Good day to you,

In celebration of the Valentine’s Day occasion we’re giving every member an additional 1000 points that can be used to claim many of the special Valentine’s gifts that were added to the virtual gifts section. We are sure you will find these gifts very useful and the additional points will allow you to use as many of them as you like. Visit our Social Network and take part in this offering here http://titssn.org

Enjoy the gifts and the Valentine’s Day cheer and spread the love.

Thank you and have a great day,

~Brett A. Scudder~

Good day to you,

Over the past few months we have been working more closely with our security vendors to align key support for our network members, partners and associates and we are happy to announce that we have completed the negotiations for this new initiative to make it viable, feasible and successful for all.

Starting in January 2010, TITSSN will take full responsibility for providing free or deeply discounted pricing for all vendor member security products within the network for its members. That’s right, you heard it correctly, we’re giving you free full versions of our vendor’s security solutions to secure and protect your systems. Not only are we providing the solutions, we are also providing the documentation for installing, configuring and using them. We know of the challenges being faced with these solutions where system resources are used up thus making the systems appear to be slow and so we’re going to support those issues for you as well. Our goal is to properly secure every members PCs so they can be safer and more secure on and offline no matter where they are.

Forget about license renewals and licensing issues, we will take care of all those for you and leave you to continue enjoying the secure benefits and use of your systems without these minor interruptions. There are certain restrictions to this offer as we are seeing people joining up and not actively participating in the network activities and developments. We will not be simply giving these solutions away to any signed up account, we will review the account and offer the solutions accordingly.

This offer is limited to home users only. We are working on a business version of this initiative that will provide much deeper volume discounts for the business. This is in the works and will be announced soon.

More details to come as we put this into effect and set all the parameters in place.

Thank you very much and have a great day. We apprecilove your business and support and look forward to serving you more.

Good day to you,

As a technology/IT Security services provider we are always striving to attain the highest levels of professional services, training, support and value for our members and in doing so, at times add additional incentives to the process(es). Our membership hosts some of the finest service providers in their various areas of business and services, and we are always finding ways of bringing the people who needs the services together with the people who deliver on them.

TITSSN is launching this new initiative to allow approved service providers to handle incident and service requests within the Social Network and be compensated for them. This new model will allow more people coming to our network for help and support to get the quality needed to enhance their business or personal needs. There are certain qualifications and restrictions as we must ensure that the proper understanding of what is being supported and offered is of the professional levels of quality and service. There are certain free services that will be offered of which will be documented and made publicly known.

Over the years we have built good relationships with our member service providers and in doing so, we have gotten to know them personally and professionally. These relationships have built trust and a common goal where we are all striving for the quality of services and support for our customers and clients. It is also a means of bringing the network together so that we can all build on the various areas of expertise and skillsets needed for securing tomorrow’s systems today. We have seen their business model, seen and heard their professional response, seen their hands-on skillset in effect, provided the needed training and education of/on specific vendor products and solutions and have collaborated with them across numerous projects. It is this level of value that will allow us to create the perfect working model for this initiative as we are able to identify key people with the needed professional abilities, skillset and ethics to represent our organization in supporting our Social Network community.

Services and support will range from,

Hardware sales, services and support
Software sales, services, implementation, support and training
Hands-on technical support on and offsite/offline
Technical training for your family, employees/staff and members
Specialized and customized training on specific vendor products/solutions
Knowledge transfer and relationship building
Web Infrastructure implementation, configuration and hosting (blogs, forums, websites, ecommerce)

Our services and support model doesn’t omit any one or any size organization or company, we support any and everyone with their technology and IT Security needs. All are invited to join our network and seek out the services and support that are provided.

Our Social Network is located at http://titssn.org

Good day to you,

Good day to you,

So it is here, finally and it is simply awesome. I must say that I am truly impressed by it and it couldn’t have come at a better time we are getting into the holiday seasons. There are so many promotions, ads and goodies floating round about the OS that it will become inundating to those who are very knowledgeable or aware of it and I can see an increase in fake copies, scams and other misleading issues.

So, let’s take a serious early look at this so that you can be prepared to deal with this new OS because I know you want it.

• Be sure to understand that you will lose settings and configuration if upgrading. You most likely have a system with an OS installed already so you have one of two choices. You either upgrade what you have to Win7 or you do a clean install which means wiping everything and having a brand new pristine install. The latter of course will require some technical knowledge to accomplish but will give a much cleaner, smoother and better experience after completion.
• Immediately after installing/upgrading to Windows 7, go to the Microsoft Updates site and grab all the high, critical and software updates. This must be done before doing anything else. Applying any new updates and patches is critical to the baseline security of the OS.
• Immediately after patching, check with your anti-virus vendor for support of Windows 7. You must not run the OS without proper anti-virus and anti-malware protection. Be sure the product says supports Windows 7 or you may run into problems or have some limitations. Remember that having the anti-virus solution isn’t everything, proper configuration of scheduling, scanning and remediation is also critical. This will require some technical knowledge of the solution and is worth consulting with someone on the technical side. This could be a friend, relative or someone you may know who is an IT professional.
• Be sure to check that you have enough system resources to support the OS. A good video card with 256MB of RAM minimum, 1GB of RAM and 40GB or hard drive space. Many times users install an OS and complain about performance issues and this is because they don’t have enough resources to manage or run it. Check your resources, this is very important to the functioning and operations of the OS and system.
• Check in with your application developers for updated versions that support Windows 7. Whatever applications you’re running, check the developer for support/compatibility. This should be done prior to even doing the install/upgrade as once done you can’t go back. If running current or older versions of applications, check to make sure you’re running the latest build/version that addresses any open security issues.
• Check in with your hardware vendors for updates firmware, drivers and other fixes for the hardware inside your PC.

Please stay away from free online offers of anti-virus and/or other security related products from unknown or untrusted sources as we’re seeing an increase in the availability of fake/rogue solutions being offered that seriously messes things up. Consult with a security advisor before making any decision to purchase security software for your Windows 7 build.

Now that you have this lovely new OS and is dying to start playing around with it, it would be prudent to take a look at the new features as there are quite a few and will take some learning and getting used to. The wording and placement of some options have changed. The most critical part to the successful user experience of security of this new system relies solely on your ability to use it and how educated and aware you are of the threats landscape today. Not because you have anti-virus/anti-malware solution installed doesn’t mean you will not be exposed or possibly infected unless you do your due diligence and best practices for safe browsing and messaging. Always keep in mind that you are the first line of attack and defense for your system(s) and it is how you choose to protect and defend it will lead to the success or failure.

We have opened our social network Microsoft Windows 7/Win7 Technical Support and Services Group to help with the adoption and security of the OS. Our IT Professionals will be happy to help.

We will continue to share best practices and guidelines as the new OS makes its way into mainstream society. If you’re deciding to go to this OS we advise an open dialog with someone on it before proceeding so the mentioned items can be properly explained and understood.

Thank you and have a great day,

~Brett A. Scudder~

Hi all,

I’m sure this will excite a lot of people and I’m more excited than you are. I just received confirmation that we will be having some copies of Windows 7 to give away thanks to Mr. Doi who has always supported our initiatives and efforts. Thank you very much sir.

More details to come but yes, Windows 7 will be a part of the promotion and we now have to decide on where to add it. Hmm, we’ll see.

This is too exciting.

Good day to you,

We added a MicroBlogging feature to our social network to enhance the personal experience of our members and getting the kind of “more personal” collaboration between them. This is available for all members and we ask that everyone activate their MicroBlog and allow followers. You should also check out the rest of the members that are of interest and follow them as well.

This is a feature like Twitter but internal to the network. I must say I find it very valuable for me as I have to constantly post updates and it allows the tracking of each and the threads that build on it.

So take a few minutes and check out the MicroBlog in your profile. Who knows, you may get followers.

Thank you and have a great day,

Good day to you,

As a network that hosts various kinds/levels of local and online businesses, we are always striving to enhance the visibility of our membership resources to those in need of their services. It is for this reason that we created the business directory within our network so we could add the additional features needed for our members to add and promote their businesses and what they do best. We needed a way to allow the creation of these businesses with the direct interaction from the network in order for the full extent of our services to be seen and known.

Business owners can create a page about their business, services they offer, areas of specialty, contact information with the ability to have comments and feedback. This is an invaluable feature as it creates direct interaction between our members, the service providers and those on need of it.

As an added value to our local member business owners, we are offering special discounted pricing to them for their continued support of our group meetings, local events and the network. This fee is being waived as a special promotion for the month of October and you must get to it now. We hope this will be a valuable feature for our business entrepreneurs as we build on the vast and extensive resources of our network. As we continue to grow, so will the values and availability of this feature.

The business directory can be viewed here http://titssn.org/businesses.php.

Thank you and have a great day,

Good day to you,

Our ENGAGED promotion for October kicks off on the 15^th with many goodies and value for our members. You must be an active member of the network to benefit from the program and so start getting involved and building up your points. Points are critical to getting some of the special gifts and giveaways.

We’re working on the network and adding the giveaways into the gifts section so you can see what will be available until they are ready.

We’re very excited about this so please join us http://titssn.org/signup.php

Thank you and have a great day,

Good day to you,

As an educational, training, services, support and advisory organization, we have always added a more personal and face-to-face element to our work and initiatives and we don’t see why our new home shouldn’t be the same. Communication is a critical part of our work and so we have made sure that we included the needed resources to offer these services within our network. The audio, video and text messaging services offer a new level of communication for our members to collaborate and address anything at anytime. No matter where you are, one can converse on any level needed with their friends, clients and associates.

Whether you’re networking with a member who is a client, customer, friend or someone new, you can extend the value of communicating through these additional resources with just the click of a button and still be active within the network. Personally I like seeing who I am talking/typing to/with and so I have a very nice high end webcam and microphone that I use for the audio and video pieces. This way you can have the visual effects and experience the digital qualities as well. This is integrated with the audio module which allows simultaneous audio and video collaboration for individuals or groups of people.

As we continue to grow and build on this great network, we will continue to enhance the value, resources and availability of additional collaboration resources for our members. Adding that personal touch to the network will allow more value to our members in building on the networking and collaboration. We are working on some new enhancements that will allow live streaming of our meetings, events, online presentations and training sessions and that will be an additional value for all.

So stay tuned, stay secure and be aware of these resources and the development of this great network of education, awareness, training and collaboration. We look forward to your input, feedback and support.

Thank you and have a great day,

~Brett A. Scudder~

Good day to you,

So help us to help you by joining our network and sharing in what we are making available for all in an effort to create a more educated and aware mindset for everyone to be secure.

Good day to you,

We’re running a promotional signup special on our social network for the next two weeks in an effort to promote the content and information we are making available. Every new member that signs up through October 15^th will receive an extra 1500 points to be used for virtual gifts in the network. We are adding more valuable solutions and products to our virtual gifts store for our members. The more points, the more choices you have to get gifts.

We have a few new vendors who are joining the network and will be contributing towards the gifts so gather up those points and get ready to use them.

Please remember to spread the word and let everyone know that we’re here to provide valuable education, awareness, training and networking on/about technology and IT Security and all are invited, no exceptions. IT Security is a people problem, not an industry one and is how we’re addressing it.
