USB security, simple as 1-2-3

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you lost your USB memory stick? Do you have sensitive information on it? Maybe you don’t keep information there normally but for some reason had ‘temporarily’ put a file on it with your bank account number or credit card number. And it is still hanging around because you are too lazy to delete it or just forgot.  One of Lept Like A Blog’s friends, Business Coach Holly Hanson, presented to local small businesses her “10 steps for client attraction” at Associated Bank. During the same session, Audrey Engelbrecht, Assistant VP-Treasury Management, retold some recent, sad tales about fraud. Her message was that fraud is a growing threat particularly when it comes to credit card and bank account numbers. Especially in today’s economy, the temptation for ‘people in need’ that have access to your bank numbers and use them without your permission is greater than ever. Audrey highlighted one nifty device for foiling a thief to capture banking information off your USB stick. It is a USB cap with a combination locking mechansim. You insert your USB memory stick in the device, spin the tumblers, and feel secure until only you want to use it again. There are many varieties on-line even some memory sticks with the locking mechanism built in.

Pepsi bypasses SUPER bowl for Social Media

As an experiment in “Pepsi Generation”, pepsico opted out of its long running advertising campaign in the SUPER BOWL and instead ventured into some more interesting things in social media. You might not have the resources of Pepsi but social media can represent a new, inexpensive way to get the word out about your product or service. You can read one account of it here.
