Core Netiquette For Subject Fields

Top Netiquette Subject-Line Entries

It is tantamount that a subject line is consistent with the content of the email itself; if it isn’t, the likelihood of the recipient opening a future message will be greatly reduced.

The following are some tips on things to include in the body of the email if you want it to have an impact on the recipient and generate a response:

1. Mention the person who referred you, including the full name and tile of the person.

2. Add the name of a successful sendee’s company item (e.g., a new product).

3. Include a very specific identifier with job description (i.e., job title, responsibilities, ID number, and so on).

4. If making a cold inquiry, be direct.

5. Use any prestigious titles you possess, such as CEO, CTO, and so forth.

6. Ask for the person’s professional advice, e.g., “your opinion is requested” if this is your primary reason for the message.

7. Tantalize the reader by mentioning special content, e.g., new information.

8. Use power words.

9. Avoid overhyping yourself. A second opinion may be helpful (e.g., having someone else read it).
10. Promote yourself by mentioning favorable customer reviews you’ve received.

Netiquette IQ Blog Of 1/23/2016 Greynet (or graynet) Definition

Greynet (or graynet) Definition

Posted by: Margaret Rouse

WhatIs.com

Greynet is a term for the use of unauthorized applications on a corporate network. A greynet application is a network-based program that corporate network users download and install without permission from their company's IT department. Common examples of greynet applications include instant messaging, peer-to-peer collaboration and conferencing programs, streaming media players, and RSS readers.

Many greynet applications, such as instant messaging and collaboration programs, have legitimate business use and help boost user productivity. Other greynet applications, like peer-to-peer file and music sharing programs, pose serious security risks and can drain network resources. User-downloaded programs also can include malicious programs like spyware components for tracking and reporting information without the user's knowledge. Greynet usage by employees is thought to be a major contributor to the growth of spyware-related incidents.

All greynets, even those that benefit the end-user, can be detrimental to a company network. Because they use corporate bandwidth, the programs often have negative effects on overall network performance. They introduce security risks, including client code vulnerabilities and new avenues for attack, and can lead to data loss and property or identity theft. Greynets can be difficult to eliminate because many use encryption and port agility (the ability to dynamically send and receive traffic across any open network port), which makes them difficult to detect and block.

Netiquette IQ Blog Of 1/22/2016 - Most Internet Devices Run Known Security Vulnerabilities: Cisco Report

Most Internet Devices Run Known Security Vulnerabilities: Cisco Report

BY CHRIS BURT ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 19 2016 www.thewhir.com

Regulators and investigators expect businesses to manage risk exposure in 2016, but executives are not sure they’re up to the challenge, according to the Cisco 2016 Annual Security Report, released Tuesday. Vulnerabilities from aging infrastructure, SMBs in the enterprise supply chain, and a disconnect between DNS experts and security teams are contributing to difficulties in adapting to the current threat landscape.

While 92 percent of executives surveyed said that regulators and investigators expect enterprises to manage cybersecurity risks, only 45 percent are confident in the effectiveness of their security posture. The report notes increasing transparency and board-level concern, which are likely to benefit enterprise security in the long run, but as of the report seem mostly to have increased anxiety. Some enterprise security cynics will say this anxiety is long overdue.

Inadequate infrastructure upkeep is a growing issue, as Cisco says that 92 percent of Internet devices are running known vulnerabilities, 31 percent are no longer supported or maintained by the vendor, and the number of organizations that consider their security infrastructure up-to-date declined by 10 percent from 2014 to 2015.

The report also found that attackers are using compromised servers, such as those used by content and social media platforms, to launch attacks. WordPress domains used by criminals increased 221 percent from February to October 2015. Ransomware attacks alone now generate $34 million in annual criminal proceeds. Breaches from malicious browser extensions have affected 85 percent of organizations, and over 90 percent of “known bad” malware uses DNS as a key capability, according to the report.

“Security is resiliency by design, privacy in mind, and trust transparently seen,” said John N. Stewart, senior vice president, chief security and trust officer, Cisco. “With IoT and digitization taking hold in every business, technology capability must be built, bought, and operated with each of these elements in mind. We cannot create more technical debt. Instead, we must meet the challenge head on today.”

The report is not all bad news. While the number of SMBs using web security dropped over 10 percent from 2014 to 2015, SMB security outsourcing leaped from 14 to 23 percent, providing more robust security for those who do implement it. The outsourcing trend also extends to all sizes of enterprises. Despite lengthy estimates for breach detection time, Cisco reduced its own detection time from 46 to 17.5 hours since its 2015 Cisco Midyear Security Report, the company says.
