Good day to you,

It is always a challenge to drive the attention, traffic and visibility of technology and IT Security education, awareness and guidance to the masses as it isn’t one of those things they pay attention to until something happens or there is a need. As a Technology/IT Security leader for today and tomorrow, we, TITSSN, are always pushing for proactive approaches to getting the information, resources and value to the people so that we can stop, block and prevent successful attacks before they happen.

It is for this reason that we’re adding more value and incentives to our network to drive active membership on the site by giving a $50 USD gift certificate to every 100th new member. This will be monitored to ensure that the 100th member is actually a real person who does something on the site other than just signing up. We have put security measures in place to try and block all levels of spamming (posts, commenting, signup) in order to maintain the realness of our network and resources especially for these incentives. There will be other giveaways and incentives as we try to bring the value of the education and awareness to the global user base of people.

There is more to come as we look into the deliverables of our network and resources. A new partnership is in the works with a very popular publishing provider to offer printed materials in networking technologies (IP com, network security, storage), and Cisco® certification. These materials will be added into the Virtual gifts and other offers on the site to enhance the training and education of our members.

Our network was built to provide value and in so doing, we are adding value across the board for all.

There are some limitations in geographic locations for the recipients and we are working on these issues to ensure that everyone can and will benefit from what is being offered.

We thank you for your support as we build on this network and its resources.

Good day to you my members, friends, connections, clients, partners, associates, et al,

Today I am very excited to send you a very special invitation to join us in our new home for you to benefit from what is being provided for you, and to help build on the collaboration and networking resources we’re making available for all on and about technology and IT Security. Don’t think of this as “another network”, think of it as a better network with a more targeted focus on two critical areas of our future, IT/technology and securing them. We’ve taken some of the best features of LinkedIn, Facebook and Ning and integrated them into our own with more to come.

We have put a lot of work into it and will continue to do so in order to make it more valuable as we move forward.

I know this will be of great value for us all as we are all affected by the issues and there impacts and so we must build this great place of collaboration and networking about it. Please help to share this new resource and info.

About the network.

Our Technology / IT Security Social Network is a professional place where people come together to create a vibrant, resourceful, strategic and secure social atmosphere of networking, training, education, awareness and collaboration for, on and about technology and securing them.

We invite you to participate in the full functions and features of our network as we build on it to enhance its values and mission for the future. We ask that you share the word with your associates, friends, peers and everyone that is interested in the world of security and being more comfortable and secure in it. This network is specifically geared towards technology, IT Security and everything in and about it.

The focus of this social network is to build greater training, education, awareness and provide the guidance, advise, services and support needed to maintain the secure presence and stability of all infrastructures (homes, businesses (all sizes and types), schools, churches, etc) for all. We look forward to your participation in this effort as a professional, specialist, technologist, leader, contributor, reader, advisor or just a member wanting to learn more.

Good day to you,

On May 1st 2009, TITSSN answered the call of providing a converged resource to address the needed online training, education, awareness and resources of the technology and security issues and challenges facing us today for tomorrow. As leaders in this field we understand the challenges being faced in dealing with the day to day management, learning and happenings of these threats and their impacts. While countries, companies and organizations are falling victims to these attacks, industries are suffering through the loss of revenue, privacy and productivity, and people are feeling and seeing the real effects of the real world we live in where the internet brings us together as a global connected network filled with valuable resources and resistance is futile, it is everywhere and is not going away.

We are still not seeing enough being done to educate people across the board and make them aware of these issues and their true impacts and so we’re taking the network to a higher level towards this initiative.

IT Security is a people problem, not an industry one and as such must be addressed effectively and accordingly.

So it is for this reason that we choose to build a social community to address these things together and to provide the training, education and awareness by the people who can speak of and about them at all levels, those who develop them, those who sell and support them, those who are out in the field fighting the good fight to prevent, mitigate and stop the growing rates of infections and compromises and those who want to learn more about being safer and secure together in one place. This is a work in progress and as we grow, so we’ll learn and so we’ll adjust to the need for changes. This is what we do on a daily basis as TITSSN continues to deliver its messages of security education, training and awareness now for a more secure future. We will be moving our operations into the social network immediately to help enhance the collaborative values, resources and functionalities.

The IT Security Suite Network’s Technology / IT Security Social Network is a place where people come together to create a vibrant, resourceful, strategic and secure social atmosphere of networking, training, education, awareness and collaboration for, on and about technology and securing them.

We invite you to participate in the full functions and features of our network as we build on it to enhance its values and mission for the future. We ask that you share the word with your associates, friends, peers and everyone that is interested in the world of security and being more comfortable and secure in it. This network is specifically geared towards technology, IT Security and everything in and about it.

The focus of this social network is to build greater education, awareness and provide the services and support needed to maintain the secure presence and stability of all infrastructures (homes, businesses (all sizes and types), schools, churches, etc) for all. Everyone is affected at all levels and so we must cultivate an open concerted atmosphere to address issues effectively. We look forward to your participation in this effort as a leader, contributor, reader, advisor or just a member wanting to learn more. Please adhere to the policies and rules of the network so that all may find a common group to collaborate in.

Good day to you,

So what’s the word with and about our network?

Ever since the info leaked about our social network I have received a number of interesting comments, inquiries and feedback and I can’t begin to tell you how excited (more now than ever) I am about this. For the past 8 months we have been working on the new structure of TITSSN to create a converged resource for the network to operate in/from due to the vast extensive reach of our education and awareness programs, initiatives and focus. We have an international presence that has created partnership and alliances in countries around the world and we had to factor in all these different variables. The language variables, time differences, cultural differences, legal differences and the aggregating of all of them all played a significant factor in this decision making process and we tried to create the most comfortable yet resourceful setting to work and grow in..

We looked at various content management systems and other collaborative solutions but when you really look into it, TITSSN is a network of partners, associates, customers, clients, fiends and peers in and about technology with a special emphasis on the security pieces of it. If it is a technology product, solution, device or tool, we provide the needed security, know how, solutions and guidance to support it. So in essence, TITSSN is a converged network of resources and as such is what we needed to address with this initiative.

So, how do we address that?

As a social network where our members, partners, associates, vendors, developers, security professionals, IT professionals and people in general will come to learn more about the state of the IT Security Threats Landscape, we are making every effort to harness the true education, awareness, support, services and resources needed to help create a resilient social network specific to technology and IT Security. As an industry leading organization comprising of industry specialists, executives, developers, professionals, vendors and educators, we must take this approach to making this happen in a concerted way thus we bring you, The IT Security Suite Network’s Social Network which will be officially launched on May 1st 2009.

The network will provide features such as:

Blogging
Forums
Featured products and recommendations
Featured companies and information about them
Special discount offerings on services and support from our network members
Polls
Recommendations
Points towards membership benefits
Interviews
Collaboration and networking
Events managing and distribution

As more people join they will be creating the needed pieces (blogs, groups, forums, polls, etc) that will be suitable for them. We are very excited about this and have been working diligently on testing and enhancing the features to make it very valuable and effective for all.

So stay tuned and get ready for this awesome new network and we look forward to the support of everyone towards this initiative. We will have an official press release for launch.
