Perdemia's Permission Analyzer How to get an overview of access rights

Perdemia has released Permission Analyzer 2.1, a Windows application that lets network administrators manage NTFS permissions. The software eliminates the mystery - and the dangers - of adding permissions that allow contractors and users to access the proper data stores.

Recent news stories about Hillary Clinton's email server and the breach of the Pentagon's servers might lead network managers to believe that most security threats are external. Security experts tell us, however, that most data breaches happen because of activity within an organization. Permission Analyzer 2.1 provides the tools that business people need to keep their servers safe and secure. By running Permission Analyzer 2.1 regularly, the management team can effectively control employee access to company data.

Unlike other programs that help manage permissions on a network, Permission Analyzer 2.1 scans an entire network and builds a database that can then be used by network administrators, chief information officers (CIOs), systems auditors, or any authorized employees who need to manage the network. Multiple users can use the database to perform queries and to show results in seconds, without scanning the network for every overview that is being built by a user. This design eliminates unnecessary network traffic, and dramatically reduces network load.

Permission Analyzer 2.1 can scan an entire network, or focus on specific computers and directories. You can even analyze nested group information by selecting LDAP organizational units to scan. Once the database has been updated with the current information, users can run reports or query the database by creating filters that include or exclude members, permissions, files, or folders.

A unique feature of Permission Analyzer 2.1's design is its ability to work with all of the members from an Active Directory group or Organizational Unit. With competitors' software, if a user wants to ensure that nobody in the Consultants group had access to the Personnel Department's folder, it would be necessary to inspect every member in the Consultants group individually. With Permission Analyzer 2.1, the user could use a single query to ensure that no members of the Consultants group has access to the Personnel information. In just a few minutes, network administrators could ensure that only the proper people have access to personnel folders, the legal department's confidential information, top management's planning directories, and other sensitive data.

It is easy to save selections of filters, exports, and policies and run them automatically using Windows Scheduler. Many network administrators, for example, schedule a daily network scan as well as HTML/CSV exports and policies that will send an email notification when unwanted permissions are found.

The software lets you drill down into the database and trace the origin of any group of permissions. Unusual permissions could be inherited from a direct or indirect group membership or from a parent folder. Or such permissions may be indicators of a security breach.

Permission Analyzer 2.1's internal database can support the largest networks that an enterprise might run. In addition, the Enterprise and Consultant Editions of the software work with Oracle, DB2, MS SQL, MySQL, and other popular databases.

Whether you're a network administrator who needs to manage NTFS permissions, a security officer who needs to be sure that every employee and consultant has the proper access and permissions, or a line manager who wants to streamline and automate permissions information, Permission Analyzer 2.1 has the tools that you need.

Permission Analyzer 2.1 runs under Windows Vista or higher. Prices for the Basic Edition begin at $299(US), with affordable Standard, Enterprise, and Consultant Editions available. A trial version is available online, as well as time-limited versions of each of the Permission Analyzer 2.1 editions

People should ask 10 questions to Voip Service Provider

As availing VoIP phone system is a business investment, it is imperative that you put some searching questions to the service providers in order to make an informed decision. As VoIp technology is relatively recent, it may at least for now, be less reliable than the conventional phone service.

The cost of VoIP service may vary depending on the calling features and service plans you choose. It is understood that those who opt for VoIP service from the same company that provides them broadband Internet service, end up getting the best deals.

Nonetheless, it is necessary you ask the VoIP service provider following pertinent questions to avoid disappointments later on. The cost of VoIP service may vary depending on the calling features and service plans you choose.

The first question obviously will be about the initial upfront costs. You must obtain definitive and unambiguous detail regarding the upfront costs. There could be a tendency among service providers to be evasive and then stealthily introduce additional set up costs or force the client to buy some additional equipment.

Make it a point to explain to the service provider about your existing system and the type of features you are looking for. This will enable the service provider to see whether your existing facilities can integrate with the proposed VoIP system. Ascertain specifically whether any new devices like phones, routers, and other equipment that you have not planned for, will be needed.

Do not be carried away by all clever sales talk about savings. There is no use opting for a service that will create more problems than solve. Make sure if your number will be E911 and seek confirmation whether you can add virtual numbers from other cities for friends, relatives or business customers to be able to call as a local number.

Faxing over VoIP is yet to be perfected whatever assurances the service provider may offer. If you are a heavy fax user, keeping a PSTN line may be essential. Even then, some fax machines may be too fast for VoIP and may need to be readjusted for it to work well. Make in-depth enquiries about faxing facility to prevent unexpected problems later on.

One of the chief attractions of having VoIP is the special features it can offer as some key features will result in saving on phone bills and contribute to increased productivity in business. One feature that should be important is the automatic call-forwarding that can be set in the event of an Internet outage. Make sure you are provided with all the features you require.

You may need a toll free number or a virtual number, so find out what the monthly charges will be and any extra per minute charges for these services. This information is important for you to work out the operational costs.

Make specific enquiries about the rates payable for international calls. Please understand that one of the biggest savings with a VoIP service is the charge for international calls. Find out about plans that suggest a list of countries for one low monthly charge.

Explore the possibility of getting some firm commitment about the quality and reliability of services as also the technical support. These may be some of the most difficult questions for the service provider to answer or for the client to be satisfied with. But still, asking these questions is worthwhile.

Panic Attack In Dogs - Causes And Methods To Help Your Dog

Panic Attack In Dogs - Causes And Methods To Help Your Dog

Panic attack in dogs comes on suddenly and can be triggered by loud noises such as thunder, fireworks or gun shots. The fight or flight instinct kicks in big-time, but since they can't fight something they can't see, some dogs will usually try to run away from the noise. For dogs who are fenced in or contained within a house, there is nowhere for them to go. So they turn all of that "flight" energy into outward destructive behavior or they internalize it, causing severe shaking, whining, panting, and raised heart rate.

It is not really understood why some dogs suffer from these panic attacks and others don't. One dog in a household may sleep through a violent thunderstorm, while another dog goes absolutely berserk and seems to be totally inconsolable.

If you have adopted a rescued dog, it may be impossible to know its previous history. It could have included some type of incident that left it deathly afraid of certain situations or sounds. If only they could tell us. Then again, I'm not sure I would want to know. Anyway, the reason behind the panic may never be known, but it's really not as important as helping your dog overcome the behavior.

I really think that a panic attack in dogs is much the same as it is in people. I don't think we really understand why some people suffer from it and yet others don't. However, humans have the means to seek out help and put that help to use in conquering our fears.

Dogs don't have the tools to deal with an anxiety or panic attack. They have no means of working through it or of understanding how to overcome this panic they are experiencing.

That is where we, as their caretakers, must intervene and find methods to help overcome this panic attack in dogs.

First of all, I have to stress the importance of not punishing your dog for running away or destroying something during a panic attack. Your dog is reacting to something he doesn't understand. By punishing him you will only be adding to the stress and confusion, possibly escalating any further episodes.

I do believe that a dog who has undergone some obedience dog training will have a bit of an edge over an untrained dog in that you may be able to distract your trained dog momentarily with commands. This is not always the case with extreme anxiety, because it does seem to over-ride any previous training, but with mild cases of panic attack, distraction with obedience work may help.

One method of calming your dog during a panic or anxiety attack is through the use of sedatives. This is not a recommended method for the obvious reason that it will not solve the problem. It will only drug your dog through the event. Most sedatives will last for a few hours, during which time your dog will be lethargic, unsteady and uncoordinated.

Some sedatives will restrict the reactions of the dog, yet will not lessen the terror going on within the dog's mind. He will still experience the distress of the situation without being able to do anything about it. If you have decided to use sedatives to help your dog through an extremely anxious time, please do some research on the side effects of the particular sedative you will be using.

The ultimate goal is to help your dog overcome its terror and get through a stressful event with a somewhat more peaceful balance of mind.

Another tool for helping overcome a panic attack in dogs is the anxiety wrap. You can find this as the Original Anxiety Wrap and the Thundershirt. The anxiety wrap is a snugly fitting shirt that exerts deep touch pressure on pressure points to soothe a dog during stress. It is similar to the swaddling of an infant to help it feel secure. This does not work for every dog or every instance of irrational anxiety a dog may experience, but it does help many dogs. Some it helps instantly, others may take several times of using the anxiety wrap to gradually lessen the extreme panic they have experienced so many times.

One other method of teaching your dog to overcome its extreme fear is by gradually exposing it to the very thing it is terrified of, such as thunder. You would start this with a tape recording of thunder. Play it at a very low level, encouraging your dog to take treats, to play ball, to dance around and have fun. This will help your dog to associate good things with the noise it has previously deemed terrifying. Gradually increase the noise, but only after your dog has accepted each level, showing no significant anxiety.

There are several methods to work through a panic attack in dogs. There really is no reason to simply watch your dog deal with the terror it feels. It may take some research, some effort and a LOT of patience, but it will be worth it in the end to suddenly realize you are in the middle of a thunderstorm and your dog is lying peacefully on its bed.

Over Possessive and Over-jealous Filipino Women Married to Foreign Nationals - Part 1

Over Possessive and Over-jealous Filipino Women Married to Foreign Nationals - Part 1

PART I

Forgotten Factor

Having to deal with possessive Filipino women may be one of the elements that a few foreign nationals perhaps had forgotten to factor in while they were in search of that special someone from the Philippines to share their lives with.

It is apparent that some Filipino women who, after being married to Westerners or other foreign nationals, have decided, consciously or unconsciously to be possessive or even over-possessive of their husbands. It seems that these women act that way as a means to control their foreigner national husbands. By control, I mean to somehow shield them away from not the elements but from the rest of the Philippine society.

By definition, these women are manipulative. Some of these women would go the extra mile in their possessiveness as to raise their hands on their docile foreign national husbands as a way to further subdue them should the latter tell them something that may hurt their feelings, regardless of how truthful that something can be.

Obviously, these married men cannot do much to repair the damage caused by their manipulative wives because they are quite old. They feel that it is too late for them to terminate their marriage relationships and to start again their search of love from scratch. Indeed, time is not on their side, and a result, their abusive Filipino wives take advantage of that.

It appears to me that some Filipino women are unaware that it is not customary for a wife to raise her hands on their husbands in the Western world or in the Arab world, and other parts of the world. This might be permissible in self-defense only in some countries. It is one of these possessive Filipino women's failings and shortcomings that needs to be addressed.

If such an issue is not given the proper attention, then you can expect the weakening of the marital bonds which can lead to full separation of the couple or even to divorce if they were married in the Philippines. Is that the wish of these over-jealous and possessive Filipino women, married to foreign nationals? They are the only who might be able to answer this question; yet, do not even count on it.

Husbands Viewed as Unique Possession

As I see it, there is nothing wrong for a married woman to feel a bit jealous if she realizes that her husband flirts or likes to flirt with another woman or other girls. In fact, such flirting behavior tends to lead to extra marital affairs, which in turn creates difficulties in most marriage relationships. But, an over-jealous woman would not wait for her husband to flirt with another girl or woman in order to accuse him of doing so. I personally know two few foreign nationals who are married to jealous Filipino wives.

Their domestic life is not the sweetest you can think of on earth. These women's intentions are clear: a) keep their husbands at home where nobody else would see them, except the domestic helper and the children, if any, b) go on vacations once in a while, as their budgets allow, where their husbands would have little or no opportunity to talk to no women. How would you feel if you were one of these married men? What would your reactions be when your Filipino over-jealous wife places so many restrictions on your life?

Part II to follow. Please stay tuned.

Over 70 percent of Prostate Cancer is Diagnosed in Men Over 65 Years of Age

Over 70 percent of Prostate Cancer is Diagnosed in Men Over 65 Years of Age

Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in men, and the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in America, other than skin cancer. One out of every six American men will develop prostate cancer at some point in his life, and an American man is 33% more likely to get prostate cancer than an American woman is to get breast cancer.

The prostate is a male sexual reproductive organ, in front of the rectum, and just below the urinary bladder. A healthy prostate averages around 3 centimeters in diameter, and weighs around 20 grams. The prostate is responsible for producing and storing some of the fluids that comprise semen. Within the prostate are many little glands where this fluid production occurs. The cells in these glands, like most cells of the body, live for a while before dying and being replaced in an orderly fashion. Prostate cancer occurs when new cells are made in these glands in an abnormal fashion, growing out of control and forming a tumor. Tumors can either be benign, or malignant. A malignant tumor of the prostate gland is called prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer in itself is not fatal. The danger of prostate cancer is that the cancer cells may spread or "metastasize" to other vital areas of the body. This is a danger of any kind of cancer, and occurs when cancer cells circulate through the body by way of blood or lymph. Common areas where the cancer cells may invade are bones, lungs, brain and lymph nodes, and cancers in these areas can be fatal.

Over 70% of prostate cancer is diagnosed in men over 65 years of age, and the majority of the other cases are found in men over 50, although it can sometimes occur in even very young men. Prostate cancer is normally a relatively slow growing cancer, especially in older men, and therefore many men with prostate cancer will end up dying from some other unrelated cause before the cancer causes any serious damage.

It is unclear as to what the causes behind prostate cancer are. It is known that the cells in the prostate glands operate under the control of male sex hormones, such as testosterone, and the development of cancer in the gland may be hormone related. There is also evidence to suggest that genetics and diet both play a part in the likelihood in developing the cancer.

In its early stages, prostate cancer often has no noticeable symptoms. It is therefore wise for any male over the age of 50 to regularly receive a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test, which can detect early stage forms of the cancer. If caught in the earlier stages, the chances of recovering from prostate cancer are very good with today's available treatments.

Organic LED and Its Potentials in Lighting

Organic LED and Its Potentials in Lighting

Every week LEDcentre.uk.com tries to provide some new information on LED lighting, and we havent mentioned OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Devices), which are creeping into our everyday lives, even if we dont hear this term mentioned too often. OLEDs are not primarily used as lighting devices, but rather as displays. For their use as a main source of lighting further improvements are necessary. But how is OLED different from a simple LED?

OLEDs are organic light emitting diodes, so their components include organic substances which emit light once current runs through them. They can be either mono-layered or more often multi-layered, and also contain a usually transparent cathode and anode at the two ends for transporting current.

Organic LEDs are, basically the futuristic way of lighting, and their range of application widens continuously. The reason for their popularity is due to their exclusive features, which can be used advantageously not only in the lighting industry, but at the moment primarily in manufacturing displays of all forms (TVs, mobiles, adverts). These displays may contain PMOLED or passing matrix addressing schemes or AMOLEDs active matrix schemes. AMOLEDS with film transistor backplanes make it possible to switch or address each pixel individually, in other words touch screen.

Other advantages include its very small size, as OLEDs are layered on a thin film, or other paper-thin sheets. They are also very light due to this, with the flexibility of plastic substances. Beside the physical features, the displayed images on OLED have a higher brightness, better power efficiency in general, and a wide viewing angle. OLED displays are generally brighter with more lively (sometimes even considered unnatural) sharpness and liveliness of the colours. Also, these panels do not require back lighting, as previous side-lighted or back-lit panels, so black colours can be fully displayed on them, as perfect solution for advertising panels.

On the other hand, OLED technology is still in its infancy, and new solutions appear on the market constantly. There are plenty of issues that need research for it to become a reliable, long-term solution for either lighting or displays. One of its disadvantages is its rather short lifespan. Blue OLED components only have the lifetime of 14 000 hours, which is about 8 years with regular use of the display. This is too little compared to current solutions available on the market (LED, LCD), and more expensive as well. Also, since blue components lose their lifespan faster than other components, their visibility is a difficulty. Blue light is more difficult to detect by the human eye, so they need to be generally more powerful. The problem has been solved so far with optimizing the colour ratio within a pixel, to balance out the differences in lifespan. Also blue light is set as more intensive, often resulting in an artificial-looking picture on the display. Further issues can be water resistance (as OLEDs are ruined by water instantly, so their outdoor performance hugely depends on the constructions IP rating); the high power consumption of white light displays; or screen burn-in, which can happen due to the differing lifespan of the colours.

Naturally what we are primarily interested in is the technologys application for lighting purposes. This application of OLEDs has only started, since the generally low performance of these diodes and their current short lifespan prevents manufacturers to use it as a main source of lighting. Also, the manufacturing of OLEDs has just started in larger amounts, which will hopefully lead to a reduction of its price. Demand for organic LEDs is growing constantly, due to additional applications by mobile phone companies and display manufacturers.

As for lighting, OLED as a new form of lighting offers entirely new solutions. Since OLEDs could even be printed on a sheet of paper even, they are recently applied as wallpaper with background lighting. Its transparency allows it to be used as window during daytime and source of light as a panel during the night. Novaled OLED panels bear a 60-70% transparency.

For commercial purposes the first product was the round Orbeos OLED panel by Osram in November 2009. Although due to the current problems with these applications we will still have to wait until OLED becomes a competitive lighting source, its generally peculiar features and the new solutions they allow will bring new light to our homes.

Optical Sensors Market Drivers, Challenges and Scope

Optical Sensors Market Drivers, Challenges and Scope

The progression of technology and innovation in the optics sensors technology and business has presented an ocean of opportunities to the various segments and sub-segments of the technology; namely fiber optic sensors, image sensors, position sensors, ambient light and proximity sensors and infrared sensors. Some of the characteristics of the device that make it suitable for application are its small size, its ability to operate without electrical power, its ability to be multiplexed along the length of the fibers and its ability to sense time delay as light passes through each sensor.

These Optical sensors can be utilized in a wide range like aerospace, medical, industrial, telecommunications due to their ability to be non-conductive and withstand hash environmental conditions.

Some of the factors driving the market are the rapid technological developments in the domain, its rising applications in healthcare/medical sector and the oil and gas segment. Investment in the healthcare sector has led to an increase in the demand of high-tech imaging devices and equipment in hospitals and healthcare centres. Another prominent factor driving the market is the affordability of mobile phones, smartphones and tablets today. A crucial driving force of the technology is the intrinsic role for military uses.

Market research suggests that the Optical Sensor Market will grow in the developing regions of APAC and Latin America and a relatively slow growth will be observed over the African Subcontinent on account of the low 4G LTE (Long-Term Evolution) deployment in the region.

The market has also tremendously benefitted from the new growth of LED Lightings and the fast adoption of sensors for factory automation and smart systems.

Though the technology has increased several possibilities and scope for application, the cost of adopting the technology is a primary barrier in the segment. Another factor hindering the growth of the industry is the reluctance from the end-users in employing the new innovations in the Optical Sensors Market. Substantial opportunity gets lost in the compromise between the quality of the images/products and the price of the sensors. A major obstruction to the growth of the industry is the high organizational expenses. This hurdle is fast being solved due to the high governmental subsidies being provided to boost R&D in the optical sensing field.

The use of optical fibers around the world has undoubtedly increased with a rise in the demand for endoscopic imaging, leading to the emergence and application of the technology across diverse domains such as R&D, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, process control etc.

The growth of technologies that can help build a compact electrical circuit will continue in the next few years as well. The Optical Sensing technology has also yet to achieve its optimum potential in the oil, gas and wind sector. Firms, by and large, are working on technological innovations with respect to improving the pixel size, pixel resolution, pixel count and the performance of these devices to maintain a competitive edge in the industry. The industry indeed leaves tremendous scope for Research and Development (R&D) in the near future.
