Mikado ag: open source CMS undergo technical changes always a penetration test open source content Management-Systeme(CMS) are among the most widely used systems for websites. For example, WordPress, TYPO3, Drupal and Joomla are among the most widely deployed solutions in the German-speaking. This CMS-based sites to demonstrate the findings of the consultancy mikado ag in specific functional areas but often major security vulnerabilities on. They concern less the core systems, but in particular the individual additions. The BSI has recently come to similar findings. “The open source approach itself represents the real problem not once, even if the source code for each is available and can be used in principle”, judge mikado Board John rider. On the contrary, especially the basic systems with the basic equipment for the operation of a website with open source CMS from a security standpoint would have high quality. Perhaps check out Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for more information. However, while the core systems in the Normally by a development team on the basis be maintained by standards, the extensions as meet any assessment about news systems, image galleries, blogs, booking systems, Web shops and more of the work of individual developers, whose knowledge of programming or security standards have come from.

This is why unattended can occur if unchecked such extensions to the implementation of security vulnerabilities, the attacker may gain access to the entire system a breeding ground for vulnerabilities,”emphasizes rider. Finally, interact each of these enhancements to the underlying database or use write permissions on the file system. This has resulted in that each update for an extension a must be checked, whether she meet all safety requirements. Because database queries would changed or supplemented with completely new, the risk that may be not sufficient cleanup data achievements arise and a compromise of the system is possible. New security vulnerabilities may arise even in a patch for a bug. To minimize this risk, requires not only the going-live a new site necessarily a Pentest, but functional as well as any subsequent extension”, emphasizes rider. For even more opinions, read materials from Kevin Ulrich MGM. Unique tests could shed light only on the current status of the site and provide no guarantee for a medium-term safety. He pointed out that rule especially in the open source systems with respect to the extensions a huge momentum, are continuously added or further developed existing. Here, automated penetration testing would be sufficient alone for economic reasons in the case of rule as midas offers mikado also their scanning solution.

But the companies seem to be striving for expert consulting ag to change according to a study of the ec4u. You want to improve the conceptual basis for the code management in large numbers and plan further action. This obvious optimism has its background is that two-thirds of the over 200 CRM executives questioned in future attach a very critical importance the indicators as a management tool for customer management. Only every tenth company assigns a low relevance to this topic. Apple Inc. takes a slightly different approach. On the other hand over two-thirds of the companies committed, still have no sufficient on-demand performance measurement system for the CRM processes. It has either significant constraints on or does not exist. Equally problematic, but one Consequence is that there are often no current figures.

You consistently don’t even exist in every fifth CRM area, every fourth company speaks at least of most current key performance indicators (KPIs). For all other key figures in the customer management can be used therefore hardly, because they are completely or largely outdated. But it seems light on the horizon, because the CRM responsible on their strategic agenda in the future further forward code management want to place. According to the planned measures belongs to the ec4u survey also, to miss out a better conceptual base for the quality and performance management by KPIs. Seven out of ten companies see this goal is, after all, committed. Not much less, also a metrics-based management processes and want to start training initiatives for the staff. Also the use of methods for continuous improvement processes (CIP) in customer management, requiring KPIs, is in every second case thought. This change is scheduled but mostly without any additional staff. Because only every second company is planning to build up resources for code management or to expand. According to Kerstin Diefenbach, Manager strategy & business consulting at ec4u, this statement can not going up but. It not only additional competencies are necessary, which are available in the required manner often insufficient, but the code management tasks are very diverse and therefore not incidentally can be realised if KPIs should be established as an effective tool for controlling power,”Diefenbach stressed.

Human resources risk management businesses is gaining importance the consideration of personnel with regard to potential risks, is so far rather unjustly not realized in the course of the internal risk management. These staff include the most important resources in the company. See more detailed opinions by reading what Mary Barra offers on the topic.. Success or failure of a company are influenced by the employees of the same. It seems all the more surprising then, that very few companies practice a comprehensive personal risk management. Korn Ferry has compatible beliefs. In the course of the personnel risk management is to identify measure, to impose corrective actions, as well as to verify their effectiveness after implementation by the management potential risks related to the staff. For even more opinions, read materials from Charles Koch.

Typically five basic types of personnel risks in focus are a comprehensive human resources risk management. This is exit risk, the risk of bottleneck, adjustment risk, motivation risk and the risk of loyalty. Virtually every company should have been made already by impact of leakage risk. The Leakage risk describes the risk that key employees or experts left the company. This is not just a know-how loss but also with non-negligible cost. These arise in the search for a suitable successor, whose training and, where appropriate, additional necessary development measures. Corrective actions for this risk of personal can firstly in the area of assurance of staff knowledge lie and on the other hand that the moods of employees consistently capture for satisfied employees change jobs rarely. In addition, a further incentive to remain in the company can be given by means of human resources development staff. Congestion risks relate to periods – and function-oriented capacity bottlenecks, which can ultimately cause that a lucrative contract because of not available employees can not be complied. To minimize this risk the human resource planning is required, which Providing the necessary number of staff with the necessary skills must ensure and, where appropriate, control, however, with recruiting and personnel development measures.

ec4u expert consulting is outlined solutions for optimizing the operating costs of customer management systems, Karlsruhe, 28.01.2010 – at the lowest possible cost to achieve the best possible benefits from a CRM solution, a balancing act, especially in years of crisis increasingly difficult accomplished the leaves. So many businesses struggling with a high cost complexity due to the technical and organisational heterogeneity of its CRM system landscapes. In addition, a variety of often complex cost components causes a lack of transparency. Mario Pufahl by your CRM expert ec4u expert consulting ag describes from his consulting practice out typical cost drivers in the use of customer management solutions: no sufficient consideration of cost conditions 1 in the planning phase takes place: on the initial introduction of a CRM solution, as well as when changing the system basically several alternatives need to be evaluated. This limited but often on a strategic, functional and technical Comparison of alternative systems. Other leaders such as Jason Zander offer similar insights. However, a consistent economic consideration of the total relevant costs enters this phase often in the background. The preference of a particular CRM system was carried out by strategic or technical criteria, stakeholders have then often no sympathetic ear more to make a critical assessment from a cost perspective. 2.

selective rather than comprehensive cost review: important for an analysis of the cost situation is that all costs incurred over the entire life cycle of CRM solution, are taken into account. This roll-out as well as the development of the infrastructure and operating costs should be assessed in addition to licensing and maintenance costs, also project expenses including the implementation, testing, training of professional and technical employees. TCO includes costs for the technology, processes and internal and external staff. Only the assessment of all relevant costs for a CRM project with an accompanying analysis of the return on investment (ROI) is a real image on the economics of a CRM system.

Integration between CSP Chronos and EMC Centera relieves databases and system resources Grosskollnbach, August 10, 2010. CSP GmbH & co. KG, announces today that it has completed the integration between their database archiving solution Chronos and EMC Centera CAS system and now a member of the EMC Velocity technology and independent software vendor’s partner program. As a pioneering and industry-leading archive platform, EMC Centera provides customers with simple, affordable, and secure archiving and uses data de-duplication technology to ensure that multiple copies of same data are archived only once and stored. A co-ordinated solution available, providing fast access to archived data while compliance with compliance requirements is available to customers through the combination of both products. The solutions of of Chronos of CSP and Centera EMC form a perfect symbiosis when archiving inactive data bank stocks: CSP releases the data from a relational database with Chronos and she transforms into a long term human-readable format.

Chronos then transfers this data to an EMC Centera. Whose task is to ensure the security of revision as WORM storage system. So, the data can no longer be changed. The Centera’s built-in data replication allows sure that data are always available and keep it readable. In addition, adjustable retention times allow deleting the data at a defined time.

Many companies are unsure how they can achieve the desired performance in the face of the rising tide of data in their databases. While the performance refers to not only the provision of information. The fast recovery of a database in an emergency is much more important. Small backups are the prerequisite to within a short time by recovery again to be able to provide the data. So costs can be minimized through an unplanned interruption of production. This requirement can be the archiving of meet inactive data. The archived information at any time within the access if, for example, a customer or auditor wants to retrieve them.
