Evolve Customer Care with Collaboration

Using collaboration technology to improve customer service gives your company an
opportunity to evolve beyond traditional service models to create better
customer relationships. While the telephone will always be an option, many

also part of the norm.

Darlene Storm: Software updates for lifesaving medical devices found tainted with malware


When it comes to security, one of the scariest things out there sounds like
science fiction and pertains to hacking implantable medical devices. They
are vulnerable to lethal attacks and there are continued warnings that
exploiting these wireless medical devices will eventually cost someone their
life. Here's a slightly different take on the scenario; you've heard
of drive-by-downloads that can infect a machine with malware without
the user agreeing to the automatic download, but how about healthcare serving up
malware in software updates for medical devices such as ventilators?

The sad thing is, there's a logic to this

It's a few years back, and this IT shop has taken advantage of the company's
long holiday break to convert the email system to Outlook -- and to make it
easier on users, there's a 'leave-behind' on every user's desk, explaining what
was done, how to access Outlook, and some other tips. But that won't necessarily
help.
