New Edition of Managing Front Office Operations Features Online Component
Lansing, Michigan (PRWEB) February 01, 2013
The American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (EI), a leader in hospitality training and educational resources, has published the ninth edition of its best-selling textbook, Managing Front Office Operations. Written by Michael L. Kasavana, Ph.D., NAMA Endowed Professor of Hospitality Business at Michigan State University, this textbook provides an in-depth look at management of the front office and how this department interacts with other hotel departments to create a memorable guest service experience.
The ninth edition features a new section on payment card industry (PCI) compliance. It also features hundreds of small but important changes throughout the book to reflect today’s new computer, Internet, self-service, and telephone technologies.
Because the front office is such an important part of any hospitality operation, Managing Front Office Operations is a required course in several of EI’s curricula, including the Rooms Division Area of Specialization, International Hotel Management Area of Specialization, Hospitality Fundamentals Program, Hospitality Operations Certificate, and Hospitality Management Diploma.
As with the previous eighth edition, this textbook is available with an online component, the Front Office Manager program. This program puts learners in control as they explore the many tasks and responsibilities of working a hotel’s front office. The 10-hour, interactive, online program outlines the interactions between the front office and other hotel departments that are required to create a positive guest experience.

Awareness Technologies Releases Additional Data Loss Prevention Features
Awareness Technologies Releases Additional Data Loss Prevention Features
Westport, CT (PRWEB) June 26, 2013
Awareness Technologies, Inc. (ATI), the only provider of Complete Insider Threat Security On Demand, today announced it has released an advanced Windows Client with robust new Data Loss Prevention (DLP) features. With InterGuard’s patented Single Agent architecture, organizations can now monitor, discover, and prevent data loss and leakage in Webmail attachments – such as Gmail, and Yahoo Mail – as well as monitor and record Skype messages. The new upgrade, which is free to ATI’s current DLP customers, further sets the bar for organizations and resellers looking for complete data leakage prevention.
InterGuard’s popular end-point security suite includes Data Loss Prevention, PC & mobile device monitoring, web filtering, and lost laptop recovery. The new enhancements for DLP now include the ability to scan Webmail attachments for File Type and Alert Words in the attachment’s content. This is significant because prior to this release, Webmail attachments could not be scanned by traditional appliance and software-based DLP solutions. Using InterGuard’s unique endpoint architecture, an organization’s security team can now block and/or report data transfers for computers, whether on or off network. InterGuard’s tiny stealth client, which is always on and working, will prevent the movement of protected file types and sensitive content even if the computer is not connected to the Internet.
According to Brad Miller, CEO of Awareness Technologies, “Unlike appliance-based DLP solutions, InterGuard’s end point security suite works both on and off network as well as if not connected to the Internet.”
There are more than 450 million users of Google’s Gmail. In the past six months, more than 60 million Microsoft customers have converted from Hotmail to Outlook.com. Besides the potential personal use of Webmail by employees, many companies are now migrating their corporate email to a cloud-based solution, and adopting cloud- based storage and apps such as Google Docs. Webmail presents a risk of data loss from behind the corporate firewall because employees can easily send large files with potential confidential company information. Users with company laptops also present a threat when they move off the corporate network. While a company can easily monitor attachments in traditional corporate email clients, webmail monitoring has long been a problem. Now organizations can monitor attachments sent by an employee’s Webmail as easily as they can those in Exchange or other desktop email clients.
Awareness Technologies is the pioneer in Unified Insider Threat Prevention. Awareness Technologies’ true cloud-based service is easily available and affordable for businesses of any size. Awareness Technologies uniquely protects users at the endpoint by offering multiple best-in-class technologies including PC and Mobile device monitoring, Web Filtering, Data Loss Prevention and Laptop Recovery, through one tiny agent download and one control console.
Awareness Technologies was named one of the Top 20 Cloud Security Vendors in 2011 by CRN and is a member of the Ingram Micro Managed Services and Cloud Computing Seismic program, which offers education, training, and vendor support. Awareness Technologies has been named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, Inc. 5000, and Software 500 lists. Awareness Technologies’ consumer product, WebWatcher for PCs, is the most recent winner of PC Magazine’s Editors’ Choice for Web Monitoring.

Redesigned Cash.org Site Goes Live With Sleek Features
Tulsa, Oklahoma (PRWEB) December 02, 2011
With the financial crisis still affecting jobs and salaries, Americans all over the country are finding themselves facing harsh economic realities. With unforeseen expenses arising from medical bills, car payments, overdraft and late fees and other debts, more and more people need help to rein in their finances. With the re-launch of the updated Cash.org, consumers now have a quick and easy way to take out payday loans from the security of their own home. With a fast, short-term cash loan, consumers can pay off outstanding bills and regain financial independence.
“Cash.org is always improving on the payday loan process,” says Cash.org spokesperson David Wexler. “Added security features, free educational resources, and perhaps best of all, a sleek and easy application, make getting a payday loan from Cash.org easier than ever.”
Cash.org offers a simple, secure way to get instant pre-approval for a cash loan. Potential borrowers are directed to a short application form, which takes just a couple minutes to fill out. From there they can review and compare lenders and their terms, without any obligation or fee.
Once a lender is chosen and a contract signed, the borrower will have their money directly deposited into their bank account, usually within 24 hours. Repayment is automatic, meaning there is never any worry about checking a calendar to mail a payment. The money is simply taken right out of the selected bank account. The entire process takes just a few moments, and all that is required is access to a computer with a secure Internet connection.
Getting a fast cash loan requires no credit check. This means even those with bad credit can take advantage of these convenient loans. The amount borrowed, ranging from $ 100 to $ 1,500, is entirely up to the user too.
Of course, speed and ease are important, but with the redesign of the application process, Cash.org has also added more robust security features. Using the latest in Internet security software, users can feel safe that any and all personal information will be 100 percent secure on the website.
There is no need to travel across town or spend time and gas money to get to a lender’s office. With Cash.org, consumers have all the options they need right at their fingertips. In these difficult financial times, Cash.org offers an easy and reliable means to pay off bills and to get out of debt.
