TakeDownCon Rocket City 2014


Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) April 28, 2014

The EC-Council Foundation is bringing this globally recognized hacking and offensive cyber security conference to Huntsville for the second year in partnership with Dynetics, the premier sponsor and host. The event will be held on Aug. 18-19, along with a pre-conference training academy Aug. 14-17, in the Dynetics Solutions Complex at 1004 Explorer Blvd. in Cummings Research Park.

As a Microsoft MVP, Januszkiewicz was chosen for having a “unique set of skills and passion” around Microsoft technologies and is recognized for her contributions to online and technical communities. The speaker’s many Microsoft certifications include MCITP, MCTS, MCSE and MCDBA. At the TakeDownCon conference, she will cover “Adventures in Underland: What Password Do When No One is Watching.”

Januszkiewicz, who is also CEO and founder of CQURE, has spoken at numerous well-known conferences such as TechEd North America, TechEd Europe, TechEd Middle East, RSA, TechDays and CyberCrime, and she writes extensively on Windows security. She is the security architect on IDesign, a team of world-class security architects, and her company, CQURE, works on a range of security-related issues and projects. She has conducted hundreds of IT security audits and penetration tests, including some for governmental organizations. Januszkiewicz is co-author of a book about the Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010 and is currently working on a second book.

Eric Lopez, EC-Council’s Director of Conferences and Events, said, “We are excited to work with Dynetics again this year to bring to Huntsville some of the most well-known and highly respected experts in the field of cyber security. Paula is one of the most admired in the field, particularly with her specialty in Microsoft security. We were pleased with the response last year to our first conference in Huntsville, with 230 conference attendees and 70 pre-conference training participants. We had great speakers and a number of them are returning. We’re fortunate to have Paula as one of our new speakers for 2014.”

The Rocket City TakeDownCon will deliver a comprehensive analysis of cyber security through EC-Council’s industry-leading training and thought-provoking keynotes in two focused tracks, “Attack” and “Defense,” featuring a variety of instructors and speakers.

“The line-up of speakers at this year’s Rocket City TakeDownCon is remarkable and not yet complete,” said Dynetics Chief Technical Officer Tom Baumbach. “We look forward to another successful conference.” For more information about the event and the current lineup of speakers, visit http://www.takedowncon.com/.

BBB Warning: Microsoft Ends Support of XP

BBB Warning: Microsoft Ends Support of XP











Arlington, VA (PRWEB) April 07, 2014

Microsoft Corporation is no longer providing support for Windows XP, and Better Business Bureau is warning consumers and businesses that they need to take immediate steps to secure their computers and data.

Starting April 8, 2014, the company will not provide technical support or security updates for the 12-year-old XP operating system, or for its Office 2003 software suite (which includes Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.). This means users will become more vulnerable to computer viruses and malware. Some security experts have speculated that scammers are waiting to launch XP attacks after support ends, so there may be an increase in malware activity in the coming weeks and months.

Better Business Bureau is offering consumers and businesses the following tips:


Determine whether or not your computer operating system can be upgraded. Microsoft offers extensive information and the Windows Upgrade Assistant on its website at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/end-of-support.aspx.

Older computers likely will not be able to run Windows 8, the latest version of the operating system. You may want to look at upgrading to an earlier version such as Windows 7, which is still be supported by the company.

If you can’t update your operating system at all, you should think about replacing your computer. It would be a good idea to disconnect your computer from the Internet so that you are not vulnerable to malware.

Back up all files, documents, photos, etc. onto an external drive, flash drive or a cloud storage site prior to upgrading your operating system or migrating your files to a new computer.

After April 8, if you are still on Windows XP, do not click on any links or pop-ups on your computer that claim to be from Microsoft support; they may be from scammers. Go directly to Microsoft’s website for information on how to upgrade your system.

BBB offers businesses its free Data Security – Made Simpler, a step-by-step manual to help businesses take proactive steps to secure their data and strengthen trust with their customers. “Safeguard privacy,” including protecting customer data, is one of the eight BBB Standards for Trust that accredited businesses must pledge to uphold.

Microsoft Grants $ 7.5 Million in Software and Technology to Youth Villages; Grant Boosts Technology for At-Risk Children










Memphis, Tenn. (PRWEB) April 24, 2013

Microsoft has awarded a grant of $ 7.5 million in software and technology to Youth Villages, one of the nation’s largest providers of help to children with emotional and behavioral problems and their families.

The grant is part of Microsoft’s YouthSpark initiative, which is designed to create opportunities for 300 million youth around the world. It will provide software and support on Youth Villages’ residential campuses, supply technology for young adults being helped through its transitional living program and improve the organization’s internal and external communications systems.

“Microsoft is one of our most important partners,” said Patrick Lawler, Youth Villages CEO. “Since 1997, their generosity has allowed us to provide the best computer technology to our kids. This grant means Microsoft’s total support of Youth Villages’ children comes to nearly $ 13 million, which has helped our youth learn computer skills and allowed us to support our staff with modern clinical records and office technology.”

Microsoft YouthSpark is a global initiative committed to create opportunities for 300 million youth in more than 100 countries over the next three years. This companywide initiative includes company programs that empower youth to imagine and realize their full potential by connecting them with greater opportunities for education, employment and entrepreneurship.

The grant allows children receiving help at schools on Youth Villages’ residential campuses to use the latest Microsoft software and curriculum to improve their computer literacy and learn the fundamentals of word processing, spreadsheets, the Internet and presentations. Youth Villages’ residential campuses are located in Memphis and Linden, Tenn., Atlanta, Boston and Portland, Ore.

Young adults in the Youth Villages transitional living program in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Massachusetts, Mississippi and North Carolina use computers powered by Microsoft to study for their GED certificates, apply for colleges, prepare resumes and search for and apply for their first jobs.

“Microsoft’s continued support allows us to do our best work for children and families,” said Anne Coggin, director of education at Youth Villages. “For our kids, the computer lab is a wonder, offering diverse learning opportunities and a ticket to becoming technologically literate, something that will be crucial for their success as adults.”

The grant also provides the technology to enhance internal and external communications systems for more than 2,700 Youth Villages staff members who perform critical functions each day, such as accessing medical records, documenting treatment plans and reporting to parents and referral partners. Youth Villages’ counselors, teachers and staff will help more than 20,000 children and families this year from 67 offices throughout the country.

“Through YouthSpark, we’ve made a commitment to provide opportunities for youth to succeed in today’s competitive marketplace,” said Marietta Davis, general manager of Microsoft’s Greater Southeast District. “The Youth Villages grant will give at-risk youth the technology and training critical to success in the technology economy. I’ve been so impressed with the organization that I joined its national board of directors last year.”
