Presentation
This document summarizes a presentation on cyber security challenges for small businesses in light of new privacy regulations. It provides key statistics on data breaches in Australia: the top five affected sectors; types of data lost; and causes of breaches. The presentation aims to help small businesses understand that cyber threats are real, no single technology can fully prevent risk, security starts with responsible data practices, all businesses collect valuable customer data, and building a simple checklist of basic security measures is important for compliance. It concludes by offering advice and assistance to small businesses in implementing protections.

Follow tips 1-5 to move applications and workloads to the cloud successfully by not migrating outdated assets, focusing business continuity on critical needs, understanding storage requirements and protected data, knowing auditing and certification needs for compliance, and narrowing service providers to streamline evaluation.
In Cloud We Trust
Countless studies have shown that cloud security is the major factor standing in the way of cloud adoption. Security is all-encompassing, referring to physical and network security, as well as compliance.
However, security in the cloud has finally turned a corner. Just as some companies currently have better in-house security than others, some cloud providers view security as a larger priority than others. What do we have to say about security? In cloud we trust!

Only a few key individuals should have access to a company's most critical data assets like databases, financial information, and intellectual property. Companies should implement strong access control procedures like frequent password changes and keep employee skills and data handling policies up to date to securely manage these high-value assets. The approach of giving everyone access does not work for protecting important corporate information.

Ethanol Corrosion NACE MP
The document discusses corrosion issues related to transporting ethanol in pipelines. It examines the properties of ethanol, including that it contains small amounts of acetic acid which is corrosive when combined with moisture. The acid reacts with materials to form hydrogen ions that can corrode pipelines. Proper material selection and corrosion inhibitors are needed to prevent corrosion during ethanol transportation. Carbon steel pipelines can be used if an effective inhibition program is implemented.

DemandForce is a communication and marketing tool that allows Keith Clinic to send automated appointment reminders, rescheduling options, and other messages to patients via text or email. It integrates with the clinic's patient management system to access appointment information. DemandForce keeps records of all patient interactions and aims to improve efficiency of communication with patients at scale. However, some criticisms of it include that the visual design is not very appealing and it does not allow direct scheduling through the platform.
Df5
DemandForce can benefit Keith Clinic by allowing them to efficiently and consistently communicate with their large patient base through automated text messages and emails. This communication can help increase patient referrals and clinic reviews. DemandForce also ensures the clinic's brand image remains consistent across all types of messages like referrals, birthdays, and appointment reminders. All patient communication is fully automated so that no patients in the database are missed.
Df3
DemandForce is integrated with the clinic's practice management system to automatically send email appointment reminders to patients using information from scheduled appointments. Patients can respond to the reminder emails to confirm or reschedule their appointments via text message. DemandForce maintains a database of all email interactions with patients, including confirmations and reschedulings, and can also be used to send additional emails regarding birthdays, social media, referrals, reviews, newsletters, and promotions.
Df2
DemandForce allows Keith Clinic to send automated appointment reminders and allow patients to reschedule via text messaging. Patients receive text reminders of upcoming appointments from DemandForce which is integrated with Eclipse, the practice management system. Patients can reply to the text to confirm or reschedule their appointment and DemandForce tracks responses in its database.
Df1
DemandForce is a SaaS communication and marketing tool that is fully automated. It allows users to easily create and send marketing communications like emails, text messages, and push notifications to customers and prospects. DemandForce aims to help businesses strengthen relationships with customers and drive growth through personalized and timely messaging.
Df4
DemandForce's communication is consistent but the visual design is not very appealing. While DemandForce and Eclipse are integrated, appointments cannot be directly scheduled through DemandForce. The document criticizes DemandForce for its lack of visual appeal and inability to directly schedule appointments through the platform.
Cybercrime 3
Cybercrime and regulations intended to increase security and prevent exploitation have resulted in numerous industry and government rules that businesses must comply with. While compliance can be burdensome, it aims to protect people and stop crime for the greater good. There are also benefits to complying with these regulations, such as improvements to business operations and management regardless of whether IT operations are on-premise or cloud-hosted.
Compliance
Audits are like dental checkups - they are rarely convenient but can prevent future problems. Having your IT systems audited helps maintain focus on critical areas and ensures compliance. It is better to always be "audit ready" through ongoing compliance efforts rather than scrambling just before an audit, which can be disruptive and mistake-prone. Organizations should make compliance a standard operating procedure and train staff accordingly.
Benjamin2
Ben Franklin would add cybercrime to the list of things certain in life along with death and taxes if he were alive today. Cybercrime has become a certainty in modern times. We now live in an age where cybercrime is an inevitable part of life.
Staying
Technology is advancing rapidly and cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated, meaning that the useful lifespan of IT systems is decreasing and traditional long refresh cycles no longer make sense from a security or competitive standpoint. It benefits organizations to more closely track new technologies and solutions and keep their infrastructure current with the best available protections in order to avoid blame if a security breach occurs due to outdated systems.

Important
- 1. It’s trite but true. Not all data or applications are created equal. Your business simply cannot live without some of them. Others are important but not business killers if they’re not available. None should be unimportant, but you could get by without them for a while. Many businesses have no idea what’s what. Compliance forces the issue by requiring you to prioritize the importance of data and applications so that adequate safeguards can be put in place. Having the correct access controls and policies, data encryption, back-up, storage and disaster recovery plans will make the business operate more efficiently, cost effectively and securely over the long run.
