View now Fuel company takes a fresh approach to IT vendor management Global Partners started as a heating oil company whose technology strategy was limited to keeping the lights on. But as the company entered a period of rapid growth, the CEO became interested in what IT could deliver.So when I came in, it was with the mandate to reshape IT from a utilitarian function into an agent of transformation. To accomplish this, we identified technologists who could blossom into business-oriented folks with a front-office technology mind-set. We launched an education program and overhauled the help desk, and within four years, IT became a vital part of the organization.

The additional locations are independent restaurants not part of the Jimmy John's chain.The breach is thought to have begun on June 16 when someone began gaining access to the terminals through a user name and password that are normally used to remotely manage the devices. Companies like Signature Systems use remote management so they don't have to send a technician to each store, saving time and money but also opening the devices up to just the sort of attack that happened.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE Apple says most Mac users are safe from 'Shellshock' Bash bug, promises quick fix Yes, recent versions of Mac OS X are vulnerable to the critical "Shellshock" Bash bug revealed earlier this week, including OS X Mavericks—but don't sweat it unless you're doing ninja-level Unix tricks with shell commands already.That comes straight from Apple, which provided iMore with the following comment on the Shellshock bug: "The vast majority of OS X users are not at risk to recently reported bash vulnerabilities… With OS X, systems are safe by default and not exposed to remote exploits of bash unless users configure advanced UNIX services.
