Security Made Simple:

Sophos Cloud

 

We’re excited and you should be too – we’ve made the move to Sophos Cloud security.  We will be introducing this to clients as their anti virus and content management needs come up for renewal. With a management console hosted in the cloud by Sophos and no server to install, Sophos provides easy and effective protection while reducing the on site support needs for anti virus and content management.

 

Sophos Cloud follows users across devices, platforms and locations, providing integrated security for Windows, Mac and mobile devices. Protection is kept up to date using automatic updates and real-time research of any suspicious files. Sophos enables built-in web security to protect users for safe browsing, as well as promotes safe and productive web usage without the need for proxy servers, VPN, or application-specific configuration.

.NYC:

New York City’s Official Domain

 

New York City will be one of the first cities to have a domain to call it’s own with the introduction of .nyc. As the domain name system expands, a small amount of city, country and regional domains will be added.

 

Launching this summer in a series of phases, local New Yorkers providing services, content or ideas will be eligible for a .nyc domain, as well as companies and organizations who want to showcase their location online. Eager to partake companies and individuals now have the opportunity to become a founding member by applying this month and having a ready to launch .nyc website by September. This will allow locals to represent NYC, inspire others and become a part of history.

The Future of Commuting 

 

Coming to a smartphone near you in 2015 is an app designed to make commuting easier than you could imagine. The app, made for Metro-North and LIRR trains will allow you to bypass long ticket lines and purchase through your phone or tablet instead. Price stays the same, and all you have to do is show it to the conductor.

 

The free app comes with no service charge and is being created by the London and New York-based app company Masabi. Masabi already sells online tickets for the Boston transit system and Nassau Country buses, with about 25% of Boston commuters using the app.

 

The MTA board has approved $2 million to begin the project with the hope of launching in 2015. To learn more, visit here.
