Most people love new technology. It can make us more productive. It can lower
our costs. It can be very "cool."
So, if it's true and most people love new technology, why do we tend to
adopt new technology on a "curve?" Why do innovators and early adopters jump
in early while others become late majority or laggards?
One answer is the effect of salespeople on the adoption curve. With
innovators, salespeople probably make no difference. Innovators are going to
buy new technology early and take a risk. It's important that they are the
first to utilize and implement new technology. They probably know more about
the technology than the salespeople do anyway. They have likely been
researching the new stuff for months and probably were involved in
beta-testing the product for the manufacturer.
Salespeople make the difference between customers who are early adopters,

over the next four years.
Adoption of cloud computing services has risen and so have the security risks

Currently, the preferred method of data protection of cloud giants, such as
Google, is to replicate the data across different locations (i.e., data
centers), rather than performing a true back up. This is done because a true
back up seems logistically too complicated given the amount of data these
giants store. These companies have turned to replicated data because, the
assumed risk of all replications crashing simultaneously are extremely slim.
This risk assumption may be accurate but it does not take into account
unintentional data destruction.
From firsthand experience, we k... (more)

Initially, we came across ransomware which exploited the entire system and
just restricted you from interacting with your own device, later on requiring
you to pay dollars if you want to go back and use your computer.
And then it started becoming obsolete because an end-user. People were asking
themselves: “That is my computer, would I pay $100 for it? If I don't
really have data, I’d better format my PC and start all over again.” So,
that strategy – locking access to computers, started becoming obsolete.
What did the bad guys do? They realized that the previous strategy was onl... (more)
