Presentation: Four Truths About Social Media and Finance
Presented by: Ben Cathers, Social Media Manager, Lightspeed Financial
It's where your customers are: Every single day, your customers are on some type of social media. And chances are, they are doing something finance related. From asking for advice on financial social media sites, to sharing the latest good and bad news about your company to their friends, your customers are connected more to your brand more than you think
It's where your customers research you: Your customers are getting smarter - social media enables them to be. Every day, your customers are researching your brand on social media sites and using that information as a definitive way to make a decision. Your presence on these sites is more important than ever.
It's what your customers want: Your customers want to interact with you via social media. Whether its through Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin or Youtube, or your own internal user community, your customers allow your brand into their personal inbox. They want to interact with your brand. They will allow you into their personal social inbox. Embrace it!
Its where your employees are: Your employees are on facebook. And that brings up a whole host of legal and regulatory issues. Ever have an employee talk about a stock on their personal facebook or twitter page? That could lead to potential issue. Having a social media policy is no longer a "nice to have". It's now as standard as any other legal document.

How to Build a Billion Dollar SaaS Category - Achievers Tech Talks Feb 2014Mark Organ
Why just a build a company when you can create a whole new category instead? That’s the question that Influitive founder and CEO Mark Organ explored in his packed Achievers Tech Talk discussion on Feb 18, 2014.
Here’s one really good reason: category creators tend to grow revenue 4x faster and grow market cap 6x faster than those companies that enter a category later on.
Based on Mark’s experience building marketing automation category creator Eloqua, what he’s learned so far as Influitive (http://influitive.com) carves out a brand new category – advocate marketing – a little over a decade later, and his observations on why other powerful category creators, including Salesforce.com, Tesla and Keurig, have been so successful, his presentation proposes a whole new framework for category creation.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks
