This charity golf event raises much-needed funds for the ALA to provide and support education, advocacy, research, and community service.

When a breach in your data security occurs, it may not be immediately apparent. The longer the breach goes unnoticed, the greater the damage will be. Breaches, however, are not entirely invisible. There are signs you should be aware of which, when noticed, tip you off to a hole in your security.

Open-standards based networking and network security means making a conscious choice to move away from a single-vendor to multi-vendor network. These multi-vendor networks rely on open standards for their interoperability.
