This paper shares five critical areas in which IBM can help you build human factors into your continuity strategy to help ensure that your workforce and your business remains resilient in the face of adversity.

Everyone knows how important it is for organizations to have the ability to quickly send emergency notification to a few hundred (or to hundreds of thousands) of recipients. However, it's also important for organizations to allow those recipients to check for messages proactively.

Join this web-based round table discussion and learn from three industry experts as they discuss the many operational applications for inbound notification including how it:

• Reduces strain on system administrators and agents

• Saves money

• Helps control the message

• Is enhances crisis communication for corporations, organizations, governments, emergency personnel/first-responders, and more.

White Papers

Is Your Network Safe Behind Just A Firewall?

Malicious software or "malware" is the biggest network security threat facing organizations today. Cybercriminals target enterprises that hold a great deal of money or conduct a high volume of transactions on a daily basis.

Windstream's Position on Security Compliance

Since Windstream's role is central to customer network security, we as an ISP and Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) must be "ahead of the curve" to maintain our position within the confines of the popular compliance standards because the overwhelming buying triggers for our services surround these standards.
