itVARnews.net recent survey of young executives and graduates show that about 99 percent of the respondents are not aware of what constitutes as a cyber crime.

East Of Kailash, New Delhi -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/19/2010 -- If you are a young executive, you are most likely to be hooked on to at least five of the umpteen social networking sites that populate the Internet today. You are probably signed in most of the time. You ensure to change your status message at least four times in a day, and tweet as often as possible with what are seemingly innocuous statements. But are you aware that even your seemingly innocuous statements can be offensive to someone, and that amounts as a cyber crime?

Our recent survey of young executives and graduates show that about 99 percent of the respondents are not aware of what constitutes as a cyber crime. They did know that hacking, theft, spamming, and spreading virus, and Trojans count as cyber crime and are punishable; however they did not understand that bad behavior on the net is equally punishable under Indian cyber laws.

According to the survey conducted by IT VAR News, only 4 to 5 persons per 1000 know the consequence of these crimes; and 2 per 1000 know how to take action against cyber criminals and in what cases. This shows that most of us are not aware about the laws and punishment mentioned for cyber world in our Indian Penal Code.
What makes for bad manners?

Today you are always present on the social networking sites. This is where behaving right becomes an important point. What you may think as a simple action or words can actually make a cyber offender. You can actually land up in jail under defamation charges. According Jaipur-based Cyber Lawyer, Mr. Vivek Tripathi, Impersonation, identity theft, fraud, extortion and breach of privacy all fall under the list of cyber crime.

In fact most of the respondents we spoke to were amazed to know that sometimes even an inoffensive post can land them into jail. In fact you even stand to lose your job based on what you think as a humorous posting. According to Mr Tripathi even your status message can drag you to unwanted legal processes.
Being the good guy

So how do you know what posts or tweets can be harmful for you? Mr Tripahti adds, there are no specific rules to regulate these kinds of tweets, messages in IT act of India yet but normally it has been used as evidence as follows. For section 39, the following section shall be substituted, namely: What evidence to be given when statement forms part of a conversation, document, electronic record, book or series of letters or papers. - When any statement of which evidence is given forms part of a longer statement, or of a conversation or pan of an isolated document, or is contained in a document which forms part of a book, or is contained in part of electronic record or of a connected series of letters or papers, evidence shall be given of so much and no more of the statement, conversation, document, electronic record, book or series of letters or papers as the Court considers necessary in that particular case to the full understanding of the nature and effect of the statement, and of the circumstances under which it was made."

While some countries especially those with Muslim majority have termed the social networking sites like tweeter and facebooks as ungodly, and criminal; in India we are better off. We still get to hold on to our right of expression. Mr Tripathi informs, Information technology act of India does not violate the right to speech and right to expression, it only regulates illegal content/images, data security, personal identity, fraud, objectionable websites, and privacy of any person, criminal activities and anti state activities on cyberspace.

But yes according to our survey those who spend quality time in cyber world surely want to learn the laws and want to keep them updated for their security. So here we bring some dos and don'ts when online.

East Of Kailash, New Delhi -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/12/2010 -- Grass root level growth, that's what security solutions company Trend Micro is aiming for with its new consumer and SOHO security solution. It is in fact turning around its distribution strategy to push the new launches into areas where IT is still a growing concept.

The company has recently launched new set of products for end consumer and SOHO includes TrendMicro Internet Security 2010, Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010. But to sell this range the company is not seeking the partnership of its national distributors Ingram Micro and WeP.

Trend Micro is planning to change the distribution of end consumer products and will be recruiting new partners for end consumer and Soho space. Currently, the company is working with two national distributors which are Ingram Micro and WeP for enterprise products.

Trend Micro is taking an inverted route, where it is appointing resellers first and then moving up the chain. This is to push its penetration level to tier 3, tier 4 class towns. Shedding light on this Amit Nath, Country Manager, Trend Micro India, says, We want to reach to consumer residing in small towns and places as the internet started flourishing there. We are looking for new set of partners to cater to this segment. We are eying on small retailers in small T3 and T4 towns. It is not difficult to appoint tier 1 partners but reaching to that level is difficult and we are trying to get start from lowest side of pyramid. We will be constant recruitment of consumer partners.

On criteria of appointing partners, Trend Micro is ready to pick up partners from multiple spaces in which hardware and security are some to name. The company keeps on rolling awareness and events for partners time to time. But this time Trend Micro is partnering with CRY to organize Internet safety education camp for children.

Now Trend Micro expanded its foot prints in all the verticals like consumer, SOHO, SMB, and enterprise. For 2010, the companies focus will be on consumer and SOHO.

Apart inform consumer space, they will be focusing on cloud computing and biggest focus in corporate are would be solutions for data centers and virtualized environment.

East Of Kailash, New Delhi -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/11/2010 -- Micro Focus announces Micro Focus Server Express Remote Development Option (RDO), a new development environment option for its development platform that helps slash time and costs for companies building or maintaining Micro Focus COBOL applications for deployment on UNIX and Linux servers.

Using Micro Focus Server Express RDO, customers can now remotely develop, debug and test core COBOL applications in a powerful Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This eliminates expensive and tedious manual development processes and frees up valuable IT resources. The new solution enables customers to keep COBOL programs and the source-code on the target server, removing the costly and time-consuming need to transfer code between the development environment and the UNIX or Linux server on which the application will be tested and run.

Micro Focus Server Express Remote Development Option is the first COBOL development tool to enable developers to create and maintain applications on a remote server while sitting on a local machine, said Peter Anderton, Product Solutions Director, Application Development at Micro Focus. Development projects that once took several days to complete can now be finished in mere hours, with customers seeing tenfold productivity gains in the development process. This allows customers to greatly reduce costs and enables IT staffs to redeploy personnel for more strategic initiatives. At the same time, RDO brings customers one step closer to developing applications remotely for deployment directly on the cloud.

Micro Focus Server Express RDO combines a high-performance workstation-based IDE with support for the entire edit-compile-debug cycle on Linux or UNIX servers. It features standard Eclipse functionality so Eclipse developers can immediately take advantage of the solution while enabling non-COBOL developers to quickly develop and modernize existing COBOL assets on UNIX or Linux servers.

It is critical that organizations debug and test applications in an environment that is as close to production as possible. In the past, this has meant sacrificing powerful tools when that platform was UNIX or Linux, continued Anderton. Micro Focus Server Express RDO solves this problem, and developers become instantly more productive as programs stay on the target server, using local databases and services, while the Eclipse IDE provides a state-of-the-art developer tool set.

The Server Express RDO solution includes a set of lightweight client plug-ins for Eclipse that communicates with the Remote Development Server (RDS). The RDS uses the COBOL server and Server Express functionality to execute builds and provide debug services while source code remains on the server, accessed via the Eclipse IDE. Server Express RDO uses a single application interface throughout the edit-compile-debug process, eliminating the requirement of learning to navigate multiple interfaces.
