, it’s important in both cases that the analysis is written by the same person who ran the tests,” he says.

Many of BLACKHAT Solutions’ clients engage them for the full service of risk identification, a solution summary followed by total threat elimination, which can involve configuration of server hardware and re-writing of application code.

Often when looking at starting a home business, we will ask what are the best home based business opportunities, but is this the best way to find home business opportunities that can make money?


There is a vast difference between those home based business opportunities that can make money and those that can make money for you. You see, asking what are the best home based business opportunities, may not serve you.

When looking at home based business ideas and opportunities, always consider whether this businesses marketing methods are something that you would like to do. After all, to succeed in business, 70% or more of your efforts should be in the marketing rather than any other area.


Another consideration is the product. There are many different home business opportunities, and they can range from offering car washing services to selling computer parts, and even selling detergent! If you have no interest in computers, then it is unlikely that the so called best home based business opportunity will be your best.


There are a lot of things to consider before joining a business opportunity. The best way to cut out unnecessary grief is by doing a lot of research before joining any single opportunity.


Don’t make your only criteria the money. Yes, some people make millions in the opportunity, but if they are great with cold calling, and you prefer door to door, which would you succeed in?


Research is free, but your time is not. Spending a few hours doing your research will give you a better chance for success than just plunging in. Remember a home based business opportunity requires just as much commitment as it would if you were planning to become a doctor.

Thats why more than 1.3 million home and business security customers across the United States and Canada trust us to help protect the people and things that matter most in life by providing reliable and affordable home and business alarm systems and monitoring services.

Monitored Security Systems – Keeping A Watchful Eye Over Your Home

There is a saying that people can never have a lot of protection. But this doesn’t seem to be proved right in today’s context. Americans previously thought that the need for business or home security was meant only for the rich and not for other people. But now they also realize that it is not only the rich that need protection but also everyone else.

It is quite sad that the middle class people have been targeted and it is those people who have been having harm to their property or any possessions. For families that are of the middle income types they are ways to help them secure their home. Small companies will be able to absorb the expenses of the security personnel but in some cases it may not be cost effective.

A monitored security service in your home or even for your business is preferred as it offers more security than the average household. On the whole some amount of security is better than no security at all. A security system without monitoring is pretty bad and needs to be taken care of.

A monitoring network is something that is needed. This service charge is one of the setbacks when it comes to having a secure home or in securing your business. But still this service is that which helps the business and home owners. You can also check to see if you get a reduction on your fee with your home or business insurance. Some of the insurance companies do not charge you at all when you take more safety measures than you really need to.

There are also advantages with this security. You constantly have someone to assist you when you are in need constantly even twenty four hours a day and also all the seven days of the week. You house is guarded at all times including Sundays and holidays. They work day and night to guard your house from any kind of invasion. Any kind of break ins will be quite bad for your business. It is therefore better for you to protect it before you get into any mess.

Those people who want to know about a distinctive advantage, here it is. The costs that are got by monitoring these services are much lesser than what will be required to hire security personnel to secure your business or home for a whole day of twenty four hours and also a whole week which consists of seven days. You also have to keep in mind the over pay that you need to give on holidays and on weekends. You will need to pay for overtime also. Altogether when you total it up you will find that you will be putting in a great deal of money, much more than what you will be investing to get one of these monitored home security services. Check by yourself the budget and then decide on what you can afford to do to keep your home, business, family members and employees safe.

Essential Management Principles for Every Small Business

I have read, over my business career, well over 10,000 different articles and lists about how anyone can be successful with a small business be it an independent business or a franchise. Many well intentioned and intelligent consultants I have come across professionally believe that a great idea with a great marketing scheme and superior desire can make anyone successful. Do yourself a favor and tell the next person spewing this nonsense that they are absolutely wrong!

The success or failure of the vast majority of all small businesses has little to do with the desire, marketing scheme or the great idea that created the business. While these three items must be present in every successful business, solid fundamental management principles will allow a small business to prosper and succeed. Every successful company, be it a small, medium or large business, uses the same set of management principals. The size of the business determines the individuals principals used and the sophistication of the principle. As an example, a small business normally has informal and perhaps even unwritten employee hiring guidelines. A medium sized company has a legally approved, comprehensive employee manual with employee hiring guidelines as a separate section. A large global business has an entire department writing several employee manuals in several languages with employee hiring guidelines based upon legal and social issues in each country. However, the common sense management principal that all companies should have a fair, consistent and applicable employment program must be used by every company.

As I have spent the vast majority of my career with small and medium sized businesses, here is a simple and select set of management principles that every small and medium business should follow to ensure success and profitability:

 

A good accounting department with timely monthly financial statements provides the basis for all management decisions. Any business owner or officer who believes purely in his or her “gut” feel, is running what will be a failed business. Regardless of the business size, every owner and senior executive must have valid data to confirm the decisions their “gut” tells them to make. Your financial statements are a factual record of your business history and we must all clearly understand our history so we do not repeat the mistakes of the past. How can you determine whether your recent marketing campaign is a success unless you see and evaluate the financial results? We have all heard stories about the marketing campaign that brought many new customers to the company but killed the company because the advertising expense was greater than the profit margin on the new sales. A business owner does not need an accounting degree but should know enough to understand and participate in the financial information review.

Running a small business based on the cash balance in the business checking account also violates this management principle and will severely inhibit the growth and success of the business. Unless you want to remain a “mom and pop” business forever, good accounting information is a requirement.

 

Standardize and automate all routine functions. Have you ever noticed that most successful business people have a routine for most of their daily functions? They have staff meetings at the same time, they want all reports in a specific format, they want all PC’s and software to be the same in the office and they want the external phone calls to be answered with a specific greeting. By standardizing all routine functions, successful business people do not have to think about or manage these functions. They can concentrate their time and efforts on managing non routine situations.

This same principle also applies to your business. I personally know a company that, 10 years ago, had a credit department with 15 employees and 3 managers who made many decisions daily. Today, that company has doubled its sales and now has a credit department consisting of 5 employees, one manager and a set of software programs that manages electronic payments and even sends out reminder letters and emails to customers.

 

Review and analyze the Balance Sheet before the Profit and Loss Statement. Your monthly P & L tells you whether you were successful last month from your operations but your Balance Sheet tells you what shape your business is in and what you can do in the future. I have seen a company that doubled sales one year and closed their doors less than six months later. I have also seen a business that went bankrupt even though their P & L’s showed reasonable success. The company Balance Sheet shows how the company uses its daily operations to fund the long term success of the business. Analyzing Fixed Assets, Accounts Receivable, Long Term Debt and Retained Earnings will give us the long term view for our company. It is not as exciting as analyzing our new customers and product offerings but is necessary for the long term.

 

Business Planning and Budgeting will allow you to slow down the daily business fires and take advantage of opportunities. There are an unusual number of small and medium businesses that do not work hard at either annual or strategic planning and budgeting. Most are too busy fighting fires and struggling to keep up with daily business activity. There is no time for planning and budgeting in their 80 hours work weeks. We have all been in this position. The unfortunate issue here is that the fire fighting and long weeks will never slow down or cease until some planning and budgeting is put in place. The need for planning and budgeting becomes more intense as a business grows due to your inability to “manage by walking around.” The planning and budgeting can start simple and will grow naturally as the business expands. This management principle will allow all employees to see the vision and the focus of the business which will start to reduce the daily fires that pop up.

The greatest advantage of planning and budgeting is that it allows every business owner to evaluate quickly and easily how an unexpected opportunity might be of benefit to the business. I have talked to many business owners who stumbled across a sudden and potentially great opportunity such as a competitor for sale, a good supplier needing a partner, a potential new customer that would immediately double sales or a potential new product that would require an entirely new set of tools and equipment. These opportunities happen to all business owners regularly but many also go away quickly. Those companies that have a good plan and budget in place can evaluate these opportunities quickly and easily to determine if the new opportunity fits into the company’s long term plans. These companies also have the ability to quickly approach a bank with solid financial proformas if additional capital is needed. 

 

It isn’t a sale unless you collect. Most small and medium businesses spend way too much time in the sales process and far too little time with the collection process. Most companies are willing to pay a six figure salary to a salesman who can generate tremendous sales for the company and, at the same time, put an entry level accounting clerk in charge of collection with little or no oversight and procedures. The company borrows more and more money to increase sales while an accounting clerk with no customer service experience struggles to collect. The sales department in every business must have a part in the collection process and the company must have a strong, fair and customer oriented collection process to ensure that a sale really means money in the bank.

This process must always start before the sale is made. Collecting information up front to determine whether the potential customer is able to pay and ensuring the potential customer clearly understands the credit terms and payment requirement will benefit all parties. All good potential customers will appreciate this process because we all enjoy dealing with quality companies. I have never found any company that was unwilling to pay for quality products and services when everyone understood the terms and requirements.

The credit department must also have a good set of processes and procedures to ensure that the payment process flows smoothly and efficiently. Supplier employee turnover, cash flow issues and other unexpected issues stop or slow down the payment process. The credit department must, in a customer oriented fashion, work to keep our cash flowing.

 

Run the business as if it your grandchildren will take it over.  Every business is a living and vibrant organization that has many similarities to our children. Your business starts out as an infant and learns to crawl and eventually walk. We would never make a decision for our child that does not take into account the child’s future and we should not do this with our business either.

Working with a supplier who has inferior quality but the cheapest price might be a great short term cash solution for our company but will eventually run off our customers and destroy our business. How many times has a business lost all its records because it decided it couldn’t afford computer backups or a fire alarm system on its warehouse? Have you hired an employee before you had them take a drug test? I even once jumped at the chance to hire a salesman from a competitor because I thought he would be able to bring over many customers. Unfortunately, he cost too much and didn’t bring over any good paying customers at all. There is no such thing as a good short cut for efficient management principals and the long term success of your organization.

 

Hire the smartest and best people. How many of us have hired our friends, the salesman we thought was a bargain, the bookkeeper who spoke the best during the interview or the manager we thought was most like us? Many small and medium sized businesses are littered with employees who were hired for these reasons because small businesses can’t afford high wages and all the fringe benefit packages that large companies can afford. We tend to hire the best we think we can get.

We need to set our expectations higher and use our planning process to find perfect employees. The first issue is that your company must have a good annual plan as well as a logical 5 year plan on where the company will be. Your company can then lay out what employees will be needed during this 5 year period. Now that we have defined what employees and what responsibilities are required, we need to find the individuals who meet these requirements and not just who we can afford today.

I have always tried to hire people who are smarter and have more experience than I have at the specific position. Any owner who believes he is the smartest individual in every area will never be able to hire the right people. A company will never be greater than its weakest employee so we must always hire the best.

The last company I worked with laid out a plan showing they were going to need their first CPA in 5 years. After 3 years, they told me they hired this CPA and were very surprised because this individual had other job opportunities with large national firms who were offering huge benefits. However, this small firm could offer professional growth and responsibility not available at the larger company. The vast majority of good employees prefer to have a more responsible position with a smaller company with a grand future than a less responsible position with a large company.

 

You can grow yourself out of business. Cash is king in business and those who recognize this fact will succeed and prosper. I have seen far more businesses that grow too fast with no good business plan and are forced to close their doors or find a quick buyer. Companies that are struggling watch their cash daily and doing what they need to keep the doors open. However, those companies doubling their sales see huge profits on their monthly financial statements and get caught up in the emotion and success. They watch their Accounts Receivable double, their Inventory double because they must buy much more product, their employees double because they must take care of these sales and suddenly they do not have the ability to make this week’s payroll because they have no cash in their checking account. Their company literally grew itself out of business which many small and medium business owners have trouble understanding until they have lived through it.

 

The culture of every business is as important as its mission. As mentioned earlier, a business is a living and breathing organization. The culture of every business is as important to the overall success of the company as the products and services offered. The owner of the business cannot delegate this function and must be involved. There is no right or wrong here as the business culture is a reflection of the quality, morals and ethics of its owner. A successful company’s culture is not a constantly changing but evolves based upon the growth and expansion of the organization. Constantly changing a company’s culture is a sure way to close a business.

A company with a strict dress code, time clocks that are strictly enforced, and many processes and procedures is no better than another company with no dress code, few processes, and telecommuting for employees. The only difference is the type of employees they retain and the way they do business.

 

Your quality competitors are essential to your long term success. You can stop laughing now because this is really a fact that every successful company understands. This is an unusual concept but one that great businessmen and women all embrace. Competition is a wonderful concept in every free market economy and quality competition makes us all better. Quality competitors push us to come up with quality improvements, quality products and services and ensure that we have a quality customer oriented operation. We have all seen businesses spring up offering a 50% price reduction for a cheap knock off of our products. Our sales drop and we spend time and effort away from our core business chasing this situation. They stay in business for a short period of time and accomplish nothing more than causing our customers to question our industry. Quality competitors push us all toward greatness and there is plenty of room in every industry for multiple organizations.

 

 

Outsourcing reduces costs and improves your weaknesses. Many individuals hear the jokes about the language issues at large company call centers in India or the Philippines and tell themselves they will never make that mistake. However, that might be one situation that is not really a mistake. A good IT programmer in the U.S. can cost upwards of $100,000 annually with payroll taxes, fringe benefits, etc. That employee in India with the exact same intelligence, skills and experience can cost as little as $30,000 annually.

The management principle here is that we should all concentrate on our strengths and outsource everything else where feasible. No business person thinks twice about using an outside tax accountant to do our Federal and State taxes. This is a highly technical area that changes constantly. Most of us also have an outside legal firm. Why do we primarily limit our use of outsourcing to those two areas?? Today, there are professional payroll firms, employee leasing firms, credit and collection firms, IT and Web programming firms and marketing firms. These companies work with many business organizations, stay on top of industry best practices and can better stay on top of the technical changes in their area of expertise.

The only area of any company that I advise against outsourcing is the area that is crucial to the success of your company. Never allow the core of your success to get outside your control. As an example, if your company has a proprietary marketing scheme or a customer database or an engineering method or a production process that is key to your success, do not let it out of your control.

Systems Securing Small Businesses

Small businesses are defined as mainly those that employ a smaller number of people. However, this can be deceptive as the term ‘small’ or ‘less’ are relative. Therefore, in the United States of America, for instance, a small business is one in which there are less than one hundred employees whereas in the European Union, a small business is characterised by a number of employees smaller than fifty. In certain cases other factors also define a smaller business enterprise such as profit margin, capital investment, etc. Thus, small businesses are also those which have smaller spending powers. Therefore, such business concerns have a reduced budget when it comes to buying security gadgets. There are various cheaper appliances which are ideal for putting together a security system for smaller business concerns. The following are a few examples:

Wireless Cameras

These are the latest gadgets today as far as security is concerned. Unlike a burglar or security alarm, the wireless camera records all the proceedings and is therefore of some use during the police investigations. A wireless camera is also of use during surveillance as a person sitting inside the building can see what is going on outside the building with the help of this gadget. The camera also records sound as well recording video footage. With the help of wireless cameras, you can monitor all the visitors, employees and other persons coming inside the building and therefore the likelihood of intercepting a criminal and preventing the crime increases.

Security Lighting

Adequate lighting in any place discourages intruders. Thus installing bright lights around your business office may be a cheap and effective solution to all your security problems and needs. Certain scientific studies show that lighting reduces crime or at least discourages criminals and intruders. For well lit outer spaces one can employ large, bright and powerful search lights as well as flood lights which are used in sporting events under poor natural light conditions.

Burglar Alarms

Any kind of alarm is a device which, by producing a loud noise, warns people that something is amiss. Use of alarms is universal in high security places such as prisons and other government buildings. There are sensors in an alarm which are programmed to trigger off a warning when there is some unwanted, unauthorised intrusion or breaking in.

A burglar alarm, as the name suggests, is something exactly designed to help prevent unauthorised entry into buildings or office premises. A burglar alarm is also known as a security alarm. These alarms are available in many makes and models—from the latest wireless alarms (which operate with the help of radio waves) to the more conventional wired alarms. The price range varies considerably with the number of amenities. This is ideal for a small business solution since such an enterprise cannot afford to employ many guards. The alarm will warn anyone within the premise of criminal activity and then the necessary action can be taken

CCTV

CCTV is the acronym for closed circuit television. Such a surveillance system is very useful since all activity in different parts of a building or office can be kept under tab by one person sitting in front of the single monitor which can filter the feeds from various hidden cameras placed in different locations.

Achieve the Dream of Owning Your Own Business

If a former construction worker went from picking up scraps at a construction site, making $30,000 a year to making a $30,000 a month, then the dream of owning your own business is still alive for you.

Sometimes when that alarm clock buzzes on Monday morning, you want to bang your head against the headboard instead of your hand against the button. We’ve all been there. According to national studies, nearly 60% of workers have been there. It seems everybody hates their jobs.

Maybe, it’s not the job that you hate at all. Maybe it’s the pay, or the noose your bosses put around your neck. Maybe, it’s just your boss. Whatever your reasons for hating what you do for a living it’s mostly because you know that you have more potential and you haven’t realized your dream of being your own boss.

Most of this disappointment with having to get up on Monday mornings to start that work week again, comes from the shame and embarrassment you fill when you have to realize again that you haven’t achieved any of those dreams you had for yourself back in high school.

The construction worker that I mentioned a moment ago, his name is Ty Coughlin, with the money he scraped up from working construction he tried every business idea in the book to try and start his own business. Luckily, he took all the knowledge of those failed attempts to create a successful business behemoth.

Owning your own business is a reality that you can grasp. 90% of the employers in the United States are employed by small to mid-sized businesses. That means there are opportunities out there. The best part is that you don’t have to worry about failing and having to close your door within the first three years. Not if you follow a business model that has been proven to work, over and over again, and make its users thousands of dollars a month.

A comprehensive business model has been developed for the novice entrepreneur to the experienced exec called the Reverse Funnel System that is raking in loads of cash for people who started out with the same dream as you – they just wanted to be their own bosses.

Often times, when people start their own businesses, they jump into a new business that requires them to have lots of experience. They realize after they’ve gotten into the business venture that they’re not qualified or they are over their heads.

The smarter ones don’t jump into unproven markets; they buy franchises with major brand attachment. This approach requires hundreds or thousands of dollars – sometimes millions. Most people don’t have that kind of cash to get involved into a franchise. Even if you did, a franchise often turns out to be a job. The corporation, who has sold you their name, usually has control over your products, promotions and their image. It’s basically still a job.

Remember, Ty Coughlin? You remember all the business ideas he had? Well, he got those from eBooks, attending “Success Seminars” – which we all know can be quite costly, network marketing and every multi-level marketing program he came across.

He made a couple of bucks using some of the techniques, but nothing that would allow him to scrap the construction job. He ended up spending more money than he made. Along the way, he found a few common threads that seemed to be present in all these business ideas. However, none of them had a step-by-step proven system that he could plug himself into and immediately generate income.

Nobody likes Multi-level marketing, because no one wants to have to make cold calls and beat the pavement to find prospective customers.

Money is another major factor in stalling your dreams. It costs money to start a new business. It costs money to maintain your lifestyle after you quite your job. And you fear not having that regular paycheck. Ty had all these concerns for himself. So, he made sure that his program would always generate income.

The Reverse Funnel System is a collection of years of marketing strategies and business models and has molded them into one fail-proof system. In essence, it’s like a franchise with the perks of providing a proven business model without the hassle of having big corporation all over your back. Even better than that, the Reverse Funnel System requires a minimal investment to get started in comparison to have to give up your life savings for a corporate franchise opportunity.

Bare bones, the Reverse Funnel System focus on the two things that every business needs to survive – new customers and repeat business. The system is a lead generation and traffic system where each income stream product offered through the system solves an aggravating problem or burning desire to someone else.

There are only three steps in the system to make money:

1. Use the assistance of the internet marketing gurus the system provides to place ads that have a 65% conversion rate. The program tells you exactly where to place these ads

2. Answer questions via email from people who visit your website. You don’t even have to talk to them on the phone.

3. Call into a conference call once a day to share with other members of the Inner Circle how much money you made the previous week using the system.

Don’t take my word for it. You can find all kinds of information on the Reverse Funnel System all over the internet. The system is taking the internet by storm.

Ty Coughlin and his inner circle have even made a commitment to every aggressive joint venture partner that he accepts into his system. They have to use his ads, marketing co-ops and the proven system in order to fulfill the commitment. But, he guarantees that if you do, you will eventually be making a residual income of $20K per month.

The Reverse Funnel System is not for everyone. To honor the integrity of the system, the program is designed to weed out those who are not serious about starting their own business. It starts with an application process.

This system is promising for burnt out business and franchise owners, eBook marketers who are counting their pennies, those who’ve been scammed by MLM’s and Network marketing programs, CEO’s and Executives who want additional income to compliment their corporate salaries and aggressive sales people.

This program really is for anyone who needs guidance and really has the drive to start their own business. Truckers who have gotten tired of being on the road for days and weeks at a time have found success with this system.

This fully automated marketing back office system lets you dip your hands into all kinds of profitably industries:

• Real Estate

• Stock Markets

• Foreign Currency Exchange

• Internet Marketing

• Network Marketing

Again, you don’t have to take my word for it. The beauty of building a business online is the accuracy and technology available. You will be able to track and measure your own success, not only with your bank account balance, but with the immense technological advantages the internet offers.

That’s what Ty Coughlin and the Inner Circle have done. They tested, measured and tracked every result to produce better and better results.

They hired professional copywriters, world class programmers, and Internet marketing gurus and put together a fully automated system. Your dreams of starting your own business can now be a reality.

The Reverse Funnel System can be a resource to use to open doors to many opportunities. You’ll be rubbing elbows with other people who have found success with this program. This is bigger than a stepping stone. This is a mountain, overlooking a valley of your dreams.
