Our Identity Crisis

As as kid, my mom would constantly remind me that I was a Hawaiian Prince – a direct descendant of King Kamehameha’s grandparents and the Kekaulike (23rd Moi of Maui) line.  I was born in Hawaii but grew up on the East Coast so as a kid, I was embarrassed to be of Hawaiian Royalty since it was different from the typical ethnic groups of the New England states but that was/is Who I Am.  Of course as I got older I like being 254th in line to the Hawaiian throne…if it was still a sovereign kingdom.  Your identity is...

Who In The World Are You?

Steven Wright has said, 'It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.' The world is getting smaller with today's 24/7 global marketplace. Businesses have offices and employees around the world to serve the needs of the organization's global customers. Those users, whether they are in a branch office, home office or mobile need access to critical information. Data like corporate information, customer information, sales information, financial information, product information and any other sources of business material is important to be able to make smart enterprise decisions. Without access to this data, poor decisions are made and the...

Where Do You Wear Your Malware?

The London Stock Exchange, Android phones and even the impenetrable Mac have all been malware targets recently.  If you’re connected to the internet, you are at risk.  It is no surprise that the crooks will go after whatever device people are using to conduct their life – mobile for example, along with trying to achieve that great financial heist….’if we can just get this one big score, then we can hang up our botnets and retire!’  Perhaps Homer Simpson said it best, ‘Ooh, Mama!  This is finally really happening.  After years of disappointment with get-rich-quick schemes, I know I'm gonna...
