This document discusses mobile security for businesses. It begins by noting that mobile devices present new security risks that companies often only address reactively after a breach. However, mobile security allows businesses to capitalize on opportunities from mobile applications if done properly. The document then provides an overview of common mobile security threats like malware, privacy issues, and social engineering. It concludes by offering a 7-step checklist for better mobile security practices that IT administrators can implement, including securing devices with passwords and preparing phone location/remote wipe services.

Omlis Data Breaches Report - An Inside Perspective Omlis
The rise in digital and mobile financial services has introduced an onset of increased data breaches over the last few years. The digital revolution has undermined the traditional framework used to regulate financial institutions, which has led to areas of vulnerability within their security systems.
In the report, Data Breaches: An Inside Perspective, Omlis conducted in-depth interviews with experienced cyber security professionals to understand why TFIs (traditional financial institutions) aren't adequately addressing security weaknesses.
In our research, the discussions centered on the types of security systems employed by TFIs, personal and industry-wide attitudes to security, and the types of security measures used to prevent breaches.
The findings indicate that TFIs current preference towards technology creates an increasingly complex system with associated vulnerabilities and ultimately it requires greater manual input for maintenance and updates.
There are also issues related to the attitudes of employees and difficulties implementing comprehensive and in-depth incident strategies.
Taking this into account, the report suggests a new direction for TFI's security systems to provide secure, innovative solutions.

The continued expansion of file-based, business-critical information within extended enterprises is changing the storage dynamic in a wide range of industries and organizations. In a series of interviews with U.S. and European enterprises, IDC found that companies are increasing their file-based storage by 40% to 120% a year and place a high priority on boosting the efficiency and reliability of their management processes for file-based information. IDC research indicates that unstructured, filebased data drove a majority of new storage capacity in all organizations' datacenters in 2008 and projects this growth to accelerate, in spite of current economic conditions. By 2012, over 75% of new storage capacity shipped will be dedicated to the storage, organization, and protection of files.

Enterprise Mobility Applications: Addressing a Growing GapBlackBerry
This new report on enterprise mobility applications highlights the alarming gap between Central IT and line-of-business IT environments. Millennials in particular are showing signs of growing frustration with the devices and software tools available to support them in the workplace. Many are making their own mobility arrangements, through ‘shadow IT’, despite growing regulatory risk. The advent of the ‘Internet of Things’ will further exacerbate the situation as mobile staff seek access to real time data from their phones and tablets.
Our recent survey of over 100 financial service organizations, conducted by Forbes Insights in the UK and North America, indicates that despite current business and employee demand, enterprise mobile applications remain at a very early stage of maturity, with less than a quarter of employees eligible to access such facilities. The implications here are profound, given the need to support mobile working with appropriate tools in every sphere of corporate activity today.
Many employees complain that the only advance over the last ten years has been to ‘mobilize the laptop’. This merely emulates the traditional desktop environment outside the office. Set against this stark background of underperformance in the mobility area, Central IT appears to be preoccupied with legacy issues such as costly infrastructures and aging systems. Our survey reveals that despite having developed policies and tools to address enterprise mobility, Central IT has little visibility of what is actually going on within the lines of business or at the end user level.
Nor does it have the necessary resources currently to respond rapidly to the growing pressures for workplace mobility. External agencies appear to be stepping in to fill this gap, frequently circumventing Central IT. Mobility remains low on the Central IT agenda.

Research by AVG shows that although most small businesses understand the need to protect their IT systems, fewer are willing to put it into practice. Out of 2000 SMBs surveyed in the US and UK for the "SMB Landscape Report", more than half (52%) have no IT security guidelines for their staff, while 1 in 7 have no Internet security software or solutions in place at all.
While regulatory actions and the move to SaaS has added complexity to keeping enterprise IT secure, new technologies such as AI and DevSecOps offer new forms of relief.
The SolarWinds hack, first detected in December 2020 and referred to as “the largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen” by the president of Microsoft, was a watershed moment in cybersecurity. Hundreds of organizations, including Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, were affected, with sensitive data compromised. A year on, a major study conducted by Splunk has found that 78% of companies expect the same thing to happen again.

Vision Critical has conducted this research to assess how medium and large Canadian businesses would benefit if they adopted a cloud-based, virtually managed network service. In order to understand this issue, the current study aims to evaluate the extent to which these businesses can save time, money and resources by upgrading their old, legacy network technology with cloud-based, virtually managed network solutions.
Workplace technology is top of mind for the businesses we work with, so we set out to uncover how Canadians feel about the tools, policies and environment they work in today.
More than 80 per cent of Canadians have watched three or more TV episodes or two movies back-to-back this year, according to the latest Rogers Innovation Report, released today.
Data roaming: The mobile habits of Canadians travelling in the U.S.Rogers Communications
The majority of Canadians – 70 per cent, according to a national survey conducted by Head Research for Rogers – want to keep using their smartphones after they cross the border.
Nomophobia on the rise in Canada: Majority of Canadian smartphone owners sleep next to their device and expect to be even more connected in 2013
What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed? Over half of Canadians reach for their smartphones.
Rogers Communications and Vision Critical came together to study the habits of Canadians, their views on technology, and to determine the trends we’ll be seeing in 2013. As we ring in the New Year, more and more, Canadians are becoming attached to their smartphones. Whether for business or personal use, these mobile devices bring the content they need right into their hands almost immediately. In the latest Rogers Innovation Report, Canadians are increasingly experiencing Nomophobia, the state of stress caused by being away from your smartphone. As many as 65 per cent of Canadians have admitted to feeling naked without their smartphone that one time they head out the door, forgetting their device on the nightstand or kitchen counter.
The Report also revealed over half of Canadian respondents said they increased the amount of TV and movies they watched over the Internet in 2012 – nearly half (43%) say they have watched Gangnam Style since it was released. Cloud services are predicted to become more commonplace and working from home will become more popular as mobile networks become faster. The majority of Canadians feel that wireless network speeds have improved in the last year and by 2017, almost half expect to save at least two hours a day by using faster home and mobile Internet.

Rogers 2011- Rapport annuel sur la responsabilité sociale d'entrepriseRogers Communications
Notre engagement à l'égard de l'environnement, des organismes sans but lucratif et de nos clients.
Chez Rogers, nous sommes constamment à la recherche de moyens d’améliorer notre rendement et de faire ce qu’il y a de mieux pour l’environnement, l’économie et la société. Que ce soit en trouvant de nouvelles façons de réduire notre empreinte environnementale, grâce à la modification de nos systèmes d'éclairage ou à la diminution des charges de nos véhicules pour qu'ils consomment moins de carburant, en réduisant les déchets dans nos bureaux, en investissant dans nos collectivités par l'entremise de dons en espèces ou en offrant gratuitement du temps d'antenne aux organismes de bienfaisance afin qu’ils puissent promouvoir leur cause, Rogers fait de son mieux pour redonner aux collectivités qu’elle dessert.
Nous avons publié la semaine dernière notre plus récent rapport annuel sur la responsabilité sociale d'entreprise, qui souligne nos succès et nos défis en matière de durabilité écologique au cours de la dernière année. En voici quelques faits saillants :
Nous avons réduit notre utilisation interne de papier de 19 % et fait passer le nombre de nos clients qui reçoivent une facture électronique de 25 % à 35 %.
Nous imprimons tous les magazines des Éditions Rogers sur du papier certifié par le Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Nous avons détourné 2 557 tonnes de déchets provenant des bureaux et 375 tonnes de produits liés aux télécommunications et aux TI des sites d’enfouissement, des augmentations respectives de 11 % et de 57 % comparativement à 2010.
Nous avons versé plus de 71 millions de dollars en espèces et en dons en nature à des organismes de bienfaisance enregistrés et à des organismes sans but lucratif. Cette somme a, entre autres, permis le lancement en 2011 du Fonds pour la jeunesse de Rogers, notre nouvelle stratégie de dons visant à appuyer les jeunes Canadiens à risque et à contribuer à leur développement par l'éducation.
L’engagement de nos employés atteint les plus hauts niveaux, grâce à d’excellents outils de communication, à des canaux de rétroaction, à un programme national de bien-être et à notre culture inclusive.
Nos nouveaux outils et processus de résolution de problèmes répondent mieux aux besoins des clients quant à leurs principaux facteurs de mécontentement. Rogers est également la seule entreprise de télécommunications au pays à avoir un ombudsman.
Nos clients peuvent aussi participer à cet effort! Inscrivez-vous à la facturation électronique ou donnez votre ancien appareil dans le cadre de notre programme Échange Cellu-Bouffe, vous contribuerez ainsi à réduire les déchets ainsi que notre empreinte environnementale.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

What are the main advantages of using HR recruiter services.pdfHumanResourceDimensi1
HR recruiter services offer top talents to companies according to their specific needs. They handle all recruitment tasks from job posting to onboarding and help companies concentrate on their business growth. With their expertise and years of experience, they streamline the hiring process and save time and resources for the company.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Changing the Traditional Security Mindset
If you drive down certain country roads in rural Canada, you may be occasionally greeted by a
sign that says “ACCIDENT – It’s Only A Word Until It Happens.” You could say the same thing
about the way most companies treat IT security.
When data is compromised and customer information makes its way into criminal hands,
or viruses temporarily shut down operations, most organizations are quick to respond. They
will consult the experts, conduct a post-mortem. The larger ones will hire or appoint a chief
security officer, if they don’t already have one. Smaller ones may undergo in-depth security
training and purchase expensive software to protect themselves. Security strategies are never
more thorough than when they are reactive.
The advent of mobile computing, which began with laptops but which is quickly moving to
smart phones and tablets, presents the dire possibility that history will repeat itself – that
companies will wait until something terrible happens involving a mobile device before taking
steps that could prevent the worst from happening. Yet much has been learned from IT
security trends that first surfaced in the PC era that can be applied to mobility, and there are
many security experts who are quick to point out the safeguards as well as the vulnerabilities
inherent in most mobile devices.
From CRM to authorizations to business intelligence, mobile applications help organizations
better support on-the-go workforces and engage more effectively with customers. Security
allows us to capitalize on these opportunities.
IT World Canada and Rogers have had the benefit of talking with countless CIOs, IT managers
and technical staff who are already investigating these issues. The smartest people among this
group see security as a way to move business forward, rather than a series of “no’s” which
create a barrier to innovation. They see good IT security as a way of making the business
case – of arguing, for example, that a company can allow more choice of mobile device to
employees and greater use of software that extends their capabilities across geographies.
We also have the benefit of our affiliation with other members of the International Data Group
(IDG) News Service who report on these issues, and the joint research projects we conduct to
probe these issues in greater detail. This white paper brings together all these resources to help
articulate a realistic vision of how mobile security needs to be considered, in a way that allows
IT departments to be positive contributors to their company’s business objectives.

Highlights of the 2010 CIO Security Survey
Mobility is only one aspect of a challenging slew of IT security issues facing companies of
all sizes. In order to hone in on the ways potential threats around mobile devices can be
addressed, it’s important to understand how CIOs, IT managers and other technology staff
are setting their priorities and allocating the resources available to them. The approach
of these enterprises can be an early indication of how SMBs will likely deal with the same
problems.
Every year IT World Canada, in cooperation with our International Data Group affiliates in
90 countries around the world, conducts an in-depth research survey of chief information
officers focused on security. Here are some key findings from that research.1
Endpoints Enter The Picture
Although most CIOs see their security budgets remaining flat or enjoying very moderate
growth in 2011, the top five technologies they invest in to protect corporate data include end
user firewalls, biometrics, data leakage protection, locks and keys for computer hardware
and encryption for removable data. This last area is of obvious importance as more users
plug USB keys into their laptops while out of the office. We expect that more mobile-specific
security tools – which are already being released by the likes of Symantec, McAfee and other
major players – to join this list in 2012.
Pressure Trumps Policy As Investment Driver
When we asked CIOs why they invest in the security technologies they do, the most-cited
answer was “legal and regulatory requirement,” which has probably been true ever since
Sarbanes-Oxley, legislation to protect against the kind of accounting scandals perpetuated
by the likes of Enron and WorldCom, was enacted. “Client requirement” came second, but
“professional judgement” came third, followed by “common industry practice” or “potential
liability or exposure.”

The survey results, which are obtained in collaboration with consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, include more than
12,000 responses, including a small portion from Canada.

Top SPENDING “JUSTIFICATIONS” IN 2010 2007 2008 2009 2010
1. Legal & regulatory requirement 58% 47% 43% 43%
2. Client requirement 34% 31% 34% 41%
3. Professional judgment 45% 46% 40% 40%
4. Potential liability / exposure 49% 40% 37% 38%
5. Common industry practice 42% 37% 34% 38%
6. Risk reduction score 36% 31% 31% 30%
7. Potential revenue impact 30% 27% 26% 27%
It may be that, as new security threats continue to proliferate (particularly on mobile devices),
it is becoming so difficult for IT administrators to keep up that they lack confidence in their
professional judgement. If the main drivers of good security practices come from outside
forces, however, it’s hard to imagine protection of company data as anything other than a
chore. It should be the goal of an IT department – or an organization as a whole – to be
more self-directed in this area, as part of an overall strategy for business growth.
In terms of cybercrime’s impact, financial loss is the No. 1 worry, followed by intellectual
property theft and compromising one’s brand or reputation. All this suggests that security
continues to be driven by costs, but perhaps there’s another way to look at this. Good
security not only prevents financial loss, but allows companies to grow revenue through the
ability to capitalize on new opportunities through technology – in other words, mobility.

Built-in benefits of Mobile Security
Some senior executives are immediately worried about arming their employees with devices
that allow, in effect, for sensitive business information to walk out the door. What they may
not realize is that mobile devices have some advantages over their desktop predecessors
– advantages that may not last forever but can, for the moment at least, offer some
justification for further mobile investments.
1. OS variety: Unlike PCs, which were dominated by Windows, mobile devices run on
multiple platforms, limiting the ability for malware to infect all phones. Although some
businesses may prefer to standardize on one platform to simplify support, consumers are
bringing in a plethora of other devices, creating challenges in IT departments as well as
this benefit.
2. Mobile architectures: These tend to be more closed than their PC counterparts, with
limited access to documentation and debugging tools, making it more difficult (at least
initially) to identify the vulnerabilities necessary for malware to propagate.
3. Apps stores: RIM’s BlackBerry App World, iTunes App Store and those offering apps
for Android devices present the most popular or, in some cases, the only avenue for
deploying new software on mobile devices. This limits the ability of a worm to propagate
by directly installing executable code on a mobile device. It also adds a layer of review
that software is subject to before it can be deployed on a device.

Emerging Threat Vectors
Even experts can’t agree on how big the security issues around mobile devices are.
Mformation, which provides mobile device management technology, commissioned
researchers Vanson Bourne to survey more than 300 IT managers across North America and
the U.K., and found that 78 percent of respondents don’t know what devices are connected
to the corporate network.
Seventy-six percent said that employee-owned mobile devices are creating security
headaches, while only 56 percent said they would be able to secure a device that has been
lost or stolen.
Others worry that the range of devices will make patch management much more difficult,
and that developers aren’t doing enough to build security into their applications. So far, some
of the biggest holes include the following:
Social networking: A study from Google showed that almost one quarter of users who
fell for a recent scam on a social network did so from their mobile device.
Games: Monkey Jump and other games are being illegally copied and repackaged with
code designed to steal personal info (source: Lookout Mobile Security).
Malware: Gemini, botnet-like malware built to lift and transmit personal data from a
user’s phone and ship it to a remote server, surfaced late in 2010.
There is perhaps no bigger threat, however, than employees. This has always been true in the
desktop era, but mobility potentially increases the amount of danger individual staff can do
to a company’s data.
The “consumerization” of IT, for example, means that staff are becoming responsible for
purchasing their own devices – and aren’t always telling their IT company about what
they’re doing with them. Loss or theft of devices means greater access to business as well as
personal data. Internal threats from rogue or ex-employees are heightened by the range of
applications and functions available through mobile phones – and weak security procedures.

Types of threats
Once you’ve identified the biggest areas where security can be compromised, you need to
know what those compromises will look like. They can be broken down into three main
categories:
1. Traditional malware: Applications such as rogue dialers, which will send SMSes to
premium-rate numbers owned by the fraudsters. Other threats include worms spread
by communication protocols such as Bluetooth. Major security firms such as Symantec,
McAfee and Trend Micro are all beginning to offer specific anti-virus software to assist
mobile users.
2. Privacy, data collection issues: Mobile applications can also have other privacy-related
risks such as collecting, transmitting or storing data. Advertising networks and mobile
application developers are often highly interested in metrics around how and where
people are using their applications. Data may include information identifying a specific
device, with users unaware they are being tracked. Companies should not only work
hard to understand what apps employees are using but be prepared to conduct a privacy
impact assessment and offer training on the privacy vulnerabilities to employees.
3. Social engineering: Just like on desktops and laptops, fraud doesn’t have to involve a
technical trick. Phishing -- the practice of using a fake website to trick users into revealing
sensitive information -- is as much or more of a threat on mobile devices. People often
trust their mobile device more than their computer and are therefore more vulnerable to
phishing. Many firms will need to update their security policies and training programs to
educate their users on these expanded risks and provide examples of what such phishing
sites or e-mails might look like.

7 Steps to Better Mobile Security:
An IT Administrator’s Checklist
Armed with this background data, what can you do today to begin creating a culture of
mobile security? As always, it all starts with training and education. Get your coworkers
focused on these common sense (but often overlooked) areas.
1. Secure Your Device with a Password: All major smartphone platforms have built-in
password options, and the majority of newer feature-phones, or non-smartphones, also
offer some sort of password protection. Mandate that employees break out their phone’s
user guide or search for it by model number online and help them to assign a password.
2. Make Mobile-Phone Backup a Priority−and a Habit: Whatever the application, it’s
wise to get in the habit of backing up smartphones every time an employee plugs it into
their computer--or more often if they rarely connect their handhelds and PCs. Many
desktop sync programs let you set some sort of “automatic backup option so your device
backs itself up whenever connected to your PC, without any effort on your part. If a
company already has a backup policy in place for desktops, it should be a relatively simple
matter to extend this to the mobile space.
3. Add Owner Info to a Phone’s Locked Home Screen: Including lost-phone-reward
info helps ensure that whoever finds a phone will also have a way to get in touch with
users to return it, should the person be so inclined, as well as an incentive, if the company
or employee decides to offer up a reward. Depending on the kind of data that may be
stored on a device, it could be well be worth compensating someone to turn a device in.
Once again, instruct employees to hit up their mobile phone’s user guide or search online
to see if their specific device has a built-in option to add owner information or a reward
offer--something like: If found, please dial 555.555.5555 for a $50 reward.

4. Keep List of “Emergency” Contacts Away from Phone: Train your mobile workforce
to make a quick list of important contact people or companies and tuck it away in a
wallet or purse--preferably somewhere away from their cell phones, so they’re less likely
to lose the emergency contact list along with their phone.
Sample contacts to include: A significant other; nearby friends or family; the IT
department’s help desk or IT contact, if they are using a corporate-issued phone; AAA or
other roadside assistance organization; their wireless carrier’s customer information line,
should they need to freeze their account; etc.
5. Prepare Phone-Location and Remote-Wipe Services: Depending on the specific
mobile phone model, it may be possible to purchase and/or employ some sort of cell-
phone tracking service to locate lost mobile phones (ie., MobileMe, BlackBerry Protect).
Some of these offerings also allow users to remotely wipe information from their device.
6. Reduce Sensitive Info, Apps Stored on Your Device
No files named “passwords”.
No storing of payment information.
Reduce the number of one-click purchase icons.
7. Encrypt or Protect Data Stored on Media Card: If users aren’t asked to encrypt or
otherwise protect the information stored on their media card, a malicious party could
simply remove the card from their locked and secured device and access its data from a
compatible card reader, like another smartphone or a PC.

Creating a Culture of Mobile Security
Security should be a force of positive motivation, rather than negative necessary evil. It’s
motivating because good security is key to winning customer’s trust, which is becoming the
currency most valued by customers who perform more and more of their transactions online,
from their mobile devices.
All organizational cultures are somewhat unique, but there are standard techniques that may
help to determine the best way to not only get IT security on the radar of mobile employees,
but to turn it into something they consider a shared company value.
1. Conduct a self-assessment of your traditional IT security posture in the PC/desktop
world and identify the gaps. How can these be addressed in the mobile environment?
2. Determine your organization’s risk appetite – what is necessary for business growth
and what poses a threat to customer or partner relationships?
3. Recognize and recruit mobile security champions or ambassadors among tech-
savvy employees – delegate some of the messaging and communication to those who
have the respect and authority among their peers
The advice in this white paper does not guarantee that you’ll never face security issues due to
mobile devices. It can, however, be the first step towards turning security into something that
gets in the way to the most logical way forward.
