Cyber attacks are now at epidemic levels. A single computer breach is now estimated to cost over $7.2 million per incident. Companies, universities, utility plants and government offices are battling this by adding more backend security (like firewalls, anti-virus and CAPTCHAs) to protect their sensitive data, all the while leaving the “front door” wide open. The biggest and most overlooked threat to almost every system is not from outside. It’s your own employees! Beefing up password size and complexity frequently leads to more insecurity because it drives the users to practice poor password management.   Dovell Bonnett has been creating security solutions for computer users for over 20 years. In order to provide these solutions to consumers as directly, and quickly, as possible, he founded Access Smart. With each of his innovations, the end user — the person sitting in front of a computer — is his # 1 customer.   Mr. Bonnett’s solutions reduce security risks for individual users, small businesses and large

Susan Handley first started designing handbags when she was ten years old. At that time, the ideas remained strictly in her imagination. Today, they’ve grown up to become a very real part of her adult life. As the founder and sole designer of Beijo, Susan is not only watching her own dream come true, but is also the creative force behind a growing success story for women all across the country. As a single mom struggling just to make ends meet, Susan started Beijo with no prior business experience. Instead, she had the encouragement of her friends and family, and the desire to make a better life for herself and her young son, Kyle. It was Kyle, in fact, who provided the name for his mom’s company. “Beijo,” which means “kiss” in Portuguese, was Kyle’s second spoken word, one that the toddler often repeated when asking for a “beijo, Mama, beijo.” From that kiss for luck was born the inspiration for Susan to begin selling—at first by the armload out of her car—the Beijo bags that, only three years later, are now
